"Why'd you put all that wire on?" Family are the greatest critics 😂 You do you Tony 😉

Nice knife Tony. These supermarket ficus trees have their best days ahead of them for sure. Keep the content coming. Your family is an inspiration. Would love to see a picture of them all with you if that’s possible.

Now, my fici (is this the plural of ficus?) are shivering 😂 I‘ve watched your super-bending - go crazy mate - this will make extraordinary instead of boring standard trees. Daddy is developing into a Bonsai Master too. 👍 Meanwhile in Austria: I have to apply some wire now… 😘 Enjoy your day ❤️ Cheers, Martina 🙋‍♀️

I was on the edge of my seat with that one Tony. I've only ever done clip and grow with ficus, nigel saunders influence. I would never try and bend a tree that much because I know its ending in tears.😂😂

Finally got my goat willow vet taped together, thank you for your booming inspiration! Lol keep growing.

Lovely little trees, they'll be great Bonsai. You and your dad are pretty good cutlers; your knife looks really good. I think that's the right term for cutlery makers! Best wishes

I also bought same ficuses from Lidl for 2 euros. Nice trees to work on. Pro tip: Don't leave them out in a colder Finnish summer night in 10 degrees, then when the leaves go yellow evacuate them back inside and forget them for 6 days unwatered because they're in different place than all the other trees😅. Two of them still going strong, two look scruffy now but not hopeless, I'm confident they will bounce back.

Great video Tony good luck with a mate👍👍👍

hot tuna rocks tony! i like real big fish too, seen them touring years ago. i like the hand made knife and your ficus benjimina starter trees too. we are starting to see the ficus bens here in green house shops selling as non "ginseng" type on their own root stock. when i started collection bonsai 8 or so years ago and all i wanted was a ficus not ginseng lol. thanks tony and crew/family

Beautiful knife Tony. Funny enough this is something ive been thinking about trying... if I ever manage to get the time! Great bargain on the ficus plants. Thanks for sharing 👍

Boom!!!! 😅, the knife looks really nice, thank you ❤

Wow, that blade is wicked! (how all the knife youtubers used to say...)

Keep them above 10c when outside. Keep inside when colder than that. Can be kept inside. They are quick growers so I've been fertilizing alot this year. This is also the first year I've had mine outside. They suffer a bit over 35c, they like more water in the heat. My balcony gets to about 43c when pushing 30c outside.

Very nice knife Tony! The plunge grinds are really nice and miles ahead of mine . Great choice of handle material too 🔪

Nice looking knife there , got some nice movement happening on the Ficus... boom, snap 😅 thanks guys

Master Tony and his apprentice. Ficus strike very easily I just stick them in a pot and most strike Your clip and grow I would of done down to the next branch. Loving the videos, mate. Cheers from down under

Lovely job

You're the best Tony I'm gonna try this on one of my ficus cuttings! Ily

Nice video Tony. Ficus are so flexible and fast growing that using wire is brilliant for getting those interesting bends quickly. They are brilliant for easy cuttings as well :)

How on earth do you manage to get so many good deals on your stock plants?!? Really going to enjoy watching these 3 new ficus take their separate journeys - just love this sort of experiment!! I've been practicing your bending techniques - you make it look so easy but it's not 😁. My juniper is giving me the 'stink eye' at the moment but I think I won Round 1 lol!

Ooo, I HAVE A FICUS LIKE THAT AT HOME and I wasn't really sure what to do about it - the last one I mingled with sadly died. But I will give it a try again!

Thanks Tony. I had some of these a year ago but unfortunately they died on me. Gonna give em another go so off to wilko to get some Sunday !

These are hardy trees and grow very dense. Also used as hedge

New subscriber- great video for beginners like me 😊

👍👌🙂

Hi, is there an update on these trees?

Hello mate ! The benjaminas is most less hardy ficus in my experience. If you prune it . Always leave some green on it. And they love to put out huge potato roots😂 but they are fun to work with. Have infact a benjamina forest on the go. With a jeep 🚙 in the middle. And if can ask. How are you doing at the time? Have you got any more news from the doctors?

🔪Sweet blade my man🗡️

might as well have stolen them at that price. can't get an empty 4" nursery pot for that much. looks like they turned out good. i have found these trees to be very fussy but really rewarding. fast growers too.
