    Hi Peter, Adam here! I see you got the new mic :) The audio levels might be set too high on the wireless transmitter connected to your phone, there is a button on it where you can turn down the sensitivity on it so it doesnt clip and be too loud. Hope this helps! Great video as always! :D

    Thats bizarre, I collected a bunch of beech trees yesterday on my walk route that the owner wanted out. Have a great birthday Peter. Been in hospital for two years now from the age of 31 and this channel gave me the idea to fill my hospital room with bonsai, its beautiful and keeps me busy on these long hospital days. I hope to be well enough one day to visit the nursery.

      @user-pt1cz4ot1e 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is a crazy coincidence. Lol. What a lovely way to beautify the hospital. Definitely a great way to distract too.
      I hope you are doing well and that your trees brighten your days as much as they do mine. 💜

    • @Stimm002
      @Stimm002 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@user-pt1cz4ot1e they definitely do brighten my days, and all the staff. Doctors and nurses always comment on them, I've even gifted a couple to them and now they are into bonsai. Infact 1 of my doctors now comes for an hour or two after he finishes work once a week so we can work on the trees and chat bonsai.
      Thanks for the reply its nice to have a bit of contact with the outside world, it can feel like a bubble universe when you never leave lol. It really was an amazing coincidence wasn't it.

    Been wondering about bonsai lately and it seems like the sort of thing that I could actually do. I have a lot of physical disabilities but come summer, I have no issue going out and collecting some seedlings, and I have a lot of fun sitting down and using my hands and shaping something artistically. I think I’d like to start with some small leaved deciduous trees that can get really fluffy, and I’ve been eying Arbivoritae. I figure I might get a better feel for it if I start with something that isn’t too prickly and work my way into typical evergreens.

    I have 8 decent sized hornbeam I dug out of a hedge which needed to be removed. I gave another couple away and one other didn't make it. This was also 2 years ago and they're looking very similar to your beech. Doesn't take much time or effort for so much result. Keep your eyes peeled for free material folks!

    Man I'm just getting fo the part of the video where you show the ones that didn't work out. You bring a lot into this space by being comfortable enough to show your flaws instead of falsely deluding yourself (or others) that your flaws do not exist!
    I feel that you are demonstrating a worthy example for more than just bonsai by including that in your videos. Thank you Peter!

Do you think i should cut them now ( mean the part with diferent colour) or wait to see where the new leafs come out?, Thank you for all your videos, im addicted to them! 😀
