Best part of my day today was getting this notification Nigel. Thanks so much for putting these out every day!!!
Thanks Trevor, nice to hear!!
Agreed
*Good morning* Sir Nigel Sonders! I love the apple tree, the NEBARI on that thang is amazing! 🔥🔥
ye
Nigel, This has to be my favorite tree in your collection. I enjoyed hearing the story about how you obtained this tree. I'll be watching for updates on this beautiful apple tree.
One of my absolute favorites of your trees
When you said, "here I go" I felt that
"We've had a few cold nights" ... 9*C, that's a British summer.
lol!
I would even change the front to the back left (when looking from the front view), because those smaller branches provide depth to the look of the tree, also the rootspread is nice and the trunk has a lot of character with that deadwood and two joining live veins.
Agreed!
oh ive been raising ladybugs like crazy on my aphid farm
Lesson of the day.
Life's a birch.
I’d have to disagree with you on the front you chose for the tree, I really like the back branch and the Y shape with both live veins, beautiful tree!
Same her e
Looks like the aphids love the new, tender, juicy leaves, and stems the best.
So many beautiful angles on this tree, the front you picked is wonderful. I really like something in the 20:09 to 20:10 range as a front too! Gives kind of the impression of a mountain path going off into the distance.
This tree is my favorite of your trees
YES The legendary gone-through-a-woodchipper apple tree bonsai
Your apple tree shows the love for your plants. Patience, hope and rebirth of a tree, practically considered dead. Amazing,Nigel
Love this tree! The dead wood in the trunk is beautiful. Glad to see it’s recovering from its fireblight bout. Thanks for the update.
This apple looks like a dificult project but abolutely stunning one
I really like this tree. Also the linden you've been working on is another favourite of mine
Always a good way to end the evening watching a good Bonsai tutorial
So nice of you, thanks!!!
Seeing this tree recover over the years has made me tremendously happy. Love seeing the new content on it
Transformative intervention on the apple. Great work. Appreciate the stepwise approach to styling. It looked like you didn’t see it coming either.
It was a bit of a surprise finding the nice curves on the trunk!
I love that apple I’m very envious
His hair is crazy as hell 🤣🤣 love it
Aphids are something else. My apple trees seem to be attacked by Ear Wigs. Have to put crab shells around mine to keep them off. Not much for looks but it works.
Earwigs were very rudely eating my chojubai flowers. I put the pot in a tray in another tray of water. That also worked :)
Your lime bonsai and apple bonsai are my favourites of yours🌱👍
I thought the weeds were there on purpose! They reminded me of forget-me-nots and made the whole planting look very spring-y.
I can’t begin to tell you Nigel how much I look forward to your videos as they are not only educational but inspiring. I think your apple tree looks beautiful and I’m excited to see updates on it. I began my journey into bonsai when the pandemic started. It’s with your videos and others and through several books that I have made it almost a year and a half with my trees which by the way all made their way to my home as nursery stock.
The Bonsai Zone is a very beautiful canal. It's a shame for me not to know English, but I still learn and enjoy the channel. Thanks for sharing. Greetings and until the next video👍😄
Thanks so much Ferran!
The thing to keep in mind with bonsai is that one is never truly finished there is only one word for a finished bonsai. Dead. Diebacks like that often require or suggest styling changes and choices one thing you might consider is to select a new front for the tree perhaps where the small amount of dead wood is visible between the two live veins. It's your tree and your choice. just something you might think about.
You are very lucky with this apple tree. The story, the potential, the character. It is a beauty. I like it.👍
Always enjoyable to watch you create and cultivate Nigel.
That's a much better front, Nigel! Love it!
Look forward to your videos. Love the look of this apple tree!
Wow beautiful yard, and wonderful to see how stunning 😍 your range of trees you have are. Love it. I am trying a plum tree, from seed. Only 3yrs so far. But your apple tree she is pretty.
I have a lemon tree from seed it’s almost 3 as well!
Great work Nigel, I really appreciate the effort you put into editing your videos.
Thanks, Nigel!
I love this tree. So unusual.
Your apple tree is a great looking specimen so far. It will develop into a nice tree. Hopefully flowers in the spring.
Thanks Tom!!
ughh love your vidddssssss ive been here scince 2016 and had a few accounts subbed to you and definetley had some issue with the notifs but i binge watch your videos if ever i missed some ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
a really simple solution for deciduous material in general would be to just cut the branches down to the 3rd leaf on everything (the 1st one doesn't develop a new bud) and build ramification that way really fast (or in about 3-4 years it would be pretty much done). once the new branches come in just repeat the same process over and over
Hi Nigel. I’m out of the country now for a few months, and I don’t have much time for watching TH-cam videos, just enough time to watch your daily videos every night before bed! You’re literally the only channel I watch right now, and I love every minute of it. It makes me feel at peace, and reminds me of home. Thanks for everything, can’t wait to see what else you do this summer!
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy your travels!
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks Nigel! It’s a work trip but I’m having a great time, excavating Neolithic Çatalhöyük again after 4 years away, it’s so good to be back here!
@@prehistoricbonsai4334 Very cool, best of luck and enjoy!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone Thanks so much, I certainly will!
Very nice tree Nigel, i think the new front looks very good 👍🏼
Brilliant video :) Aphids really gather around apple trees! No aphids on any of my other trees but the apple! Looking forward to seeing how this tree develops. Thanks Nigel!
Looks good
My grandson and I are studying "stratification" this year. It is going to be a big project; we are saving allour fruit seeds and pits, if they come off a tree that is, and we are collecting pine cones etc, as we find them.
I kinda hope I am going to have way too many seedlings for my own use by next year sometime. Which give me lots of time to ingratiate myself with a backyard owner..
Nice Mike, sounds like a fun project!
oh I do like the front of the tree you've selected Nigel!
Love it!
Thanks, rock collecting trip, hopefully soon!!!!
@@TheBonsaiZone Hey friend, I sent you an emil last night
Thanks good video..
I have a unique taste in bonsai but my top two you own, Nigel are your apple and your umbrella tree. Character and story go a long way.
I like your secateurs Nigel. They look like they have leather handles, there seems to be a seam running along the inside. It goes well with the brass.
Best
Nice tree
I think the "new front" is really good, the pot then should be round and it'll help to balance the visual weight of the tree. Additionally I think the lowest leave on the branch growing in the front has the potential to develop as lowest branch. I would keep an eye on that.
Darn Aphids!
👍👍
Foist!!
James, nice going, I always wonder who will be Foist!!!
Great video Nigel. Where do you purchase this kind of pot?
The story of your apple tree reminds me the teachings of the Buddha 😅
Btw, I love your little Amida buddha statue 🙏
I am absolutely amazed by the apple tree, however are you sure that moss covering the inside is a healthy idea? Won't it help to decompose the dead insides and help fungal infections to spread?
The apple tree is quite unique with its deadwood and history, has it ever flowered and fruited for you before? Also is there no ladybugs in your area that will feed on aphids, I sometimes see ladybug larvae feasting on aphids in my garden.
Hi , I have a 3-4 year old Orange and I am trying to make it a bonsai. I have cut it's 2/3 part of its trunk and it has a small root left. Will it die or grow ? Please reply
Kinda like the PPAP song... "I have a birch, I have an apple... APPLE-BIRCH" LOL
Ants are probably farming the Aphids.
If not for the filming, would it make more sense to treat the aphids then come back to trim a week later?
Apple bonsai is the hardest i ever did but now after 10years and i started on a 10year old tree so 21years soon i have fruit every year small but good tasting
Cool, it's nice to get a reward after waiting so long!
ive got a handful of crab apple trees started.. maybe theyll give me some heartbreak too.. i need more of that.. can only hope.. if your hopes are crushed hoping your apple trees crush your hopes, does that mean the trees are doing you good or not? either way, its a sad sight
Make the low branch grow towards the left.
Nigel, what are you pulling out of the soil with the tweezers?
I've just been learning about Bonsai for a short period of time now. But in all this learning Im curious. Do people use the Bonsai technique to start a tree out to loog better for in their yard or is that something that doesnt really happen?
It was very popular back in the day. A lot of old beautiful trees have been grown like bonsais. It’s not as common nowadays, but I’m sure a lot of people still do it to this day :) I sure will as soon as I get my own house! :)
Well this video from 2021 answers my first question? Now it's 2024, how is that apple tree doing now?
👍🍎
Thanks Bruce!!
Hi Nigel, why don't you try wiring? Wouldn't that get you to your desired shape faster?
Can a bonsai apple tree still produce fruit? If so, is the fruit smaller than a regular sized apple tree?
Btw, Love the videos Nigel!
My tree have fruit on it every year (only 2 last year) but a little small (4 good bites) it is an "elstar" apple tree a little smaller then The One in this video
@@andersnrregren9087 cool! Thanks
What would you say are the most resilient bonsai trees to have , i always seem to kill them
i think its beautiful, maybe carve a bit of the dead wood and add some lime sulphur to bleach.
Ive been having problems with my bougainvillea and its leaves are curling upward, like a taco! People have told me its an aphid problem but I cant seem to find any. Not sure what my problem is
It may be too much heat? If mine are in the greenhouse and I don't water them enough, they start to curl.
@@TheBonsaiZone hmm see I thought this initially but people were saying that bougies thrive in heat. Do you keep yours in full sun?
Is the apple tree hardy enough to stay outside all winter?
Yes, if we have a mild winter, if it goes below -18 C, I bring it into the basement for a while.
I don't know why but every time I see a insect infested plant I get shivers down my spine. Is it common or am I loosing It?
Same here! I hate them..
very curious how this tree looks now in 2023

Here is the latest video!
Is Scottish moss a bad moss?
have you ever dropped the spoon in your watering can? I have ahhha
Yes, many times, they are hard to fish out!
Hi , its look a old tree
You've got some styling decisions to make on your hair.
Indeed, the hair cutters will be opening soon, I hope!
Holy cow I'm thumbs up #16. 3rd comment! LOL Thank you Nigel! Love this video.
Awesome! Thank you mrhockett1!!!
Hello sir
Aphids LOVE anything citrus... my kumquat gets a heavy attack every year
Please set the caterpillar free from the bag. I think it has a lot of character. Not to mention its potentials!
Unfortunately it's a tent caterpillar, which are infamous for destroying tree foliage. It definitely has the potential to do a lot of damage.
