Great to see Jay in action. Great little workshop. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much, Nigel, for this video, so enriching, wow ! 👍🌿

Wow that is some fantastic barberry material! My goodness what I wouldn’t do for one of those

Wow those barberies look so old, what a fun evening

Connor has the best laugh

Reat video Nigel! I was at the nursery a few weeks ago. Such amazing material at great prices. Best part it's close to me! Great seeing everyone!

Honestly so fun!!

Looks like great stock at that nursery Connor was bragging about! I dig how involved he was getting with the other members, sketching designs and all. That’s pretty cool. And always nice to see BlueJay smiling in front of the camera again.

Another awesome video! Really great to see so many possibilities with the same variety of tree. Wish I had a bonsai group near me to go and learn with. Thank you so much for all the great content and inspiration.

Nice workshop 🌲🪴

Good to see Jay!!

Great KW workshop and gathering of bonsai enthusiasts. Loved the barberry; beautiful! Chris Henry’s selection of bonsai goodies was very tempting! Thanks. 🌿🌿🌿💫

Amazing nursery stock. So mature already! Interesting that it is an invasive species in North America. In my area (Germany) you can see Barberry regularly as hedge plants but fortunately I have never seen them in the wild here.

Thanks!

👍👌👌

We should start a bronze style Saunders root rake trend....

It would be so fun to visit the nurseries you have in your area. I don't think we have a ton of bonsai nurseries here in Minnesota.

WOW!!! Those Barberry are absolutely AMAZING! Connor is doing amazing! He started fairly shy and unsure. You can really see he is much more confident now. Can hear in his voice that he is more comfortable in front of crowds. So good at what he does there. Nigel... Where is your tree?! I love the fun banter among friends! Thank you so much for this!

That cover photo is hilarious lol😅

I imagine if someon enters the room while everyone is brushing their trees with toothbrushes they'd be quite confused... :) Anyways, that looks like a good species for bonsai!

Good afternoon, Nigel

As usual, another great bonsai gathering. Wonderful tree material. I am so envious of both the material and the bonsai goodies. NOT available in Boise. Only on line. Sigh. And the club is filled with kind, funny people who are like minded. Thanks for filming all this, it is quite the vicarious experience. Its good to see Jay and to get sort of reacquainted with the faces of the KW club. Thanks!!!!

I didn't see YOUR Barberry tree, Nigel... :)

Watch your fingers, people! 😘

Boy, I wish my club was half as fun and well attended as the KW club. No pots. No soil. No youth! And sadly, no Nigel!

Hey Nigel, I really enjoy when you video your workshops. I have watched the one on potentilla several times, and I think my second go at one of those trees is going well. I cut too much off the first tree. I belong to the MN Bonsai Society.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing this event with us. 😊🌲🌳🌴🌵👍 BUT bayberry have a reputation for being tick magnets.

I sure wish I had a club like that here, closest one of any size is 4hrs away..... Suppose I could start one myself...I wonder what that would take to accomplish properly...? Guess I'm learning about club beginnings today, thanks Nigel! What a great group of folks, and some great nursery stock!! Wow.❤

Suburb material, what is the long term planting plan for these. I lost two I purchased last fall and potted in the spring. I don't want to relive that again. I 'll plan a visit to this nursery after the fall TBS show.

Nigel, thanks for sharing. Is there a website or contact for the club vendor who was selling pots and soil? I’m in GTA, and could use some supplies.

i have a couple burbery trees one has bark like the ones you guys have and two with almost dead white bark,, not sure the type of ethier havent given much thought i guess

Hi are you able to say where bluejay bonsai got his root rake that is similar to your one from as I have been looking for one a few year now and do you know if I would be able to order one online from that place? Thank you very much I appreciate it a lot.

Lol Some may still think of it as a weird cult!!! I predict next April first, you'll be spraying your trees with "mouthwash".😋

Can you slow down back budding on barberry

I have a Barberry in my garden and, my god, it is the spikiest monster I know of. Beautiful red leaves and nice berries, but full of hard and very sharp spikes. I remember what a painful job it was to transplant it to its present place. Will not move it any time soon.👿
