Nigel Saunders, The Bonsai Zone
Канада
Добавлен 22 янв 2014
I'm Nigel Saunders and this channel is all about creating living miniature trees. Most of the work I do is "clip and grow" in a "realistic" style. I am trying to create miniature versions of trees found in nature. I will be posting movies of local bonsai shows and educational videos on the art of bonsai. I am from Southwestern Ontario, Canada.
I have been growing trees since 1993 and belong to the Kitchener-Waterloo Bonsai Society and the Toronto Bonsai Society.
Check out the clubs on Facebook, and for information on our club meetings. See the links below.
Be sure to check out the playlists for individual tree progression, and also for bonsai shows and tree documentaries!
Thanks for watching,
Nigel

Thanks...
Did anyone else notice how horribly the chickens screamed when Nigel cut that first branch? I think they were screaming “Wire it!”…. Alas, in vain… 😂
Beautiful😍🌳
This tree is simply amazing Nigel!
There it is...My favorite Bonsai of your collection...Looks a little worse for the wear but I know you will be able to bring it back to its former glory...If not, let me know and I'll come get it!!! I have a picture of it above my Bonsai work bench...I now have a second picture...Amazing job Nigel...
Great information and narrative Nigel...Its always a pleasure to watch your videos and continue to expand my Bonsai knowledge...Thank you very much for sharing thoughts and expertise...
I always appreciate your content and this was no different. What a great venue for a Bonsai show, and what a great show. Thanks for the ride-along.
Great it will be bushy again
Your Serissa is simply a Masterpiece!
On International thank you day, I just wanted to say thank you, Nigel, for all your help and great informative videos.
Excelente serissa. Salud, Nigel. 🙇♂️
This is one of my favourite trees in your collection. I love the branch definition you’re giving the tree. It’s looking amazing.🤩
Nigel, I found "The practical guide to bonsai styles of the world" from Charles Ceronio, a interesting book. And I ordered it.
Idk if it's just me but after the pruning the trunk looks very big! Also I think it's the tree where you notice the most how much brighter the branches get after pruning so much foliage away. And yet, after pruning it doesn't look that different. Just gets to show how well developed it already is!
Im loving the Serissa.. thanks Nigel
What an awesome tree
"The Blue Scissors " ... what a great title for a future chapter in your Book Nigel ?
Excellent tour Nigel and they sure are some beautiful trees. It's a shame you had that humming sound in the background, was that the air conditioner?
Such a beautiful tree, Nigel!!!!!!!!
Joyeuse fête du Canada ❤
Nigel, is the Serrisa smell pleasant or not? I couldn’t tell exactly by your reaction. The blossoms are sweet smelling right? Is the sap acrid and unpleasant? Your first cut was a good choice, in my humble opinion.
Both the roots and the branches small bad, like a washroom! I'm not sure the flowers have any smell, I'll smell the next one that comes out!
Smelling like some reefer 😂😂😂😂 like a musky skunk
Nice ❤
Thanks 🔥
This one you have is a really masterpiece❤
Thanks so much!!
Mr Blue scissors does it again. Thanks, keep growing
They are becoming one of my most used tools!!!
Wow what a great bonsai show thanks Nigel
Glad you enjoyed it
I just love this tree and have watched it from the beginning :)
Thanks Xavier, that's a lot of videos!!
Foist
Pure luck always triumphs!!
Great narrative of your decision making process...Thanks for sharing...
Thanks Nathan, the tree is doing well this year!!
Excellent insights on your Bonsai philosophy...What I gleamed from this was, "Work within the confines of what the tree has to offer and ones ability to refine it"...Kind of works for life too...
Well said!
I only just realized that as I swap between you current videos and your old videos that a lot of my comments are in fact out dated...Duh!...Well, at minimum I will comment my thanks for your efforts...I'm learning so much from your narratives...THANKS...
I understand!!
Thank u Nigel. Love Ur passion. I live in "lamington national Park. Would heritage rainforest in Queensland Australia I'd love u to knowabout Antarctic beech trees....
I will be getting a native Beech tree soon, but an Antarctic Beech, I've never seen one!!
Nigel thanks for your honest commentaries ! I appreciate hearing your realities of bonzai !😊
Always!
Thanks...
You're welcome!
👍👌👌
What a beautiful place Nigel. Great exhibition with lots of stunning trees. Thanks for sharing 👩🏻🌾🪴
Glad you enjoyed it
Is this the place where the nature bites channel always do their documentary video? Anyway, your efforts is so inspiring my man❤
It sure looks like it, lol!!!
Thank you Nigel,for the wonderfui oppurtunity to visit this wonderful exhibition
Awesome show. Thanks for sharing!!
I thought the bushyness balanced out the large roots.
It will be very bushy in the future!!
I love ficus!
Thanks for taking us inside! What a fantastic place!
Thanks Marysol!!
Cool to see that flashback of you working on the old gollum jade. I am very fond of the old outdoor shooting area!
Thanks!!!
94 and going strong. God Bless Him!
Yes indeed, something to aspire to!!
Fascinating show with some really great ideas. Thank you for the tour. Good to see Jay moving around.
Thanks Tom!!
Cool Stones!!!
Yes, some really good ones, they are from a famous collector who passed away.
Nigel, as always a very well made video and commentary.Some youtubers make swirvy videos that are hard to watch! You know how it's done. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
I noticed quite a few people showing their pots with the shorter side foreword or even diagonally. I'm not used to seeing that, but I like it!!!
I was hoping you would capture that white, vertical suiseki with all the holes. Kinda looked like coral.
I missed a few trees and accents, I didn't push the record button!!
Robert looks much younger than 94!!! They say gardening helps you live a long life!
It's really awesome to see someone at age 94 with trees in a show, very special!!!
Thank you Nigel, beautiful trees.
Many thanks
