    It was such a pleasure to meet Dave (and his son Toby) in person! I don’t know how it’s possible, but Dave is even nicer and funnier in person! Thanks for hosting everyone Nigel!

    I’ve seen Nigel work on guest’s trees, but I don’t recall that script being flipped. Dave, that’s gotta feel pretty cool, brother. Almost as cool as your Up North Bonsai podcast, episode 1.

    It was great seeing a few of you come together - I also enjoy watching Dave's Bonsai projects. that short is going to be good to see as well. Having watched this today it reminded me that I have along overdue large tigerbark to tame! I do ned to change the potting angle and traditionally I do this sort of stuff in Spring. Have you ever done semi-repot work in the summer with Ficus? It is a shame this was too early for me to catch and please wish me luck for my first premiere at 5pm today with my $50 Bonsai Challenge. Cheers.

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally yes, it should be done in spring before the new buds come out. If you are very careful and don't prune the roots, you can get away with some root sorting work this time of the year!

    The scale-insect has one natural enemy- ants. And though the ants spread aphids - they are easier to fight, than scales. One or two days beside the anthill, and they will totally wipe out the nasty creatures.
