    That spider survived the great soapy deluge and rinse, then just went right back to work at the top of the tree. Legend.

      Makes me so sad that Nigels work is frowned upon in bonsai communities cuz of he’s so different and does things differently. Makes no sense to me for anyone to hate. At the end of the day if it’s a beautiful tree who cares about the steps he took to get it there! Team Nigel

      Cotoneaster is one of the best species for beginners. It is hardy, vigorous, responds well to pruning and wire-ing, has small leafs and even fruits if you wish so. It will forgive many beginner mistakes, except not watering it, of course. You can grow it from seed, cutting, air-layering. If I had to start again my bonsai journey I'd take a cotoneaster: so easy and rewarding.

    Because Nigel put a bug in my ear, I hit CTC this afternoon, found a sad and forlorn looking dwarf smoke bush for 8 bucks on the "save me!" rack. Took it home and gave it a lot of love... and some abuse with the shears... I am really pleased with the results.

    Hi Nigel! I’m new to Bonsai, and love your Channel! Thanks for all your videos!! I suspect that you might have had fuzzy mealy bugs. I battle them on some of my Orchids! Spraying with soap and water is good, but adding some Isopropyl alcohol will kill them on contact, and not harm your tree. Can’t wait to see how your Cotton Easter tree grows!! All the Best! Janet

    i saw those cotoneasters at my local Crappy Tire and i was tempted, too. :P now i'm almost wishing i went and bought one! they seem to have all the best qualities of malus / prunus but not so high-maintenance when it comes to pests or disease. yours is looking very much like an old orchard tree, when you've finished pruning it. someday, maybe, when i have more room!

    Cotoneaster are delightfully forgiving trees. I have 3 collected trees, and another one that is waiting for the spring to join them. I should send a photo (but they are only about 18 months form collection, so not very advanced!) I really look forward to the development of this tree as the years progress.

    Enjoyed very much seeing you work on this Cotoneaster. It does remind me of an old apple tree as well. May it grow well for you. (I love this tree but can't grow it in my zone 10 climate as it is too hot/humid for it. So I can grow one vicariously with you.)

    Of cotonaster there are many diffierent varieties. You were lucky to find a cotonaster aupiculatus because it's one of best for doing bonsai. In my area it's only available the contonaster orizzontalis that has an awful bi-dimensional growing patter with straight, symmetric 90degree fishbone branches.

      Wound paste helps a lot to speed the healing process. Divide by 2 or 3 the time it takes to heal a wound without cut paste. But forget about the fungal protection legend. Fungal spores are flying around in the air all the time. By the time you make the cut, the spores are already on the wound. I guess the paste protects the wound from drying out, what speeds the healing (personal theory, if some plant biologist has a better explanation I take it).

  • @farmert9679
    @farmert9679 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your cuttings. Try putting them in your solution of water in a deep tray and cover the hole branch and put a rock on the branch to hold it under water for 5 minutes and then rinse. Might help out.

    Our shrubs of 14+ years were very old Cotoneaster. We used to get the “white fuzzies” on & off. Neem oil would take care of it for 1-2 seasons. I am now kicking myself for never trying to propagate any of the cuttings from trimming as I no longer live in that house. Hmmm? Maybe I’ll ask the new owners if I can take a few.. Any idea if the thicker hardened branches would root? Or should I stick with greener whips? Thanks!
