  • I'm pruning back the summer growth on my bonsai trees before they come inside the plant room for the winter!
    In this video I prune my Guava bonsai, my Money tree and my Kapok Rain Forest.
    The trees in this video are the common Guava (Psidium guajava), the Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) also known as the Malabar chestnut, French peanut, Guiana chestnut, Provision tree, Saba nut, Monguba and the Pumpo and the Kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra)

      I went out and bought a guava after watching his video about growing guavas from seed! I had a lovely snack, and left a ton of seeds in wet paper towel. Almost two years later, I have five little saplings, recently repotted - and pretty healthy :)
      They aren't kidding when they say that guavas are extremely slow to grow. Two years and the tallest one is only about up to my knee. They're very thin, but woody and surprisingly sturdy. They're kind of funny to look at.
      Just last week I noticed that a few have finally begun to rammify -- I'm super excited to see where they go next :)

  • @AtD-Plays-Games
    @AtD-Plays-Games 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just want to thank you real quick for sharing your knowledge. I'm just getting into bonsai (I started three apple seedlings, and I'm hoping to prune them in a year or two when they're more vigorous), so watching you prune is very satisfying and makes me a little less scared of the pruning I'll eventually have to do. You definitely scare me sometimes (OMG why are you taking all the leaves off?!... Oh, it's gonna be ok? Oh, ok.) but when you explain what you do it makes me more confident I can take care of my little trees and make them happy.
    BTW, have you tried splicing two together, so it looks like two saplings that grew too close? That's my plan with two of my three apples. By my understanding, what you do is cut off the bark on the places that will grow together, then bind them with flower tape. Got any tips or tricks?

  • @katedodd79
    @katedodd79 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great series on pruning Nigel.
    Thank you for educating AND entertaining us!
    Your clear explanations of why you cut gives me the courage to try basic shaping of my little Yew and Ash. Though, not sure if this is the right time of year. Should I wait until late winter/spring?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would do the structural pruning late fall or early winter. This will give the wounds time to dry up before the sap flows in spring. As the new shoots grow in in spring, you can pinch or remove buds that you don't want, to further refine the shape.

  • @tf7602
    @tf7602 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm, my money tree only has leaves at the very top of the stems. Is that because I have too many stems in one pot or could it be because of light conditions? Not enough water?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the money tree is kept outdoors in the summer and watered and fed well, it should grow very tall with lots of leaves before fall. I would switch to a bonsai soil, this will allow you to water and fertilize more often without much fear of root rot.

      It's nice to have a lot of trees because many of them only need to be worked on twice a year while they are developing. This allows me to always have a tree that I can work on while the others are growing.
