    Excitied for the future too. Seeing, then explaining & showing what you're doing and why....has always been your strong point, and is why I've subscribed as many years that I have. Thanks Nigel.

    This tree looks good. Remember that mature Brazilian Rain trees develop a twisted trunk. They are beautiful bonsai subjects. Loved all the bonsai updates. Thanks for your videos. Always a pleasure to watch.

    I really appreciate the detailed trimming video. I aquired a double trunk Brazilian Rain Tree in July for my bday and it's ready for some serious pruning. Your thought processes and strategies are very informative.

    I don’t think I’ve seen the trunk of a full sized Rain Tree before. I am digging that texture! So awesome that it’s coming out in yours, brother.

    Love watching these. Just a wealth of information. Normally I actually watch a few videos of yours in a day (recent and a few old ones). Hope the kitties are doing good. Bet they are bigger now. Update: kitties are bigger and mum hasn't got her tounge hanging out her mouth. Super

    I like the idea to look on pictures of the species mature and natural growing in the wild and get inspired.
    Some just buy trees and style single one of them as they was pines.

    I have a Sophora Japonica which in appearance is quite similar to the BRT. A few years ago I tried taking cuttings and defoliated them. Zero success.. not one of them struck roots. I didn't persevere.. but I suppose I should try again this time with the leaves, and in the propagator for high humidity so there is less transpiration.
    Someday I'll try to acquire a BRT, they are not common here.
    Anyway, glad to see your new Scots Pine looking so healthy!

    Missed the Live video. I happened to see you are doing Black and Honey Locust. Are you starting from seed? I once came across a Honey Locust that had 3 foot long thorns that had thorns ramified all along the 3 feet. The thornless varieties are call Inermis which is simply Latin for thornless.

    My Brazilian rain tree is also is bad shape post repot. While it has not dried, the leaves seem to curl up soon after sunrise - this is something typical post sunset. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This tree had no surface roots to hold it in the pot, so wire was brought up from the drainage holes and wrapped around the trunk to hold the tree in place. This can be done to Jades too as they have very little roots and are very top heavy.

    Great work. Recently i have found a shape of tree i really like. Google for Indonesia sumba dancing mangrove. I think it is almost impossible to get this species of tree. Let alone to take care of it in german climate. Do you have an idea, in your seemingly endless tree wisdom, which tree could form a similar shape to these magnificent dancing mangroves. Best regards

      @@TheBonsaiZone Thanks for your time Nigel. I bought this NIP, labelled as 'araucaria heterophilia', out of curiosity. After I chopped it back it did produce new shoots, so a possible bonsai. Then googling showed up your past videos and I noticed the difference in needle distribution. Further googling led to confusion...
