    Now that is a cool way to get the willow to weep. I will have to give it a try. Always learning no matter what our age. Cool!!!

    Hi Nigel. You inspire me to keep improving my own trees. I noticed a little misconception about Bougainvillea in your videos they aren't all vines. The purple, white and pink ones grow like any other kind of tree. I'm from Brazil and this tree is a native of my country and we call it "Primavera" that means spring. My city Poços de Caldas have a really really tall specimen of a purple one in a central square. They are commonly planted on sidewalks throughout the city.
    On the other hand red bougainvillea is a vine that we usually use to decorate the front walls.
    Sorry about my English isn't my first language. Thanks for your attention. Keep growing!

      This is really interesting!!! Thanks for clearing that up!! I'll have to research the Bougainvillea better!!

  • @growclipbonsaiforseniors1951

    Nice idea with the black background. See if Michael can get a pumice rock. Now he will be amazed at what the roots do with the rock. Just a thought on that.

    What an amazing backyard!!! I just want to sit with my feet in the pool and some fruity little cocktail!!! And then the COLLECTION!!! OMG! What an assortment of gorgeous trees!! What a treat! Thank you Nigel, I really enjoyed this tour very,very much! I now have a few more trees on my wish list! And I just love how you do tours! I love how you explain what each tree is and your commentary is always so positive and uplifting! I wish I lived close as I would love to join your club. Thank you to Michael for allowing this tour to happen. Does he have a channel?? Thanks again Nigel and I look forward to the next one.

    Beautiful Tree's and an amazing backyard Oasis! Michael how do you maintain your Portulacaria through the winter in Canada. How often are you watering ... I find the ports really suffer when brought inside for the winter, but yours appear to be absolutely thriving!

    Hi Nigel. Can you tell me what kind of evergreen (not a bonsai) that is at the 17 minute mark, next to the tiger bark ficus? I was just given one of those but I don't know what it is.

    • @TheBonsaiZone

      I'm not sure, I tried to find the tree, but I couldn't see any at 17?

    What are the QR codes that Michael has on all of his trees out of curiosity?

      He keeps track of the trees, it tells him when the were repotted and more!!
