- Some heavy mid summer pruning to my medium leaf size Ficus benjamina, root over temple.
I'm also looking at some old Thuja trees, that I haven't seen for 20 years.

You are my idol in bonsai! You are so much more casual than all other bonsai masters on youtube, and i love that! Thats how I've learned so much from you in the last 2 years even as someone in their late teens! Your frequent posting also posts a smile on my face too!
Thanks so much, very nice to hear, I'm flattered!!
I do love videos from Nigel, especially that he works on smaller trees that are not just the common bonsai species everyone else shows even though I do have a thing for Japanese maple trees myself
Nigel is fantastic for details, I would also suggest Herons Bonsai, Peter is one of the best for confidence when it comes to rough pruning for basic shape and making more trees from the ones you have and Bonsai Mirai for getting into the nuts and bolts of it all
Between these 3 they cover everything a person could ever need to know in ways that are easy to understand
@@Derek-w9jI would recommend Notion Bonsai aswell, he’s very good at explaining what he does and why👌🏻
I agree with every bit of this comment 🙌🏼
Lots of BIG CUTS came up today! Have you considered other possible fronts? The “healing side”, and angles around it, offer other very interesting and pleasing possibilities for fronts, to my amateur, untrained and experienced eye. The sphere shaped bulge in the front doesn’t appeal to me and the healing side seems to have better flow to it. Very BOLD cuts and styling today. Agree with you, all for the better. Thanks.🪴🪴🪴
I agree with changing the front but I have not considered the nibari for this.
Almost missed this video. Nice roots growing over the temple. Great pruning done by the Master.
Vid begins with a very cool looking tree, "there are issues with this tree" after the trimming, oh ok! Always nice to see your prospective Nigel!
Yes, it got quite a prune!!! I hope it looks good by the end of summer!!
I think you have correctly identified what this tree needs, and you’ve put it on the right path forward. Nice job
Thanks Steve, some really hard cuts for a better future!!!
ENORMOUS thujas!!! Oh my!! Don’t believe I’ve ever very seen any that large! Thanks. 🌳🌳🌳
They are beauties!!
Wow, that was impressive!
I swear that temple is shrinking though
Lol, yes, the tree never stops growing!!!
What a makeover! Love it!
Thank you!! 😊 Yes, some brutal cuts, but I think it will look good once it begins to recover!!
I like the new look for the temple ficus. It is going to look brilliant when fills out ❤
What a great video, nigel! Perfect executed pruning on the ficus and very interesting to see the thjua on the graveyard. I have so many thuja on the go . So full grown trees is fun!
I thought the bark was smoothing out on them as they where older
It's interesting looking at the bark on Thuja trees! So many trees have different bark as they age, I think they go from smooth to rough as they get ancient!
Some big cuts there nigel. All ready to grow again. Great job.
Thanks 👍 Chris!!
Bonsai by the graveyard!!! New segment?! Lol
Don't forget to choose your spooky tree!😋
Thanks!!
Seeing the thermometer I always wonder how you're not sweating (much) with almost 40°C, especially with all the humidity due to the plant's watering.
Anyway, the ficus looks MUCH better now that you shortened it! I think the height of it is perfect, can't wait until the shoots widen the canopy
I know right? It’s 24°C where I live here in Sweden today and I’m sweating way more than him😂
@@dahlmasen3084 I'm also melting at those temperatures here in Germany :D
Thanks so much, it does get hot in the greenhouse mid afternoon. I drink lots of water and you get used to the heat and humidity as summer progresses!!
The Ficus should look good once it fills out again, at least I hope so!!!
Looks like an octopus with an hairdo 💯💢looking better now😊
Thanks!!!
looks like the left view have some better taper to the trunk, it could be a future option ;-)
This year i started a forsythia root over statue. Hopefully one day it will look as nice as your ficus!
I'm sure it will look fantastic some day!!
😊
23:47 I like this front
I found a little mini Crown of Thorns yesterday at a local nursery and I bought it! First time I’ve seen one, not that I’ve been looking for one but I thought of yours when I saw it and just had to buy it😅 It’s only about 10cm high but it was only about $3😁
So cool!
im waiting for the vietnam temple video
👍👌👌
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
The view of the ficus at 13:25 or so sure looks like a possible alternative front. What do you think?
A possibility for sure!!!
Maybe you can find the way to outlive those trees & even meet the souls in their memorial tombs ? John chapter 5, verses 28 - 29 .🙏 ( regards from england for the Bonsia Zone )
1:30 I actually quite like the shape, it reminds me of a woman's body, the roots flowing down like a mermaids tail fanning out.
Cool and thanks!!!

Unfortunately, you will never be able to make decent bonsai without wiring. It's such a huge part of bonsai styling. It's like not watering the tree hoping that it will rain.....
I think Nigel's clip-and-grow technique is a nice alternative to the unnatural manipulation with wires. There is room for more than one style of bonsai in the world and whether it is "decent" or not is really in the eye of the beholder.
Lingnan bonsai styled with clip and grow only are considered some of the best bonsai in the world. To say a decent bonsai cannot be styled without wire seems to contradict this?
I find it strange that you are insulting me and trees that I have developed. Maybe it's time you think about yourself and what kind of person you want to be?
Maybe you have never watched the channel and your comment is based on ignorance? Maybe you are a frustrated person and are just taking it out on someone else?
Anyway, keep wiring your trees and create "bonsai looking" plant art, and I'll keep working away on mine, trying to create excellent looking miniature trees!
You do know that the art of bonsai is MUCH older than the technology of wire, don't you? There are plenty of channels that show wiring, you don't need to criticise someone who does things differently just because it doesn't fit your narrow view of "right". A great many more-than-decent bonsai that have never seen wire exist in the world.
