Asome video dude every time I watch one of your videos i get so confused at why THERE IS SO LITTLE VEIWS

Apple is so hard to work with, everytime i try to grow one from seed it keep getting mildew or struggle from rust. Mostly from bad stock.

Very pretty and natural shape. Its great that you can keep buds close to the trunk - this is a struggle on some of my crab apples, which makes pruning back challenging. I hope you get another flush of leaves this year - they always look so vibrant when they come out. If not, there are plenty of leaves to power the tree through to winter.

Good stuff, brother. Really love this series.

Im doing it in saudi wish me luck its 4 years old

Strong growing apple fo sho. Lots of good branches already. Cheers broski

Another great video, Ian!

Dope willow Broski. Not sure how i missed this last week 😅🍺🍺cheers

Really enjoying the series. Started growing my own here in Eastern Cape South Africa because they were freely available everywhere. Only 4 months in but its already growing like crazy even through the winter. Any other African trees you might want to grow?

Your willow reminds me of one of my cats - beautiful, independent, and absolutely strong willed! You have the patience of a saint! Growth looks really good this year. Fingers crossed lol!

У меня тоже появилась фуксия Думаю из нее бонсай формировать

One of my least favorite trees. My inlaws have them and they are always a mess. I swear they seldom look good with any regularity. They had a big one in their front yard when it FINALLY was looking healthy, it got hit with a bad ice storm and broke apart. I said chop that ugly weed down and be done with weeping willows. I applaud you for attempting one as a bonsai, but I say plant that thing in the woods and walk away from it! 😛 Someone here said they are moody plants and that is spot on. Look at it cross eyed and it will look like hell for the next year just to spite you! No thanks!

Willows are very thirsty trees, are you sure it’s getting enough water?

She responded well to the chop. Giving quite a few options going forward. Developing nicely, good sir.

If it starts to dry up/to die then roots are the problem usually, not enough air, pots is too small, or it's too wet. Either way, you need more air for the roots and more space.

Willows absolutely are very moody plants, sometimes they keep all of their branches and the next year, they almost kill off half of their whole mass. I took a brittle willow cutting last year, I'm hoping I can turn that one into something interesting.

How do you deal with pests? I’ve got a problem with caterpillars living in mine and eating leaves 😩

The roots were wild!!! Always nice to have a citrus hanging around. Developing nicely broski. Cheers 😎🍺🍺

Since you can't wire them could you wrap the stem and soak it to soften the stem to then shape it?

Very pretty! The lemon tree is bouncing back nicely after the repot and hard pruning. Nice to see all the new options coming up. The leaves remind me of laurel a bit, but then there are those thorns...

Nice tree!

I've been told that yellow leaves on lemon trees is a sign of fertilizer deficiency....

You’re developing quite the structure, good sir. I’m diggin it.

Very nice! What soil mix do you use?

Foist

After soaking the soil per the instructions, do I have to continue to water it daily during the 2 week and 6 week fridge period?

Loved this ficus series. Can’t wait for the next one as you continue to development. Great job.

Oh I am SO excited! I found you by randomly looking up if I could turn a lemon tree from seed into a bonsai, I have one about 2 months old, called Ferdinand! He’s quite mighty. I also saved a sycamore seedling that popped up in my planter on the balcony, from the massive tree outside; I did think secretly ‘what if I try a bonsai’, not knowing there’s a whole world out there! Will definitely do it, he’s still young! I shall call him Humphfrey! I think they respond well to being given identities, Ferdinand has a name tag on the pot, I talk about him to my husband as if he was a pet (to the point I was telling him once, worried that I had forgotten Ferdinand out in the rain while we had gone out, the lady next to us accused me of animal cruelty:)) ) PS: I hardly know anything about bonsai but honestly sir, skimmed over your channel, I think I prefer the look of your trees as I could tell the honest work, process and actual response the creatures give, for me the perfect bonsais seem overly manicured PPS: also based in London, even more excited to follow your advice!

Cool little pomegranate. You've inspired me to start my own from a store bought pom. They are 2 years old this summer and I've clumped 5 of them together hoping to fuse as you've done. The leaves are surprisingly a decent size considering I got the seed from a regular size pomegranate.

I've just watched the whole series of videos. Shows the importance of documenting the progress. Great tree.

How high do you place your grow light

Shaping out to be a very pretty tree. I didn't realize that you could fuse pomegranate. I really love the composition - should take right off this summer. Repot again in 2 yrs?

Where should your root base grow, above the bottle or below ?

This is a new tree to me. I don't believe I've finished editing anything long form on it, know I've filmed it 😅. How cold do it get for you? I haven't found much over wintering info for my area, we get to -30 regularly, -45c isn't unheard of. If I remember right the tag said only 10c?

She has that bottle top just about filled in completely. I’m diggin it, Ian. I am curious how you’ll cut the plastic off. That’s gonna be tight

Looks like it’s fusing well Ian. Great project. Thanks, keep growing

I collected a Downey Birch from the forest I walk in, planted it in my back garden.. Will keep an eye on it for a year or so, but this video had given me inspiration to give birch ago, as apparently they not the easiest to bonsai.. great video and thank you from Cork

Foistski 😊

Intense repot for sure - I bet the roots will really benefit from this hard work and the foliage is so vibrant again. I love how this tree looks like a beautiful large orchard apple - the scaling in incredible!

She is looking great, brother! Fantastic job of patiently bringing it along.

Do you expect any fruits in any of the upcoming years?

I see that you also have hard water (scale forms), the traces are visible on the trunk base. Do you have any method to remove these traces from the base of the trunk?

Any chance you know what species of Cotoneaster it is?? The tree is coming along great!

Im sure the plant is much happier now, thankyou

Frequent repot in the early years can help...

Could you tie a string around the lower root plane? That would maybe prevent them from taking over and insentivise the tree to put more energy in the upper roots

Hell yeh Broski. That repot was an epic battle scene. This tree looks like the perfect miniature apple with those berries coming in red. Dope. Cheers 😎🍺🍺
