I like where you're going with this pine , suits the pot very well.

Another excellent video and together with my coffee and sandwiches makes it a wonderful moment to enjoy life :) Yeah, that pot surely invites to alot of imagination and the fun part is that I like the "back" better than the "front". That shows we all have different takes on the world and that is a beauty in itself with the diversity - take care everyone!

I liked the back, too. I think because you can see more of the trunk.

I like the synergy between the tree and the pot, the alpine spirit of this composition is truly expressed, especially after this last intervention!

Thanks Shany, I hope it all comes together some day!!!

I love the angular design with that pot, and I also think that front branch actually looks good, the way it follows the pot, and has very nice movement :)

Another great morning in the Bonsai Zone! How are you feeling today Nigel? Off to water my thirsty brugmansias, and then - giving the first haircut to my new nursery stock hinoki cypress. Have a nice day!

Very special Nigel, it's like a fragment of pine that survived a vulcano eruption!

Cool, that sounds about right!!

Wow, that couldn’t have come out better. So dramatic. So elegant. So…cascadey. Love it.

This is going to be a killer tree in some 5 to 10 years :-) I like it more and more with every new video :-)

I love that pot! 🥰 It DOES look like the side of a mountain, and I really like the styling you did today! I appreciate that you keep an open mind, and try new things that are non-traditional. I think it looks AMAZING! I hope that you and Connor have a fantastic time on the 4th. 🙂

I really like that pot Shanney made. That trees suits it perfectly.. Hope we get to see an update the new temple you worked so hard on casting. Take care

I love that pot Nigel

Nice Nigel. That's a great tree and pot combination they are both wild and tortured looking.

Litchi is one of my favourite fruit 🤤

Very interesting and informative

beautiful pine!

Nice composition this pine. Will be interesting to see an update of that tree to see if it buds back, as scots pine usually do like crazy if well cultivated like yours.

Nigel, you have the king Buzzo hair going hard man.

the result is convincing👍

😄..it can be quite nerve wrecking watching you making some of your pruning decisions Nigel phew !😄..you always make the right decisions though your experience stands out..really enjoyed this one thanks so much..🦆

I love playing along to see if I agree with your pruning choices. I have been playing this little pruning game with myself since I started watching your channel. It helps me learn, and it's so much fun! This tree looks so much better with today's work! It's very exiting! Thanks Nigel! Have a fun, safe trip tomorrow! Lisa

Small but really look big in nature

😍beautiful ❤

Love the uniqueness off that tree!

The slant of the pot and the slant of the tree, nice theory of the snow running down. Tree looks good so far. Road Trip. Cool. Check out for some really cool and unusual trees to try and bonsai at the nurseries. Rock collecting is always fun. Hope you find some good ones. Looks like you hit the nail on the head with the cloth idea for the Baobab seeds.

Love this one..

Very nice bonsai. This plant looks fantastic in this hand-made pot. Just love where you are headed in this styling.

Your road trip sounds exciting. Have fun!

I'm wondering when you'll begin construction on the glass greenhouse.

Hi Nigel, I enjoyed your scots pine prune and the updates :) I've been listening to your weather updates now for a few weeks and I'm a bit stumped at how similar your weather is to ours here in the middle of Germany. The temperatures you mentioned at the end of the video match exactly with ours again and we are experiencing an unusually cool and late summer too. Been raining for almost a week, sun has just today decided to come out again.

That pot is fantastic! Pretty sure I've got a scotts pine growing from seeds I did last year, hopefully one day it can look as well as yours

Ha-ha. Point it out sometime.

Hai Nice Video and u r plant pots are so different and Nice collection 👏👏👏

Nigel, I'd like to suggest you take the short cascading branch off and then wire and bend the longer one that comes across and covers the trunk and front of the pot to the side to follow the angle of the pot. What do you think?

Hey Nigel what brand of cutters (the ones with the wood handles) do you have? It looks like a quality tool.

Well, well done! Your pruning allowed the pine and the pot to come into artistic balance and harmony. The sum is a beautiful compliment, a modern bonsai pas de deux of form and motion. Was afraid some of the cuts were going to be too much, but not so. This bonsai will be fun to watch mature. Thanks for sharing. 🌿🌿 Speaking of Xin (is that spelled correctly?) and his channel, Maybe Bosai, I've subcribed and now check on him and his trees. I'll listen for mention of his lychee bonsai. Beantown 14 C🌡 now.

Hi Nigel love your videos, I have a question are still building your greenhouse? Last I heard you were waiting to pour your foundation . Do you have any updates? Take care Dj

It starts to fit the pot.

Get the hedge trimmers out ...

The link to shanedesign is not working. Can you provide another? Thanks.

retirement goals imo

@@therealSais i have watched one of his videos where he explains why he doesnt use wires and honestly I cant remember the exact reason but I believe it was something to do with the wires cutting into the tree. Less scars for the tree to try and heal. Either way yea clip and grow is slower but it results imo in more natural looking final products, as its near impossible for a human to recreate the chaotic yet organized way of nature 🙂

I dident like the last cut you took nigel. I feel you took the balance out of the tree. But your tree. You do what you like. And I really hope you can take that big air root from ficus fancy on left side. Think that would inproved the tree. That has to go. Has been annoying me a looong time 🤣but again your tree. Your design.

I quite liked that big branch at the back as well, it seemed to flow really well with the shape of the pot. Rather than taking it off completely, maybe it could have been made into deadwood where it protrudes over the protective slope of the pot, exposed to wind and weather?

That bottom branch is really weird, it almost looks like its been pasted on the side of the tree.

No I just don't like that loong branch.
