I have new gifts from Barb and Gavin! Today I'm pruning my Lychee (Litchi chinensis) tree, my Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), my Lemon tree, my Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia), my Mesquite (Prosopis) trees and my Poplar (Populus) trees.
I also think about spooky Halloween style trees!
Check out Gavin's KZfaq channel "Not Another Bonsai Channel with Gavin Thorpe" here....

Fantastic book. I recently bought one (English edition) from a Bonsai friend met on Facebook. One amazing thing about the Bonsai hobby is the community of lovely people who eagerly help each other whenever they can. 💚

Excellent Nigel and it's great to see that the little parcel reached you safe and sound. It'll be great having you as part of the NABC Halloween Challenge, let's see what you can come up with 👻👻

Some nice old word looking spooky forests you showed. Great work pruning in the rain with great sound effects with the rain dancing on the glass of the greenhouse. Now that is class.

Whahaha, was laughing so hard about that listing of "Not Another Bonsai Channel", epic! Gavin is such a warm person... He has given me loads of pointers to set up my own channel, which might get it's first bonsai video very soon. Will be a (small, because balcony) bench tour. Nice video, as usual, tnx!

definitely the old apple tree!

@Bonsaifriend2020 10 күн бұрын

Agreed. Nothing is as scary as the decay on that tree and perhaps finding maggots in your apple

Great video, Nigel. Gift book from Gavin is really great, it was one of my first books it is really nicely done, a piece of history.

Hey Nigel, hows your old apple tree doing? It could possible be a scary tree??

Your old apple tree with the dead trunk looks pretty scary to me :)

I've always thought your Nightshade looked like a hand reaching up from the ground. Perhaps that would make a good spooky tree! You could put it on a nice bed of moss with a tombstone next to it. Then just disrupt the area around the base a bit so it looks like it's breaking through the ground. Instant spooky tree diorama! Love the channel!

I have a good Hallowe'en tree that I've grown from seed. It's a weeping Mulberry and without the leaves, you can see that I grew it in the shape of a strange looking heart. I have some black modeling clay and plan to make two tiny ravens to perch in the tree together. Cheers, Nigel!

Hi, Nigel! One more good Videostory from you! Here in Ukraine black locust(Robinia) trees are often(by sites of city i live) being invaded by some little brilliant(shiny green) flyes. They are born from the seeds. The times i have tryed to grow from seeds(that kind of trees) i has fails. When place fathered seeds in a glass jar, tightly closed for some time - flyes come to be born. Cant tell time period. It was not traced carefully

Great Gifts! Quite the rain Eh! Have you looked at the Apple for Halloween? We went to 23C in the gravel pit today! I was able to wear a Tshirt! I need to get my water bins up and filled!

@erikzellers2925 13 күн бұрын

You could make a scary tree with a tree that is unusually heathy looking that looks like it was planted over a gravestone. And it if happens to have a scaring that looks like a face . . . or tuck a decaying corpse under some exposed roots. That wouldn't require actually altering any of your trees.

Sidenote: Those trees are very hard to get rid off once established: If in trouble (and sometimes just on occasion), they sprout numerous new trees from their roots, which can reach quite a distance. Be careful when planting one in your garden.

Native Texan and Texas A&I grad. Kingsville, Texas has lots of Mesquite trees. You might want to make a google maps visit to campus and then wander on S University from Santa Gertrudis to King. The older mesquite trees get torqued and pushed by hurricanes. This causes them to grow parallel to the ground and then up. It makes a nice bench but watch out for ants in your pants. 🐜

Hey Nigel I have the same book by Harry Tomlinson. It’s a great reference book. PS can’t wait for a ‘wiring’ video 😆

@ndungus 18 сағат бұрын

If u watch Nigel long enough you will know 'Wiring' is NOT Nigel's style of training a bonsai. He said it himself in one of his posts in the past.

@hsvfanjan17 13 күн бұрын

That's what you get when you train your bonsai to be gracefully and elegant: no scary trees! But I imagine with some great set up lighting some of your trees definitely can look scary. Perhaps even some trees with spikes could be very scary!

@mmjnice97 11 күн бұрын

I think your buck thorn would be a good Candidate for a scary looking tree it's black with kinda S sparse branch structure.
