Hi Tony, tks as always for your videos. We see you in wheelchair and casted elbow, I hope everything goes well. All our support and recognition for devoting time to us
Cheers Tony! Sorry, been missing in action lately. Had to try and write something. lol. Not that it happened, but I'm back to my trees (my passion) now. You're looking well, my friend, good to see you again. Also, bonsai goes and grows, doesn't it brother? Rock on my man!
Oh how i long for the green rolling hills and wide open growing spaces of the homeland😉 You have some very nice tree's growing on that plot Tony, particularly liked the last tree you showed. Great stuff
Cheers Scott. That hawthorn is a bit of a beauty mate. When it eventually goes into a pot, the nebari will look pretty special too if I recall correctly.
those beech trees look lovely Tony. In Auckland the soil is clay, so we have to plant ours in a raised bed full of topsoil - a trick I use is to pot them in one of those bread trays (with a big handful of slow release fertilizer mixed in) then after a few years once they've thickened up you can cut around the tray to lift them in situ. Envious of those beeches though, much harder to grow over here than when i was back in london!
Nice taper and movement. I like the fluted Hawthorn tree; it's got heaps of character and will be a lovely tree now you're starting to develop the top. Thanks for the video mate.
Awesome stuff Tony! Some absolutely gorgeous movement and taper happening in all your trees. Have a serious lust for that fluted hawthorn - just love how those veins thicken and sometimes twist as the tree grows. Very envious of your spacious growing area. My trees are planted cheek to jowl in my caged 'veggie patch'. Great for top growth, but lower development suffers (until I cull the heard...)
If they’re in their first year they can cope with a bit of root handling at this time of year and planting if they aren’t in direct sun. If they’re filling a pot though and a bit older I’d say leave till the coming spring before the leaves bloom. When planting you’re best to radially spread the roots or use the ebihara method to spread the base either in the ground or a grow box Tony may say different though!
Hi Tony: I'm so glad you are still making videos! I'm a Bonsai beginner and this video of yours ("Bonsai trunks too thin? - do these 6 things") from about a year ago was one of the very first Bonsai videos I ever watched. Needless to say I became an immediate fan of yours! How come your latest trunk thickening video doesn't include the 'Tony's Bonsai fusion method'? czcams.com/video/oguBZTLaWQ0/video.html

So long as you keep watering them, your trees should do ok and they'll be there for you mate
I needed to understand these tips, much appreciated Tony
Excellent tips Tony and to add one other thing, to get a thicker trunk, you need patience. It takes time and doesnt happen over night.
Great point. Leaving them alone is a key ingredient
Those are gorgeous trees, Tony 😍 Thanks for sharing your wisdom Bonsai Wisperer 🙏😘 Enjoy your day. 🤗 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
Thanks Martina. Today's what it's all about it 🙂

That yamadori looks great fella 👍👍
I’m a cheater so I place my potted trees on the ground and let the roots escape into the ground. Fantastic results. Thanks, keep growing.

Great video Tony. Love that hawthorn my second fav variety of tree
Well done Tony, what's with the sling bud?
Hi Kevin. I've got a broken collar bone following a fall and the sling helps me with the pain during the day
Thanks mate, good information. How are you keeping up...?!? Lots of respect ❤
Cheers Bart. I'm declining but relatively slowly. Hopefully I'm good for a bit yet
@@TonysBonsai as long as possible...
It takes 10 - 20 years to grow a decent trunk, by far the biggest time sink in developing things from scratch.
I love the “fluting” on that nebari! His info my friend.
Great stuff mate. Great video for beginners. You are good teacher. And let's not forget patience
Good video and you've got sum cracking potential there😊 keep growing.xx
Love it
Good material there, Tony

Tony may say different though!
Good advice thank you I agree
Keep posting content Tony
That's a usefull video Xav!
In regards to the first tree you are looking at, once the trunk is thick enough to your desire where do you chop it down to when you want to pot it?
Hi Tony. On the hawthorne, did you do anything to encourage that root spread?
