100+ years old Collected Buttonwood Bonsai Makeover at The Bonsai Supply 

Buongiorno cari. La vostra simpatia e più accentuata della vostra stessa maestranza. Prendetelo come un complimento. Wuauuuuuu!!!!!!

"just twist to pull the branch a little at a time and this way it won't break" SNAP! "well this is awkward" 😂 😂 😂 Most people would edit that out, thanks for keeping it real!

10K, this is awesome, congratulations to you both!

WOW, Jerome, this video just taught me ANOTHER trick that I had not heard before from any other bonsai channel. I had never heard of using a spritzer bottle to immediately spray the torched area to make it swell and blacken to give it an older look. THANK YOU. Also, you and your wife showed real class when that limb broke off. Instead of editing it out, you left it in and laughed about it. As I said.....real class. I'll tell you this; that limb was MEANT to break off. I do not believe in coincidences at all since 1969 when my guardian angel took physical form and shielded me from an exploding Chinese made rocket that hit no more than 15 feet from me and I didn't even feel a breeze. Those things carried 9 pounds of high explosives. Now, with that limb breaking off, you will produce an ever BETTER tree by using that stump piece. Even if you cut it all the way back to the trunk. You tree will be even better. Have a blessed day.

breaking the branch while giving the opposite of proper advice was hilarious 😂 it was like an Ernest does bonsai

glad to hear about you 10K

So good to see an, "Oops!" Keeps it real. You guys were cool. Appreciated the honesty!!!

Congratulations on reaching 10K

They good job couple

Just reaching 10K subscribers? It says 37.5K now 8/7/2020!!!! Congratulations.🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on the 10k. When that branch snapped I actually gasped out loud. Ouch! You did a nice job of downplaying it but that had to hurt. Great specimen . Thanks

I love you guys! Shit happens!

Congrats on 10k. You’ll be at 100k before you know it. I am 1 year into bonsai and trying to gain as much knowledge about bonsai as in can. Would you please explain the purpose of each ingredient in your bonsai soil. I am using a fired clay (kitty-drama) for water retention, a fine bark compost also for water retention and the organic properties, and aquarium gravel for drainage and to aid in air action. This mixture seems to be working for me. I realize there is no “magic” soil mixture, but the more I learn about the ingredient properties and why they are used, I might be able to improve on my mixture and make my trees healthier. There is always room improvement. I’ve learned a lot from viewing your videos. You and your wife are great together. Pleas keep the Great work. You are very much appreciated.

Great video, good looking tree. Usually in my country Conocarpus can be found in flooded areas, way far from wildfires.

Keeping it real! That just won you another subscriber here. I'll be seeing you! Greetings from Argentina.

Tnx for being real Jerome 😄 I wish you get more subscribers..

I just love how they keep it real. This happens in real life. Been there done that. I must say I was not as cool as he was. I was in shock 😳 for about two minutes. As if someone else contributed to the incident.😄

Congrats my friends! Love all your work.

Now this is truly amazing! 💚

A it's a really cool tree and I'm really loved that you owned the mistake of breaking the branch instead of just adding that out and making it seem like it was intentional.

Congratulations guys! I love the channel and I love your trees. I like how you guys work together and keep up the good work 😊🌱🌳

Enjoy your videos immensely. I really like they way you explain what you are doing and why. Makes it much easier to understand. Wish I was closer would love to visit your place. I have ordered a few tools and the speed in which I received them was unbelievably fast. Will be ordering again soon. My favorite bonsai site!

Congratulations on the 10k

Congrats, you've got some awesome trees!

Beautiful video.. Inspiring.. Thank you.

Congratulations! Well deserved! I always watched you guys! 10k! Wow! Way to go guys! Cheers from LA!

Nice video! Really like the honesty of the branch SNAP! Cannot wait to come and see your place. Will have to make a weekend of sometime soon. Keep on keep'n on!

Another great video, you and your wife make a great team. We all appreciate all your videos, I like the way you present and explain the material including techniques (even if they break occasionally). I am sure your subs will continue to climb paying for all the hard work.

Congrats on the 10k. Very well deserved. Hopefully the tree will sort itself out with a new branch for you

My biggest mistakes happen when I'm doing a demo. It's easy to get distracted. Thanks for keeping that snapped branch in the video. #shithappens

Breaking limbs is the main method I use with my bonsai. I've had exactly one dogwood and I killed it after three months.

Well, not only me and my parrots break branches , professional people dot it as well . Thank you for sharing.

I liked your video. Regards from Guatemala!

Simply beautiful. Nice for you to leave the mishap of breaking of the branch. Just one small thing. Won't it be better if you turn the tree slightly, anti-clockwise, to get a better look on the trunk profile. Thanks, once again.

You should list bonsai trees for sale on your website.

nice tree , great use of the material you have , well done on the 10k

Congratulations! Pretty cool. Love the tree. Sorry abut the branch. Hey, I just bought a green scissor like that from you guys a week ago...good to see you are using one!...lol

I live in southwest fl. Love y’all’s videos. We can I collect buttonwood

Congratulations on 10k I wish for you 100k more. Take care thanks for the beautiful tree wish my weather would let us have even a portion of the species you can grow. I'm in zone 3 and lucky to have 70 as a daytime high let alone night time. Lol

I watched a video about Bonsai once like two years ago. Now youtube algorithms think I am obsessed with bonsai keeping and send me nonstop recommendations. I clicked this video and I am not sure but I think I did it because of brain washing.

Congrats you two! My Mary Madison bwood is struggling mightily after the repot. Hope it lives.

Nice beautiful how much that stry ?

Hi nice working Wat is price bonsai pots ?

Over in Europe we don’t know “buttonwood”. Is it a Conocarpus erectus? Thanks for the videos you’re creating together! I really learned a lot from them.

how is it treated?

Beautiful old tree! Congratulations on your channel's growth. I enjoy your videos - and now I am especially interested in hot weather bonsai care. I am moving from Philadelphia to New Orleans. Sadly, I will have to part with about 70% of my collection - spruces, pines and cedars that will never survive in zone 8/9. It will be fun to start working with new species. Do you have any experience with southern live oak/quercus virginiana as bonsai?

why conocarpus called buttonwood?

Plan B: a total restyle coming up in a future video.

What ratio of soils to make your mix?

You are such a cute couple. Congrats on 10K!. Lol love how you handled the break. Beautiful and amazing transformation. Thank you for sharing your amazing skill and tree with us. Does the 10% apply at your location/garden or only online? Thank you.

What did he say, I can't hear him ?
