I just love his joy and passion. it´s like many of us adults, when talking and showing our bonsai, the inner child pops up. I surely know that from myself, both with my bonsai trees and my paintings. I can´t wait for my Birch to turn white.
Jonathon is a delight. and that cypress! what a great vacation memento. And I love that he uses his special pots. Their garden complete with sauna is very col too.
Been waiting (and pestering) for this update for a long time, not least because it inspired me to make a similar birch forest myself at the time. I wired a new leader on one of the trees but sadly the wire strangled it and the tree died and I need to replace that one tree in the composition. Super collection and bench tour. Anyone who has not seen the first two needs to check them out - it’s a masterclass on making bonsai forests. Thanks for the update Nigel (and Jonathan). And sorry for being a pain in the ass about it 🙏😂😂😂😂
An absoluty great tour of wonderful trees, and given the opportunity, please express my appreciation to Jonathan for his collection, and bonsai attitude in general. A great tag-along video of friends talking about bonsai and beyond 😃
Rewatching this video and it just shows how many interesting videos you produced. Some are just getting better when watched this time of year (November) when we have a day just lasting 7:50 to 15:18) and you need some comfort to battle the darkness.☺
What an incredibly nice guy with a amazing collection. I only started growing bonsais a year ago and being 71 years old I probably won’t see any of my (mostly Yamadori) trees as a finished bonsai but I’m having tons of fun and with Yamadori trees I’m a few years ahead of time 😀👍
Hi Rafi, you made that happen and I enjoy this tree every day. Whenever some one comes in the garden that is the tree they comment on first. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoy this video .. I loved the antique benches, .. and tables, .. and the solo perch- tables that display all the bonsai. This, I believe, is just as important as the bonsai themselves. Presentation is EVERYthing. Even the black table with the below shelf that houses the dozens of empty (but eventually- to- be- used) bonsai planters was a treat to see. In my yard, i have been busy obtaining several presentation tables for my bonsai so i really do appreciate this video ... and the effort that went into this gentleman's backyard. By the way, .. I also have an outdoor sauna ... This guy's backyard is a MAN-CAVE for sure ...
Hi Glad you approve of my display efforts. I share your opinion that showing your trees in the best possible way is like framing a great painting. The real show is in our own gardens, every time we are in our gardens we are fully enjoying the full experience. Thank you and Good luck!
That was pretty cool coming back after 3 years. And daggum! is that an awe inspiring collection. Thank you for bringing us back, Nigel. And thanks to Jon for sharing!
Hi Nigel, I live in Victoria, and have been following your channel for 6-7 years. I just subscribed few hours ago, and trying to figure out how to send you few photos of my bonsai, which you inspired me. Your visit to Jonathan was wonderful. His passion for bonsai is contagious to me. I am a member of Vancouver Island Bonsai Society for 11 years, and very humbled to learn this hobby. Thank you.
Thanks for this, you've helped me successfully identify a stump which me n a mate dug up 2 years ago. We had no idea what it could have been but every description of this tree matches. Staghorn Sumac... We've been trying to identify for some time......
Great to see his garden so enthusiastic gentleman I bet he is near my age of 80 years young he still has a good memory Mine is starting fail so all my trees have labels so I don’t APPEAR stupid when people ask their names.
What a wonderful tour! Love the new garden and was wondering ever since last time, what that sauna was. Lol I am curious what the little brown baskets in his pots are for... Decoration, fertilizer... Etcetera.
Thanks for taking us to Jonathan's! I was wondering, how the birch forest was doing, but seeing all the other awesome trees and hearing fun stories was a treat! The Swedish sauna in such a zen garden is a top notch! Ice swimming ...you're braver man than me, but sure keeps one healthy!
I enjoyed this tour very much. Some beautiful and unique Bonsai. One question: Those little red "pots" that are on top of the soil in many of the plantings, what are they? Fertilizer dispensers maybe? Thanks again Nigel.
Great tour, trees and information. I’ve learned a lot from this channel. Anybody know what are those little baskets on top of the soil, and what do they contain?
@@jonathanaristone2468 Thank you. I thought you had some type of covering for them outside. Too expensive to keep them out. Glad you have a space for them for the winter time.
I can't find the park you guys were talking about for the dying pine tree. I see "Grasshopper Hill Park" on Kilborne Ave in Ottawa, and "Kilbourn Park" in Chicago, but that looks like a small little recreational park in the city. I can't find anything else close to you guys. There's one in North Carolina too, but I doubt you're referencing that one. I wanna see that tree! 😭
They will crack in the winter! Many people take the trees out of the pots for the winter and put them in the ground. Some protect them from freezing through the winter
Jen I try to make sure they are High fired pots which have a low moisture absorption rate. If I am in doubt, I pull the tree and wrap the root ball with garden cloth and heavily mulch under my bench as I discribed.in the video.

WOW! What a fantastic visit to Jonathan's place. He has a truly AWESOME bonsai collection. Thanks so much for taking us along for the trip.

Thanks Nigel, I sent Jay a pic to post, Happy Birthday BTW.

Couldn't agree more!

Jonathan seems like such a awesome person to hangout with and talk trees ! Awesome video 👍
Very nice. Great tour of Jonathan’s bonsai benches and yard. Fantastic collection and passion.
Very nice collection 👌

Nice to hear you are loving your trees!! Yes Jonathan is 78!
Loved this tour! Jonathan is quite inspiring with all of his ideas.
It was a very interesting tour!!
Amazing bonsai collection Jon. Thank you Nigel for sharing !!!
You helped make it John Thanks again my friend !
Love this, his collection is magnificent
Jonathan is one amazing Bonsai youngster. Choice collection of trees, pots, etc. Really a great video.
So true Tom and so are you!!!
Beatiful Brazil
What a wonderful tour!
Love the new garden and was wondering ever since last time, what that sauna was. Lol
I am curious what the little brown baskets in his pots are for... Decoration, fertilizer... Etcetera.
Thanks Dante they are for fertilizer !
I loved you garden Jonathan, and that statue holding the tree so amazing
Thanks Carlos
Very nice video, thanks for showing :-)
Great tour of Jonathans collection of trees, did you notice the squirrel on the fence behind the swedish sauna ( 9:33 ) :-D
The fence, a squirrel freeway!
amazing video , seems like a lovely soul
Thanks for taking us to Jonathan's! I was wondering, how the birch forest was doing, but seeing all the other awesome trees and hearing fun stories was a treat!
The Swedish sauna in such a zen garden is a top notch! Ice swimming ...you're braver man than me, but sure keeps one healthy!
Thanks Aija and Varg!!!
Great tour. Love the sauna too!
Another great job
Box blight is spreading fast thru the UK
Really enjoyed this video
Nice collections
👍👍👍👍
I enjoyed this tour very much. Some beautiful and unique Bonsai. One question: Those little red "pots" that are on top of the soil in many of the plantings, what are they? Fertilizer dispensers maybe? Thanks again Nigel.
Hi there glad you enjoyed the trip. Those are fertilizer containers to stop the squirrels and chipmunks from eating then.
I’d like to see how those benches work in winter!
Hi Joe, I can send you a picture, But how???
@@jonathanaristone2468 Thank you! A friend of mine and I were talking last night about your design. We really like that idea.
Hello Jon, you could send a picture to Jay at Blue Jay Bonsai, he could add it to subscribers pics?
@@TheBonsaiZone great idea Nigel!!
@@tinjoesstation Mine are against a west fence which is a good start.
Great tour, trees and information. I’ve learned a lot from this channel.
Anybody know what are those little baskets on top of the soil, and what do they contain?
They have fertilizer cakes in them!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I watched your videos, you are very talented Thank You Tarian
@@jonathanaristone2468 Thank you 🙏
I just subscribed!! Thanks Jon!
I wonder if Jonathan encloses the area where he keeps his collection of pots for the winter so that the snow does not get in and cause them to crack?
Hi Actually they all come in the basement.
@@jonathanaristone2468 Thank you. I thought you had some type of covering for them outside. Too expensive to keep them out. Glad you have a space for them for the winter time.
What is the little brown plastic pots in all the plants
I can't find the park you guys were talking about for the dying pine tree. I see "Grasshopper Hill Park" on Kilborne Ave in Ottawa, and "Kilbourn Park" in Chicago, but that looks like a small little recreational park in the city. I can't find anything else close to you guys. There's one in North Carolina too, but I doubt you're referencing that one. I wanna see that tree! 😭
wanderingcanadians.com/2021/01/21/hiking-in-killarney-provincial-park/
so you are in canada, what do you do about the pots in the winter? don't they crack? I never have luck with my pots outdoors
They will crack in the winter! Many people take the trees out of the pots for the winter and put them in the ground. Some protect them from freezing through the winter
Jen I try to make sure they are High fired pots which have a low moisture absorption rate. If I am in doubt, I pull the tree and wrap the root ball with garden cloth and heavily mulch under my bench as I discribed.in the video.
Each time I watch Nigel, I wonder if his barber has a YT channel .....
what are all those red shooter cups on the pots?
They hold fertilizer cakes!
Squirrels. Daytime marauders. Terror by day.
So true Tom!!!
That maple you guys are not sure what kind it is. Those are sliver maples
Hi Nigel... Hope u well... Please give away some of the greatest plant seeds to your viewers....
Thanks Rajat!!
Foist
Nice Dubsy, you have never lost your touch!
