When you see Nigel for so long you almost say Zombie Apocalypse at the same time. Priceless.

That Lemon tree sure has a nice shape! It is quite a sight to behold. Enjoyed watching you work on this little citrus.

It's hard to style the branches of citrus trees in bonsai. But their trunks look great! I love them.

Thank you 😊

Sometimes when you start talking about a branch, I know you're about to say: "I think I'm going to take it off" :D

My parents have a 40 year old orange tree in a large pot. In the winter time they didn't do anything special with it. Literally just had it sit on a stool by a window in the dining room. My experience with citrus trees is that you can literally just keep them indoors in the winter at around room temperature and treat them as you would if it were spring or summer. They will still thrive. Their native habitats have far warmer winters than upstate new york, other northern states or Canada...

I will post my bonsai lemon tree in a couple day. This looks amazing

Thanks for going into so much detail about the structure of this Lemon. It really gives me great ideas.

Nice job pruning on the lemon. Try a 0-5-1 for getting the lemon to bloom. There is a bloom boost, 0-50-0 and that gets the hardest to bloom. With this, the lemon should bloom in winter. That is what mine do. A bit crazy, but for the North, that is what it does. At least for me. Try a higher middle number though for blooming.

Hi Nigel can't wait for ficus Friday's

Whoa! She sure responded great from the winter pruning! This is fantastic! I took a ton of notes yet again. I’m a couple seasons behind you, so I sure appreciate this.

Watching your videos really reminds me of some of the basics in a sort of outside the box way that inspires me. Great trees, Great video. Thanks Nigel!

👍👌👌

Lemon tree coming right along... 👍

Cuteness overload 😍😂

Very beautiful bark on those trees! I will have to grow from seed. Nursery citrus are $70 - 280 ish here. As soon as you rubbed off those buds the sirens went, I was like, Oh no! They're coming for you now! LOL

Lookin Good Nigel!

Has🎉

Great video, Nigel!

Finally, I am up to date with all your videos (been watching them chronologically starting from the very first)! And this particular lemon tree is exactly what brought me to your channel in the first place. 😅 I was browsing yt for citrus trees pruning ideas and there it was: The Bonsai Zone. Greetings from Poland! ❤

When to repot lemon tree to bonsai training pot? I have a lemon tree about one inch thick trunk. I want to turn it into a bonsai. Last fall I trunk, chopped it, leaving 9 inches on the trunk. It leafed out well. I live in North Alabama USA and do not have a greenhouse. It’s in a large 18-20 inch pot. I want to reduce into a oil pan at this stage. Right now we have 90° days in 70° nights.

@16:35 not sure if they are soil gnats or aphids, but looks like you have some critters, Nigel.

The weather can be very fickle this time of year. Where I am at we had a high of 83f or around 25c yesterday's high was more like 51f or 6c.

Looks very nice, is this a Kaffir Lemon ?

Interesting, the leaves are coming out segmented, with two sections, looks more like my grapefruit tree instead of a lemon trees.

hey Nigel odd question beside using the 20-20-20 have ever thought bout using root rescue?

I have noticed that scale insects seem to be a large yearly winter issue. Have you ever considered using a systematic insectide for the winter?

Hi Nigel, do you fertilize the same way the entire year period?

I respect the fact that you don't wire your trees but man I wish you could hear me screaming put some wire on that branch don't cut it hehehehe
