Growing trees from seeds can be a pain and a gamble. When they grow, they grow and sometimes nature intervenes.
A big thank you has to go out to Jamie over on ‪@KeepingItBonsai‬ and ‪@keepingitkoi‬
I am also a proud member of the TreeMasons Society.

Nice gifts from your friend.

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

They sure were Tom, maybe we should do a collaboration one day too.

@bobcatbonsai 4 месяца назад

Great video Gav. These little trees are looking awesome. Hope they grow great for you!!

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

Thanks Matt and they may be small, but they'll grow into (hopefully) nice looking little trees

@Bonsaicrazy 4 месяца назад

Nice one gav mate good luck with those and bad luck with the once you’ve lost 👊👊

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

Thanks Andy mate and yeah it was a bummer. But hey at least I have a few more seedlings that I'll protect and keep away from the pests

@maylucriandesigns 4 месяца назад

when the slugs come out in force they sure bring an appetite....i know about the slugs ( the small ones are the worst ! ) great seedlings from a friend 💚 there is always another year for seeds 💚

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

They sure do John and the rain that we've had has only made the problem a whole lot worse. That's a good way of looking at it. Seeds won't go away and there's always another year

@keepingitkoi 4 месяца назад

Glad they found you well and they look like they made the journey ok 👍 hopefully these ones are now to big to be bothered by the pests now 👍😊

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

Thanks Jamie and yeah they seem to have made the journey ok. Since filming, they have all put on a lot of growth, so they should make great trees. Cheers bud 👍

@@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel It would have also been helpful to share maybe what Jamie did differently to have more success. I'm horrible at germinating, and keeping seedlings and cuttings alive. Cheers!

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 3 месяца назад

@@t3dwards13 Thanks for commenting and yeah that wouldn't have been a bad idea. Thing is, I'm not sure what Jamie does differently. Maybe his garden is different to mine and doesn't attract so many pests or maybe his just a better Germinator of seeds. It's an odd one for sure, but with these seeds, he sure has had a lot more luck than me

@t3dwards13 3 месяца назад

@@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel I thought about that, but figured it couldn't hurt for me to make that suggestion. 🙈

@XaviersBonsaiRetreat 4 месяца назад

The best natural protection is laying a barrier of salt around your pots - can be a wee bit expensive but works. Needless to say that despite my own advice I still suffered with pests ringbarking my baby sprouted seedlings. Just a couple made it out of the lot!

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

That's a good tip Xav, I'll have to give that a try in a small area and see if it helps.

@DeciduousSnurb 4 месяца назад

Nice starter trees. The 3 trunks on the boxwood could be a good thing if they're low enough. I personally think boxwood look good as multi trunk bonsai.

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

I am liking the multi trunk on this little tree and will have to work out a design for it. I'm thinking the cloud tree idea will work, but it'll take many years before those pads could be established and grown in

@keepingitkoi 4 месяца назад

It won't take as long as you think if you up pot it for a few years 😉

@DeciduousSnurb 4 месяца назад

Do you have an area in the yard where you put your trees in ground to thicken? Or is that too convenient for those pests?

@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel 4 месяца назад

That wouldn't be a bad idea, but yeah pests could prove to be a problem and keeping them in pots means it's easier keeping an eye on them
