Big cut coming up

I root pruned some of my trees today, I knew watching Nigel’s video after would make med feel ok about how much I took off 😂

If anyone can make a Wisteria into a bonsai, Dr. Nigel can. Enjoying a hot cup of tea while watching this great tutorial.

I've witnessed a number of growers have success with Wisteria. I think they're very popular bonsai in the UK :)

You should have seen Hong's trees

That was really a severe root pruning, I really hope Nigel, that the Wisteria will make it and will give you many years of joy developing into a beautiful flowering bonsai. I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed 🤞 I hope you'll feel better soon !

Roots like ginseng. Looks like you had no choice but to reset. I like that pot and I hope to see the wisteria and yourself recover quickly.

Super cool gift! Root maker pots +.

LOL I don't know why your "zombie apocalypse" bit gets me every time, but it does.

I just performed the same procedure on my wisteria last week. It had been a year since I collected it with hardly any roots. Over the summer it thrived and the roots were growing from the bottom of the pot. Sooooo,,, I went FULL NIGEL on the roots. Hopefully it survives😂. Thanks, keep growing

This is such good therapy for the mind and soul. Thank you Nigel.❤

Hi Nigel. It’s great to have wisteria as bonsai. Some of the most beautiful bonsai I have ever seen are wisteria. Good luck with this recovery. I think if anyone can do it, it’s you. The root hog pots are awesome.

I’ve been trying to grow a wisteria from seed for a bit but haven’t had any luck yet. One of these days I’ll get one going!

Get some hot tea and rest with lots of liquids. Hoping you get better real soon.

Crazy root work!! I hope this roots for you Nigel! That stainless steel chopstick looks great to use! Wont have a bamboo one snap again!

Watching you is becoming my religion again

Thanks.

Wisteria take a good few years before they bloom for the first time. I think mine are three years old, no flowers yet

WOW! You really did some major root pruning on that wisteria. Will be interesting to see if "your feeling" about the plant's survival. Feel better soon.

On the flat bottom of this pot, I bet with a diamond file you can make 4 grooves in the bottom for drainage flow. Just a thought.

Awesome chopstick 👍

Hey Nigel, any updates? Grts Kennet

I hope it lives. I passed up a chance a couple of years ago on buying a nice Wisteria on clearance for $10 that would have made a beautiful instant Bonsai. I don’t know what I was thinking lol

Hi Nigel, have you thought about root cuttings?

nice your every work

UPdates please I just root chopped my wisteria myself about 2 weeks ago to mine and need to see how you did with yours!

Foist to foist

👍👌🍻

:O its happening

Nice gifts from Rob. I personally got a full American Bonsai tool set this winter but I've been having a number of issues with their customer service. I hope it improves.

Same here. I received an email back when I had a few questions a month ago. It read that they are so busy right now getting orders out that it would be awhile before they would be able to get back.

@Rob Cottam that's an automated email. With enough persistence you can get past that but I'm just not convinced it's worth the effort until something changes. I've been happy with all tools but one that I've shipped back due to manufacturing defect.

Hello Nigel ! Did this Wisteria survive, if so could you make an update on it and maybe on how to prune a wisteria?

Sorry Nigel, l guess l didn't do you any favours giving you that tree. In the future l will handle any trees l dig up by not leaving all of the roots by not overemphasizing the tree's survival on its first transplant from the grow bed. Generally, the tree is at its strongest when potting from the field, nursery container and after collected recovery.

They tend to be very agressive growers, David, so I think the survival chances of this plant are very good :)
