• Birds Nest Spruce Bonsai
The Bonsai show is coming up on Sept 7th 2019 in Waterloo Ontario Canada. See KW bonsai on Facebook for more details.
There it is...Even overgrown with sedum it looks great and getting it ready for a show to boot! Looks really nice...I watched this video twice and took another screen shot to add to my shop collection...Thanks...
Nigel, Bob Ross left when I was young and many in my generation regard him as a treasure. I see you as the Bob Ross of bonsai and your passion and patience is infectious! Keep it up!!
It’s a beautiful tree sir - thank you for sharing your life’s work and philosophy. Artistic bonsai has its merits, but your natural approach, which maintains the purity of a tree’s growth, better accentuates each plant’s unique inner essence. I find it inspiring.
My untrained eye thinks this tree would look equally captivating in a small round pot with the “front” being the part of the trunk that actually moves away from the viewer. The tree is so horizontal that it might give it more depth and character that way. It’s stunning as is of course.
Thanks for posting!
That is a very nice looking bonsai! Looks very old! I have been listening to you and paying much more attention about removing crossing branches, branches that grow straight up and inward. Along with directional pruning. And I think my little trees are looking much better these days. Thank You Nigel.
Nigel, You are the Bob Ross of Bonzai
Michelle Hodgson It looks like Nigel has one other bird nest to get under control.
agreed
Such a nice tree there Nigel. Looks glad to see you got the ground cover under control 😁
I feel the same way about driftwood treatments. You summed up the unappealing aesthetic aspects of denatured deadwood created by unimaginative application of techniques.
Great BONSAI! We had a BLOE BONSAI CLUB meeting today. Played UKULELE for the trees.
Thank you Nigel. That is a good one. 👍
That tree is gorgeous
Nice looking tree and landscape!
Thank you, a small but mighty tree!
Looks very nice!
Fantastic video! The birdsnest spruce is looking great! I cant beleive how much those pencil cactuses have grown !
I love that spruce. And when you were finished I thought of three letters: wow!!!
I don't generally like them, but in this case a before and after comparison would have been awesome I think. Thank you for the great videos Nigel.
That’s a very nice Spruce Nigel! Looks really old! Cheers my friend! 👍😀
Thank you Mel!
Like what you did with this Bird's Nest Spruce! Looks so much better with the dirt mound removed. Good decision. This tree displays nicely on the small table you redid.
I love the bird nest spruce. Wonderful specimen!
That spruce is one of my favourite in your collection
I really like that slightly backward angle as a new front for the spruce. Looks good
Great Tree Nigel! Great video setups! I call you the bob ross of bonsai!
Hi Nigel... great tree.. love it!! I’ve been missing the releases I have family visiting..foist will have to wait till everyone’s goes home! I love your videos!! And of course the trees!!
I promise you Nigel I will come from India not visit America but your house and your wonderful creation I promise !
Looks brilliant xx
Thank you!
On a small tree, the lichen would grow higher up than it would on a big tree. So id say keep it close to the root base so everything looks to scale.
i'm in love with this tree, looks amazing!
You should make ASMR videos Nigel!
"Bonsai brushing with Himalayan Bowl ASMR"
would instantly go viral! That way, your channel could really get a lot of people into Bonsai Culture!
Your videos have been inspiring, so much so that I now have a wintering issue, due to too many trees. Would you be able to do a video on wintering advice? Thank you.
I have the same problem now! I have 26 individually ported plants. Lol
Hi Nigel, like always, loved the video. I know that you use turface and perlite for your substrate. I have a question though. Why does the soil you removed look like soil or does the turface change with time? Thanks Nigel
How can I get a newly collected very small Dug fur to stay about 1.5 inches but look very old
You will have to let it grow and then prune it back. Repeating this clip and grow over many years will keep the height in check, but the trunk will always grow larger in diameter. Each time you prune the tree back it will get a little taller so you'll have to replace the apex of the tree with a new shoot when the opportunity arises.
One of my favorites. Looks much better without all the Lichen, needed that contrast with the green landscape.
It could be cool if you added a kind of support that Japanese gardeners use to support their trees as it ages and rots. It could save the tree and add a lot to it's ancient looking.
Thank you, very good idea and a very original one too!
Very beautiful tree!
Beautiful tree mate.... keep up the great videos..
Thank you so much! Such a beautiful tree! I cannot allow my mouth to say "bonsai is temporary" lol
The older I get, the more temporary I feel!
@@TheBonsaiZone Well..As do I.
Hello Nigel, like what a good cleaning can completely change a tree. Good work. In fact, I talked about you in one of my last videos. ;-)
I just picked up a birdsnest. Get em boss!
Great, it will make a super bonsai!
Great work Nigel 👍
I would not have removed the moss from the trunk. It gave him naturalness. I don't speak English, I use the google translator. Regards Nigel.
The trunk bark is wondrous
Thanks Sophia, it's getting to be an old tree, over 25 years now!
hi nigel...very nice video and tree looks great as does the table. i have a question...have you heard any updates on the hundreds of years old bonsai trees stolen from the older couple in japan and if they had been retrieved? this is such a tragedy and have been hoping to read some good news but have heard nothing. have you?
I never would have guessed it's age. I like it's hairdo too! :)
Good! Thank! 🇧🇷
My lemon seeds are going good. I have 12 growing now. Im not very experienced with bonsai so lets hope lemon trees aren't hard to make into bonsais
Just try and keep them growing well at first and then when you feel confident, you can begin some light pruning.
This tree looks soo good dude, i love it. keep it up nigel

Bob Ross is the best!
Love your vids, and your Barnet. ( Barnet Fair, hair) kind regards from a Cockney. 😂
Thank you Phil, lots more to come!
Beautiful spruce under ur training...
looking awsome sir.
nice bonsai haircut!
Crazy hair!
beautifull tree!!!
I've been quite discouraged in bonsai the past few months. I went on a trip, and the person who was supposed to take care of my plants somehow managed to kill over fifteen trees in two weeks. How do you recommend I find someone plant-savvy to tree sit?
Join a bonsai club! If you do not have one in your area, start one!
Wow, I feel for you..
I lost one tree like that this summer. 15 is something else :'(
Very nice. Thank you!
Thank you Mary!
When was the last video on this tree? 2 years? I've been waiting patiently lol!
It was featured in a video in Sept of last year, check the playlist in the description for the link!
Hi Nigel! I don't like the idea to let the deadwood rot away. I think the shape of the trunk will not look good without it. There are other ways to preserve the deadwood. You don't need to take lime sulfur. What about woodhardener. The liquid plasticsoak in the wood and hardens.
The deadwood should last many years. It may even out last me!
@@TheBonsaiZone Just my opinion. By the way, I always imagine this spruce in a at least one third smaller and round literaty pot. So the tree would lean far over the lip of the pot, like a tree on a cliff. What do you think?
Hi, Nigel! I finally started my bonsai hobby this year, and with Fall/Winter fast approaching I need to start bringing in my succulents, and tropical plants. However my home's interior does not receive much/any natural light. What kind of lights would you suggest to help with indoor growth?
Hello. I have a slightly different question. Should I keep my Mountain Ash bonsai inside or outside during the winter time? And do you have any videos concerning such tree?
bring some rain here xD it is more then a month with out a rain, my poor are buring with all this sun.
Hi Nigel, can you please tell me where did you buy that small rake? Thank you!
Super .. awesome.
thanks you for sharing...
#newdimensi
what a beauty.... 😍👍
Question! If it's going to be a 55°F night. Is it better for my bonsai to be watered or should I leave them on the drier side?
I water mine well with the water that has been warmed up in the daytime. It keeps a little more heat around the roots for the coldest part of the night.
Nigel, lovely looking tree but whats with the constant radial root syndrome? When you look at trees in nature I don't think i've ever seen a tree with perfect radial roots: I have seen old gnarly, cross over, bumps, sucker branches and out of the ground roots.
The need for perfection is unachievable, as you've said on many occasions use nature as your influence i.e. General Sherman, the thought it has to look like this or like that might be our undoing. If we like the trees we have on our benches we have achieved perfection in our eyes, as every tree has a beauty of it's own and if it has cross over roots so be it. (rant done).
The lichen just reminded me of the old trees in the Welsh valley's and Cumbria U.K 🇬🇧
Brian Kavanagh Boom, Brian!
any advice for my first tree? ill be seeding cherries in about a week or so (winter incubated in the fridge for 90 days) and taking the strongest sprouts
for potting
I love your channel. You are awesome. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way. But your hair style and your bonsai have the same style. :)
"hopefully I get some ramification" LOL
Nothing is a sure thing in the world of bonsai. I am quite certain all will go well as I can see new buds developing all over the branches now!
Hello Mr Saunders. Is there any trees that grows well in sphagnum moss ?
Is that a windswept style? I have 2 small 3yr cuttings I like to train but the junipers growth is all on the left side as it leans right. I'll try to twist it !? Thanks
I'd say more of a slanting style for this one.
Is the birds nest the one on the right or left
Funny, thanks Ivan!
Hey Nigel! How old were you when you started your collection of bonsai? Did you start with one or just go full blown bonsai master in in summer?? LoL
Nigel, you do not necessarily need to use Lime sulfur, there are a lot other products that will have no colouring effect and you will not see any difference but the wood will have higher resistance towards rot. Walter Pall uses some preserving fluid on his decidious trees, I would not say that they do look unnatural in any way.
The problem with your spruce's deadwood is, if you do not treat it, there will some day eventually come insects and drill inside it to lay eggs and the hatchlings will destroy your tree from the inside, with preservation fluid you can prevent this scenario. Bonsai trees will die early enough anyway, no need to improve the risk for them. It's quite contradicting that you fight pests but leave your spruce vulnerable and say it's for naturalistic reasons. I think if the rotting process reaches a certain stage it will create a light smell that will attract exactly those insects that will finish this tree then (it's my thesis).
@Klaus Mateschitz Klartext ?
Btw my hair looks just like urs bro and we rockin it
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Updattttteeesss pleeeeaaaseeee
Soon, the buds are elongating and it will be time to pinch soon.
👍👍👍🌲🌲
FOIST ???
You are Foist Scott, welcome to the Zone!
Beautiful job!
Obviously a student of the Dabster!
🌳👍🤗❤️
OMG this spruce's branches look like your hair- those have the same "feel" about them, dont get to gnarled youself :)

😍😌😁🙌
Thank you Joshua!!!!!
ngl i thought he'd be getting a sweet hair trim
your hair looks like a bird's nest bonsai
I see no progress in 5 years, as assumed.
Actually the tree has changed a lot in the last 5 years, the dead wood is new, both on the branches and the trunk, the shape is improving and the root system is getting stronger. I'm not sure what you are expecting. If you go back and look at some earlier videos, you will see the changes.
@@TheBonsaiZone change is different than progress
I'd be interested in your styling ideas to help make some progress on the tree instead of just changes. I do like to learn, any advice is always appreciated. I think that bonsai can be very isolated and it's always good to hear fresh ideas!
Me hungry
You should get something to eat!
I am, you feed my mind.
🌲🇩🇰👍
Thanks Jan!
Just kupchak life love national tumblers his seeing oxygen in home just advice kupchak design job I life meeting oxygen child too on would thanks kupchak 🥰🥰✌
