Well I dont earn Netflix money - even if I did what would that do for me.

Sounds nice. I usually drink Chrysanthemum tea in the evening

@@peterchan3100 You may remember it's usually a coffee start on a Sunday for many of us fans, but I'm always open to new experiences 🙏

Good morning! I'd normally start on coffee but after being concerned about my blood pressure I've decided to go decaff tea :) All the best to you guys and your health

@@Stettafire Oddly, that may be the greater part of my choice too 😉

Wonderful meeting you and Yoshie the other day - Glad you like my updated book. Always nice to get feedback from fans especially positive feedback.

I just placed an order for two copies 😊 Thank you for the heads up! I didn’t know they were already available !

@@noumine We had 90 advance copies - the 1000 copies earmarked for the nursery are stuck at the docks - Thanks to BREXIT getting things from Europe is a nightmare !!! Please bear with us and sorry for the delay.

@@peterchan3100 No worries. If I may be bold enough to ask for you to please sign them for me, it would make me sooo very happy, grateful and appreciative. -from Minnesota :D

@@noumine Copies to the USA are sent direct from our distributor so I won't be able to sign. Only if you visit the nursery can I sign the book for you. I am so sorry.

I will try and source some for next year.

Hope you can visit us one day.

Thank you for your comment 👍

Practice, practice, practice

Thank you Joe.

Send some pics to our office

Its almost like a heart transplant in human terms.

Dont take off the wire too soon and Yes if you visit the UK I will give you a free lesson in wiring etc

Who says that ?? - You can prune any time of the year.

Just keep it pot bound. I have seen a couple of nice ones as bonsai in my travels.

Yes but not in a warm room.

Some plants from seed are not as strong.

Yes you can. Just go on to our Herons Bonsai website and order. They are shipped all over the world from our distributor in Germany.

@@peterchan3100 Done. Thank you!

If you grow from seed then the resulting plant will be subject to genetic variation so is not 100% guaranteed to exhibit the exact same characteristics of either parent plants even if the seed is said to "come true". Think of the child of a black man and a white woman - the child is neither 100% black nor 100% white... However, if plants are propagated from cuttings or by grafting then the characteristics are 100% guaranteed since you would be making genetic clones of the parent plant. Grafting is just a method for fusing a cutting (otherwise known as a scion in grafting terms) to a compatible rootstock to produce a single plant. The general rules for compatibility are that both plants (scion and rootstock) must be from the same botanical species or family of plants. Why use a different rootstock? Simple, the rootstock can be chosen so that it confers properties like drought tolerance, disease resistance, vigour etc that is not present in the scion to the scion. Grafted plants also have this property called precocity (ie maturity) that will allow it to bear flowers and form seeds at an earlier age than a plant grown from seed. Also, cuttings taken from some plants may not readily produce roots so, in those cases, grafting may be a more suitable way of propagating them.

It's done to help the tree. Normally a less robust tree is grated onto a vigorous rootstock that will cope with local climate better. Sometimes though I think it's overdone

No, we're ladies, thank you
