After asking my viewers for their opinions on what to do with this collected bushy honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida) a week ago, the results are in, and in this video I style it, along with a second fuschia tree.

Hi Shane. that sounds like an amazing tree. I'd love to see it. You can email me on anthonyhigginsonphotography@gmail.com

On the last one. Really hoped you digg the trunk out and find the nebari on the trunck. You can see it spreads out great

I can't exactly recall the roots, but I think they just went down. I'll have a go at creating some root flare next spring while trying to get it in a shallower pot.

Thanks Luke. That thing is still flowering, but I'm hoping it grows some branches next year to give me some options.

Tony the ones you cut off stick them in water they will root very easily, just reduce the amount of leaves on them but leave some, you will be surprised how quickly they will root. I have a mother tree in the border which I take cuttings from. Good luck mate with your efforts.

Very interesting Joe. I just pulled off some of the lower leaves and stuck them in some compost in a fairly deep pot. next time, I'll definitely follow your advice and put them in water. I've never tried that, but I've heard it works for willow.
@joegarland48852 жыл бұрын
I have rooted large branches of Lonicera nitida, over an inch thick this way, you can cut them in half and root both pieces. All the best mate.

I bought my first bonsai in 2005 when I was doing a diploma in horticulture it was a fusia but it didn’t last, got into bonsai earlier this year and have tried training one that was £1 from Morrisons I’ve got it in a small pot indoors and already cut it back twice in a few months so holding out some more hope for this one.
@TonysBonsai2 жыл бұрын
Hi Sam. I have a few plants from Morrisons myself. Thye are a great way to get into bonsai, and I'm sure you'll soon have a garden full of little trees!

Fuchsia can make very beautiful bonsai. I also really like Ian’s channel. Is this cultivar able to withstand your winters or must you treat it like a tropical and bring it indoors for the winter? Thanks, keep growing

Mrs popple is hardy in most of the UK. I've also got one going together with Tom thumb, which as its name suggests has small leaves and flowers.
@TonysBonsai2 жыл бұрын
I agree Matt. I am not a huge flower lover, but there is something about fuschias that I really like. Thanks for the information, Kevin. Much appreciated, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for a tom thumb!

@@TonysBonsai they are readily available. It it was earlier in the season I would have sent you a cutting. I'm told panicularter lottie fuchsia makes incredible bonsai because of the tiny leaves and flowers. I've got one that has flowered throughout the winter.

Hi Brian. I just quickly stuck a few of the young stems in some compost. I'm not too optimistic, but worth a go!
