This is beyond artistic Nigel. I'm an artist myself, and I can see you painting you trees in 3D space. The only difference is I paint, you prune. Really great videos, God bless.

You are a genius Nigel, the "Pablo Picasso" of Bonsai art.

I love watching you prune. It's so scary yet gives me courage to go for it on my own little tree. Thanks for the great videos!

wow so refreshing to listen to you at the same time watching you do fantastic job . . . thanks for the lessons!

Thank You Nigel! I love watching your shows! Big Love from South Africa!

The pros and cons of perlife as a soil. it is light weight and drains well. this makes it nice for large plants especially those that want the soil a little on the dry side. The drawback is that it also holds less nutrients. This means that in order to keep the plant healthy you need to be more diligent with fertilizing the soil.

I find that moss makes the trees WAY easier to water as it protects the soil from getting washed out as you spray. Sounds obvious, but nobody seems to mention that...Also, the truck looks freaking AWESOME. So jealous. Really well done.
