very nice! one tip: don't give up when it doesn't show signs of live/growth after the first sprouting after repotting. it can take very long to bounce back to it's full vigour. i had 2 lemon trees that sprouted new shoots right after repotting and then frozen for approx. 2-4 months. then suddenly... yeah there it goes again :D ..if you didn't have that experience already :)

I would like to see the progress of your bonsai. You do not have a video of the progress of your work and it leaves me with doubt if your method really worked

I’ve been watching Nigel Saunders for years and I have to say, that due to that, I’m spoiled regarding the rootwork. So many don’t care about that important step. Glad, you’re following Nigel’s example. Keep up the good work.

Amazing video Scott!! and what a good looking tree you made it,....looking forward to it's progress 😊 Off to part 2 👍💖😊

Really awesome Scott, great work!

So relaxing to watch a tree get a haircut. Hope your lemon tree is doing good!

That was nice work Scott, I really enjoyed this video from beginning to end ! Looks like Peter's keeping you busy ! lol, cute little guy.

I got a twin seedling (3 days old) from the lemon seed, one of them is going to be a beautiful bonsai tree 😁😁😅 loved the detailed video. It was sooo relaxing to watch..

Good Job Scott. I'm looking for a Meyer Lemon tree for my collection as well. If the leaves were in good health one can use them in some special cooking applications. I encountered this in Italy last fall. Nice video Scott.

Pesky little buggers!! But I agree .. won’t hurt it a bit!!! I noticed when you first started cleaning the branches.. how dirty the water was getting!! I can imagine how nasty it was at the end!! Great video!!!

Ah you look like Nigel handling them there roots

One thing to note. the black "sap" is actually a fungus that grows on the discharge of a type of sucking insect often called scale insect due to the fact that they resemble small scales on the stems and leaves. Plus if you are planning to do any pruning, it would save work to do the pruning before washing the mold off the branches then you only need to worry about the stems you leave on the tree.

I adore your video!!! Thank you very much!!!

Great job Scott. And like the Jades I can't wait for an update when stuff starts to pop out.

Hope all is well scott really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

We need an update on these tree's....🤔

I would like to make the bonsai of the lemon or another fruit tree

Great work Scott. Looks like it’s off to a great start. I’m just watching for the first time. I hope it survived. I just planted one of my own down here in Florida. So far so good. Thanks, keep growing

Fruit fly trap. Get a jar fill 25% with Apple cider vinegar (can be diluted with water), poke holes in lid with a screw driver. Set in a corner near the area. Flies will go in but can't get out.

Have you tried neem oil for your white flies? I just had an issue with the same flies and it seems to be working pretty well :) love this video!! Thank you!

It's been 13 months - wondering how this lemon tree did? I've not had luck starting a tree yet, when I trimmed roots that far! Seems like a HARD repotting for that guy. Any updates?? btw -love your videos!

Nice job! Love root pruning videos, that's my favourite part too. Did it smell nice when cutting the leaves? Tempted to find a citrus myself now! 🍊

I like your watering system. anything that keeps plastic out of the waste stream is a good thing. would that fit an empty soda bottle as well?

Peter!!! Lol. A little more lively than my old muts. 😂😂😎 Great video my friend. I love working with citrus for the aromas...and try to ignore the stabbing thorns.

Hi Scott, thanks for this video! What is in your opinion, the best soil to use for this kind of tree? I'm planning to start a bonsai from my mini lemon tree but as a beginner I would't kill my little tree by choosing the wrong soil. Thanks

Anyone else notice the ghostly broom moving on its own at 8'05''?

Nice demonstration 👍

Thank you very instructive.

Pete scared the crap out of me, the video is so quiet and peaceful, and suddenly @47:00 shriek!!!

After seeing this video I went and checked my three lemon which sprouted last spring and my lime tree which was purchased a year ago and what did I find? White flies and little black speckles on the underside of about 1/5 of the leaves. The ones on bunches I simply cut off, and others I scrubbed with soapy water. After a good rinse and hour of drying, I sprayed the underside of the leaves with Neem Oil which apparently nukes the flies. I’m not sure if this is the same issue as they have in the UK But here in SoUthern California we’ve got this fly that spreads a fungus that causes the leaves to curl up and will eventually kill the tree. It would be easy to remedy were it not for every neighbor on the block having at least one citrus tree, many of them neglected.

Should we remove all the leaves?? Will fruits grow?

When is the best time of the year to bonsai a lemon tree?

Can i also do this right now or should i wait till spring

Did you find out what those tiny bulbs were that were growing in the soil?

Hi, any update on this lemon tree?

Hi Scott, the reason why Nigel’s video is so popular is because many people are trying to grow lemon trees in pots in USA and his video has been shared quite a few times on different forums on “how difficult is to grow one in a pot and look how others massacre their little lemon tree to create a bonsai”.

멋진 영상 너무 잘보고 갑니다😀😀👍👍

Hi Scott, i have a nursery lemon tree which is a little smaller than yours, looks pretty healthy and is in flower. When would be the best time/season to start the bonsai process? I am a bit of a newbie btw.

What is your soil mixture?

When growing from seed how long would you recommend waiting before pruning and repotting? Right now I have four seedlings growing nicely, only about 3 months old now though...

Is there a special time to defoliate or do the repoting? Or can I do it whenever I want and it will grow back? And can you defoliate or cut back as much branches as I want or does there need to be a ratio between how much root and brnaches I cut? And after I repot and defoliate does it need to get full light (of course while making sure to water enough)? And will it produce fruit in the bonsai soil or what would I need to do? Thanks in advance!

What mix of soil is that?

I really don't think rinsing the soapy water off is necessary; it may be even more helpful to leave it on. I spray my plants with soapy water and hydrogen peroxide with a bit of baking soda. By rinsing it off, I'm partly defeating the purpose I had in mind by spraying it on. Don't get me wrong, this is a great video!

I'm in Florida and I've killed any orange trees and lemon trees I had. I have a huge meyer lemon and a huge navel orange, but don't bonsai them well. I'll give it another try.

Those tiny things look like crocuses. Did you find out what they were? They do remind me of my tiny saffrons.

dont want to sound too harsh but it probably died!defoliation should be done on a healty established tree and you choped way to many roots for the first training the tree got.did it survive?

How is this tree looking right now?

4 yrs later and I still did not get flowers and fruit. What does it take to make it happen?

what time of the year do you suggest doing this?

Which lemon type is this?

What type of bonsai soil is white? I've never seen that before.

Awesome work! How is it doing now?

✌️🌴🏴‍☠️

Nice Intro keep going ;)

what exactly is that is that bonsai soil? looks like gravel ... i just started a lemon seed like a month or so ago. right now and probably all this summer i think just leave in dirt cuz its only a seedling with three leaves on it ... but I'm guessing next year ill start thinking of moving it in another container. this is the first time for me so I'm kinda playing it by ear

:)
