      I saw this pop up and just thought to share it with you! I like how this technique gives the billowy cloud look.

      @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers Nigel. I think this technique seems to suit them really well. Possibly could work on some broadleaf and deciduous but not all I think 😃😃

    Sam you’re a top bloke! After the year you & your family had last/this year it’s great, no awesome to see you back! Don’t personally know you but my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Try to keep moving forward brother. The bonsai world is a caring world in my experience so much love from the UK Bruce.

    What a cool trunk on this tree, a triple. I like the foliage on it.

  • @MrNosajwhitey
    @MrNosajwhitey หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Maybe sit the slab on a container where the slab can wick up moisture if the container is able to hold the right amount of water

    • @MrNosajwhitey
      @MrNosajwhitey หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Plus I reckon the way you do these are most realistic miniature native bonsai I've seen

    • @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke
      @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great idea. Have thought of this also. Will have to try and find an appropriate container. Merry Xmas.

    Hi Sam, this melaleuca looks great. You really capture the natural style of the Aussie trees, not the typical triangle shape. Keep up the good work, and Merry Christmas, Mate.

    You have some nice weather your way. Cold here in the windy city. 12F/-11.C with a windchill of 0F/-17.77C. I like the moss around the tree.

    Merry Xmas Sammy, that tree is a cracker mate. I hope I have one like it soon. Started bonsai 1 year ago and I'm starting alot of trees from seed. Unbelievable almost, that this was tube stock 5-6 years ago. This made me happy and hopeful. Ledgend mate👍👍

    Good video mate, happy to see you back. More natural styling is getting more attention around the bonsai world now. I got one like that probably melaleuca bracteata?

  • @Bearded_Bonsai
    @Bearded_Bonsai หลายเดือนก่อน

    The audio was perfect mate. If it does start playing up, it's usually the connection that goes from the receiver to the phone. You can set the microphone part of the Rode Wireless Go II to keep a recording as well and then use the audio off that in editing, depends how much work you want to do in processing. Nice tree, the slab planting suits it too 👍

    • @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke
      @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cheers for the feedback mate. Glad it worked well. I was aware of recording but didn't want to take the next learning curve in the editing. I may have to learn how to overlay sound in the future in case of an issue. Old bloke like me struggle to learn new skills 🤣

    • @Bearded_Bonsai
      @Bearded_Bonsai หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke Yeah it's a bit of a pain in the arse to have to overlay the audio track and get it to line up properly. I find when I use the Rode mic with the GoPro there's always a hiss on the audio that's recorded on the Gopro. When I bought my last new phone a couple years ago I bought one with no headphone port (muppet) 😂 so I have no choice really but to use the recording direct off the mic. The Audio on this video was fine so you might be right👍

    Looks like bracteata. They smell great when you cut the leaves. I have a literati of this tree.

  • @dougpetty6854
    @dougpetty6854 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Technical tip Sam, the sound would be marginally better if you shaved off the beard 😂😂😂 .... you are spot on with the method, just sorted out a Melaleuca I was given in the same way, copied your mallee style from a year or so back 👍👍

    • @SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke

      Beard is close to going mate. A new one will grow back soon enough 🤣

  • @bryanmorrion9503
    @bryanmorrion9503 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well you are my newest best friend. I had a melaleuca basically the same as yours. Grew from a bird dropping i think around 10 years ago. I have been mucking around with it cut and grow for branches etc. this method you just showed got me saying yes. As mine is around 1metre tall now in a large plastic container and is growing madly with new growth going wild. So in the middle of your video i went out done 4 branches out of many and thought THANK you looks so different and stunning. 😄👍🇦🇺🦘
