What is the best time to make large cuts?

Huh ?

Bill - I am so sorry for your loss. I truly cannot imagine losing a child. Thank you for sharing your heart about the loss of your daughter. Many hospice programs also offer community bereavement groups and services to those who have suffered a loss, irrespective of how or where it occurred.

Filming, editing and content on a par with National Geographic. You captured what spurs me on in this hobby.

We dont need your stupid music

You are the Dr. Frankenstein of bonsai, my friend

Man, put your dog inside

A lot of work, nice job. What soil mix are you using?

Hi Bill, we haven’t met except by me watching your CZcams Videos. Your Cypress collecting caught my eye since they were one of my first attempts at Bonsai in 1978. I worked at Imahara’s Nursery in Baton Rouge which was the home of the local Bonsai club. I came about one of the cypress the club collected and with the help of the club started what you all call a flat top. Unfortunately I moved to Washington State after graduating LSU and my trees fell into decline / death one by one. Your video’s have re-inspired me to get back into Bonsai and Yamadorie collecting after a 40 year hiatus. My wife and I were in Palma Mallorca Spain last week where we saw centuries old olive trees. I jokingly told my wife if Bayou Bill saw this tree he would have a come along strap on it, and it would be half out of the ground before I could get my digging shovel in the ground. I would love to give you a shout when I am down in New Orleans visiting family sometimes. Most importantly, My sympathies for your loss and appreciate your heart felt message. I encourage you keep putting one foot in front of the other. I heard a lot of love in your voice for your lost child and hope you can find your way back to your God given talent for Bonsai. I will be praying for you and your family Dan George

You should have more subscriptions than just 2.45k...... you have some good insights on BC....I'm from Houma, LA..... Just collected my first BC last month (legally)

Excellent video series and beautiful tree. As a fellow Catholic bonsai enjoyer I appreciate the fitting name. Thanks from Southwest Florida!

just subscribed and this is the second video i watch from you. Im so sorry for your loss hope you and the rest of the family are doing well. God bless

Nice forest

How about a quick update of this forest? Even just a minute or two so we can see what it looks like now? Pretty please!

Horroroso

Can I put my new balled cypres under grow lights 24houres a day to speed grouth

Just watched bald cypress bonsai forest from six years ago. Wow that was a lot of work but just amazing. Keep up the good work.

Great Video!'🌲👍

Yo would you be willing to chat to a new bc addict about taking care of these guys outside of their natural habitat? I've been on a deep dive into researching and I'm getting allot of conflicting info. Figure best thing is to go to a source of solid experience.

Hey Bill, it was nice meeting you in Denver this weekend and again thanks for the shirt. o/

Que descubrimiento tu canal, suscrito y like, gracias por compartir 👍

Can you help me properly identify my swamp tree when you get back?

Thanks for sharing. Interesting ideas on deadwood.

Great to see you back👍

Have a great time in Denver. I love bald cypress!

Thanks for the insight on dead wood!

Great video bill... amazing....

Been wondering where you’ve been. Glad to see you’re still at it. I see Nigel was glad you turned up too. Thanks for the vid.

Love the videos Bill!!!

The trees you have are amazing. You inspire me to try a flat top bald cypress.

Dont know where you are located but if ever in central florida and wanting to collect another bald cypress for a bondai or help someone locate one to collect please let me know. Would also love to document (film/photograph) it! I really want to collect a bald cypress myself and not purchase one for my collection. Im still pretty new to bonsai.

Bonjour...je vous suis depuis quelques temps...j'aimerais savoir si en Europe ont peut trouver dans des vendeurs spécialisés des cyprès des Marais car j'adore cet Arbre....merci

Update please!!!

I love this. Thanks bill

That’s a great looking Forrest. I’m about to make my own Tanuki rock planting with baby sequoia trees, complete with stone steps a cave a slide and swing. I was looking for Muck mixes and came across your channel so you’ve been helpful in your knowledge my friend. Just subscribed 👍👍

Back for another take. This video is amazing. I have a Montezuma forest in an oval pot with no hole. Seems to work perfect. And now another forest planting on a slab. Thing is there is no mud dam and now I have roots poking out of the edges. The whole thing is almost at the point where it can be lifted up. I plan on putting about 1cm soil under it. I realize your not used to such juvenile material. But any suggestions? Also what about the pond cypress Taxodium ascendens? I'm the guy with that huuuge wooden bowl. Still done nothing with it. Perhaps I never will as its still attached to a stump on the tree.

would you feed that tree with whiskey or kerosene?

Good to see ya Bill!

Merry Christmas Bill and friends!!!

Bill, do you have an email I could contact you at?

Lost my older brother when I was 13 to liver disease in 2000. I get it. You never go back to what you were, but I can say it does get better with time. I feel you loss. You're not alone. God bless.

Awesome brother great job and thanks for your time and expertise!🙏

I wish you and your family peace and comfort.

I’ve had my bald cypress bonsai for at least 5 maybe 6 years now, bought as a tiny twig of a starter… The entire time I’ve kept it in a fish tank under at least 12 inches of water, year round 24/7, with a gold fish to eat mosquitoes… I’ve chopped it 3 times, it’s about 5.5inches diameter at the base, always grows a new straight leader. I want it to grow some of the “knees” they are known to get in nature, I believe I read the knees are grown to get air, so I keep my tree under water in hopes knees grow… I’m about to take it to my new place and add it to my turtle pond, planted in gravel in a pot to contain the roots. It should help keep the water cleaner too, in the growing season anyways…

When is the next Bonsai on the Bayou

great process with this tree Bill . got the hots for bald cypress recently. i live in Israel so we dont have many of them , and they are scarse in nurseries too. did manage to purchase a few , now experimenting with multiple airlayers on a single trunk. thanks for the inspiration, Yonatan

amazing idea! that looks awesome

Don't get out of the boat. Seriously. My canoe got stuck in Algonquin park and I ended up to my neck in mud. Great video and theme.

This is new to me. Beautiful trees, and makes me miss the swamp
