Hello Nigel, can we have an update on the tamarix? Am curious to see how it looks now. :)
Your hair grows just as good as your Bonsai!
Bonsai Talk I've always said that he is the Bob Ross of bonsai. much love Nigel
I have the Lingnan Clip and grow hairstyle!
Thanks Meat!
thanx meat!
Meat Sandwich hehe
Nigel, you're so good, even your watering can grows!
Thanks!
Lol n1
Yay! New video from Nigel! I look forward to this every time I see a new posting!!
Thanks, lots more coming!
You really took your editing and production up like 12345342 notches
Thanks, hopefully not into the over produced level!
Nigel Saunders oh no you could even go more. U have a while til u get there this is perfect
Nigel dada.Its me again.what a lovely mini bonsai that is.I love it.
Thank you, I'm looking forward to the future of this tree!
Very nice transition! I like your new scissors ...I have the same scissors and Im sure you 'l love them as much as I do!
I just got the two new scissors and a copper watering can with my birthday money! Couldn't ask for a better present!
I like your explination as always. Big love from Austria 🇦🇹
Thank you Ali!
Thanks. This tree is becoming a very beautiful bonsai.
Thanks, a big change in a year!
Lovely little tree, Nigel! The Larch looks great as well - that tree has a great trunk and base, so much detail. I've been watching your videos basically since the beginning, so I'm getting used to the new production style, but it's definitely a sign of growth and it's great to see - 37K!! Wow!
Yes, my little bonsai channel has grown! I'll be sure to keep experimenting with different styles of videos, Lara Croft might even be back! Thanks Mark and everyone for such great support of the channel!
Thanks for a nice video. Watering cans are very cute...
Thank you Anita!
Really hoping for a 2019 update on this little beauty
It sadly died over the winter, according to Nigel it became -18 and was too much for it to handle.
Hey Nigel! I'd love to see an update on this tree with that new camera lol ;)
Nigel, that tiny watering can is even cuter than the tree :-) Could you please share the plus & minus points of burying that bonsai pot in the original nursery pot and growing sacrificial roots which are pruned periodically ? The background music is a nice touch & would have been better at roughly half the present volume. And i am sharing this from many similar comments on my own older videos, from the audience. Now my simple rule is - find that the volume that i like and reduce it even further for the audience :-)
Thanks Vinny, good sound advice, pun intended! I'll try and cover that topic in a future video with my Ficus religiosa that is in the very tiny pot. Stay tuned!
Vinny Chirayil Hey where have u disappeared. Why aren't new videos coming from ur side. After many failures I have finally got hold on roots in water. Thanks to ur videos. But seems like my training is left incomplete
+Eram Abbasi Hey, thats great news and thanks for inquiring :-) I am just going thru a temporary lack of interest and have new distractions. But i posted a video just now and broke my jinx at last !
Great video Nigel thank you 🌳🌳🌳
Thank you Mike, I couldn't bring the tree in for the winter last year and it died from the extreme cold. I will start another one, I really liked this little tree!
@@TheBonsaiZone do you have a Facebook page so I can private message you ..😀🌳
Looks good!
Thanks Brandon!
nice progress , thank you Master ,
Thank you, I'm looking forward to growing and styling the tree in the future!
lovely music, but it could be a wee bit softer (-5db)
Yes, thanks, maybe a little loud.
That tiny water can was sooo cute.
plz do an update on ur plumeria as well.
Thank you Eram, the Plumeria is growing, but not really quickly. I think it had to get used to being outdoors. I should grow well for the rest of the summer. An update will come!
Hi Mr Nigel .. I'm from Kuwait and we have a lots of Tamarix in the desert .. i'll try to make a cutting of it .. by the way we need a new update too see how it looks like now :) .. thanks
An update will be coming, it's outside and hopefully it survived winter.
Nigel, I really enjoy your videos. However the recent music, it's too loud and honestly I found it better when there was none. Love what you do, keep it up!
Thanks Conner, I'll keep it down!
Nigel do you have an update for this tamarix? Thanks for your videos, they are really cheering me on hard times. You have inspirated me to buy trees and plats. I love to live in a jungle. I will do my first bonsai soon :) thank you!
My Tamarix died over the winter last year, I am going to get another to replace it this summer, it was looking very good for such a young tree!
@@TheBonsaiZone oh no! I really liked it. You do great work with your trees. Hopefully better luck with the new Tamarix!
enjoyed hearing the music throughout, Nigel. and that is a fine watering can.
I'll enjoy seeing the copper get a nice patina over the years!
I can relate. I have a set of old looking copper sieves that my dad had laying around at the concrete plant he works at. could use a 1/8th inch in there but they look great on a shelf.
Love that tiny watering can, will look good in my miniature gardens.Where did you get it from? Is it available online? I like all your larch trees.
The tiny watering can was from a second hand store, I'm always on the look out for this kind of thing! I think you can get them on line....

Very helpful.
Thank you, I will have to start another Tamarix, mine died over the cold winter. I usually bring it into the basement for the winter, but our furnace broke just before the cold spell and I had to collect firewood and clear out the basement for the new furnace. I miss the little tree, but I will start again.
The viewer schefflera were so nice, hope I'm successful with something similar in the future!
Yes, they were a good find by Dean!
G'day Nigel, the tamarix is coming along nice...when making large cuts do you ever use cut paste? What are your thoughts?
I usually don't seal any of the wounds, but I have used white glue to stop a cut from drying out in the first day or two on some of my Yucca trees. Cut paste can cause the wound to rot behind the sealed in cut. Some swear by it, especially on trident maples.
Here are two contrasting views, maybe science vs. feeling....

+Nigel Saunders yeah interesting topic. I have some weedy deciduous trees in my front yard that I can experiment with. I'll make a couple of cuts, one with paste one without and see what heals best. Thanks for the links mate.
It's a miracle, the circumcision of the roots and then the plant took root as nothing happened! How so it turns out?
The roots will recover quickly in the spring time as the tree goes from dormancy to a growing mode!
That pot must be huge. Look how tiny that watering can is next to it!
The hand is even bigger, larger than a tree!
Your hair really took my attention. 😀
Yes, I can truthfully wear a "just woke up looking like this" t shirt!
Nigel Saunders you bet! 😂😂😂
Do the leaves fall off in summer sometimes, like drought deciduous chaparral brushes?
Yes, here is an article that confirms that they are very tough trees!

nice video.... :-)
Thank you Helen, I'm looking forward to growing this tree!
You know any of these evergreen trees that can go indoors all year round ? is this Tamarix a evergreen tree at all ? i am still learning,,, i mean, green needles that are kinda short, kinda trees. like this of yours here. Or ANY other tree like thing i can bonsai that will survive my 23-26 c indoor temp year round ? jade plants i know about and are growing already. Also, thanks a bunch for tons of good learning material.
-Norway
Hello Derrick, the Tamarix should survive indoors well as they grow in some hot areas in the world. They do need a lot of light.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarix
aah, good old wiki. so evergreen is opposite of deciduous,, been wondering what this means when u talk about it =) many things to learn... Thanks Canada =) ,,,, if i may re ask,, i don't have windows with much light, they face all 3 sides of the house, exept the most sunny side.. You know 1 good tree for indoor with nice bark and bonsai properties that will survive low lights ,, indoor ? ... i ask too much maybe. Thanks a bunch either way. i almost hope you monetized now.. .. -Derr @ Norway -
I did have to monetize, I was spending many hours each day answering questions, I love doing it but it was getting up to four hours a day. I think I would leave your Tamarix outside until it lost all it's leaves and then bring it inside when the weather starts to get really cold below about -5C. The tree should stay dormant most of the winter indoors and when the new leaves come in, it should adapt to the light available.
With my cool linux and, other software, i never even noticed you monetized. I'm sorta sorry for razzing you about it as u said :-) i really don't like capitalistic ideas, NONE ! I'm however glad for you Nigel.
Thanks for pro advice.
Long live the tree king ! (You:)
So this would probably be a good indoor tree if it keeps its green right?
Yes it would be very good indoors as long as it gets enough light.
This bonsaï pot is so pretty, does someone knows where i could buy it online or one similar? 😊
I would try and find a local source, many pots get broken in shipping!
The rake is not in this video :(. Can I know where you bought your rake from?
It was bought 25 years ago at a second hand store. I have never seen another like it and I have looked everywhere. Maybe someday I'll find the source!
I am trying to start a maple from seed- is there a way to start other than using stratification ?
Some maple keys fall of the tree in spring and they can be planted straight away and they will grow nicely over the summer. Other types of maples don't loose their keys until fall. These need a cold period so they are ready to germinate in spring.
Nigel Saunders so are American blood maples associated with needing a cold period ?
I might have already asked but when do you root prune evergreens?
They should be root pruned just before they start to grow again in spring. For most evergreens, this is when the new shoots just start to extend.
Nigel Saunders ahhhhh this is my downfall... And would this be the same time to try and get cuttings to grow?
Nigel Saunders so they have started to grow again and it's the end of July/ beginning of August. Repot or no? I got them last week in the mail and they are in flimsy plastic pots
How's this project going? I'd love an update
The tree died over the winter. They are cold tolerant, but I guess only up to about -18 C. I will be getting another and starting all over again. It was the start of a nice little tree, I was sad to lose it.
music is a bit too much, at least for me. all else great as always
Thank you Karb for your input, always good to have!
Hello, is this tree still alive? 😊
No, sadly it died over the winter, I do want to start another!
@@TheBonsaiZone that's to bad, I managed to kill mine too🤣
Make a video how to grow a tamarix plant from its cutting .
I have read that the cuttings can be placed in water and they will grow roots. I got some of mine to root in water, but they didn't survive the transition to soil. I'll try again this year and make a video on it. I am hoping the tree survived outdoors for the winter, I'll see this spring.
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone Ok . By the way thanks for your information .
Thank you so much for sharing the link of my channel! I just uploaded this song you used so anyone interested can listen freely :) Greetings
People like your music!
Good to know :)
Alice in Wonderland's Watering can...tiny in 3,05 suddenly grows huge thru' the looking glass...heheh!...
Thanks, a great way of looking at it!
How is your Tamarix doing nowadays?
It didn't make it through the winter, I will replace it in the future, I miss that little tree!
@@TheBonsaiZone Aww.. So sad to hear! You inspired me to make a bonsai Tamarix. I chopped a nice trunk from the Tamarix growing in my garden. Hopefully I can send you some pics next year.
whats the update of this tree???
Unfortunately the tree didn't make it through the winter. I will be starting another, hopefully this year so the playlist will continue!
Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone thanks for answer, I’ll be alert, I really like this tree!!
Nice hair
I should have looked in the mirror before making the video!
Nigel Saunders No, don't look in the mirror, just keep being yourself!
Lovely trees but the real winners here are Nigel's watering cans.
Thanks Dubsy, I'm looking forward to the nice patina the copper watering can will get over the years!
FOIST? DUBSY?
Where is Dubsy? I'm very worried.
I am getting worried too. He has never been this late. Maybe he is disappointed of not foisting here lately or looking for the first ever bonsai pot that you said in the last video's comment section :))
...the foist dimension perhaps?
I think so, we do not have to underestimate foistology !
i don't like the background
I'm going to work on it to make it better. I think a mix of outdoors and "studio" shots will be better. The black gets a little dark.
Nigel Saunders I liked the natural background of your garden or tree room more
