A Ficus, Cedar and a Celtis Africana, the update on projects that I have done in the past that you have been waiting for.
Yesterday I uploaded a video to YouTube, giving an update on trees that I've worked on in the past. I have posted a few videos on YouTube of projects that I have done but if I look back now I have not always given feedback or updates on those projects.
Before I continue here is the link to the video on YouTube I uploaded yesterday:
The first tree that I gave a update on was the ficus that is styled in a root over rock style. I have done a lot of work on the tree during the past two years. This tree is the first of my root over rock project trees that I am happy with.
In the photos you can see that the tree is doing good and that the hard work has worked out. As mentioned in the video I will be working on the roots and the ramification of the branches.
Here is the first video that I did on this tree:

Maintenance on the Ficus:
The second tree I gave an update on was my Cedar. This tree is the tree that I am the most impressed with. I have developed this tree from a young nursery tree to the tree that you see now. It has endured a lot. During the early stage of this trees development I used a few questionable techniques to shape the tree. Over the years as I started to gain more knowledge it became easier to work on the tree. I have seen great results in the last two years.
Here is the videos on YouTube that I have uploaded on the development of this tree:
First video I posted on this tree:
Cutting back new shoots:
Maintenance:
Removing wire:
The last tree I covered in this video was the Celtis Africana that I did a tread graft on. This is a tree that I dug up out of a friends garden. He wanted to get rid of tree and I thought it would be cool to see if I can make something out of it. I planted the tree in a nursery pot and left it to grow.
Here is the video on the grafting process of this tree:
I will be going through my videos on YouTube to see if there are any other trees that I can give you guys updates on. This weekend on Saturday I will be interviewing Ben-Herman Pieterse. He is the vice-president of SABA, the treasurer at CRAB and the founder of the bonsai club in Worcester.
Please join me on Saturday 16 May 2020 at 10:00 (+2 GMT) on my YouTube channel to watch the live stream.
