Holly: Hello and welcome back to our final part of the big repot. Can I just say that you are meant.
Holly: Can you not? Can they see you?
Lloyd: Well, they can now.
Holly: You’ve meant to have sat down by now.
Lloyd: I’m sitting down. Okay.
Holly: Can I just say that you were meant to have the one with the roots? That’s why I gave that one to you.
Lloyd: Yes, but I’ve got the roots on the top. You had the roots down below, digging to Antarctica in here? Yeah. Well, I was quite pleased that you chose that one, because I know what these trees can be like. Really thick rooted. And I got the easy one, really.
Holly: Yeah.
Lloyd: Next time we swap, and it’s like the old saying goes, no point getting older if you can’t get wiser.
Holly: “Well, you’re certainly doing the first part.”
Lloyd: So anyway, how did you get on with that? Because that was quite a challenge, wasn’t it?
Holly: So it did take me a while to get through the roots. Did have to take off a bit, but the styling went quite well I think. Yeah, it looks really well shaped.
Lloyd: Thinned out quite a lot and you can actually see the trunk a lot more now. See the branch structure looks really nice. Yeah.
Holly: Ideally I’d like to wait for this to grow out a bit more. Fill this area. The only thing I had a problem with was this root. Whatever I did, I couldn’t get it to stay down.
Lloyd: Well. It is possible to get that to stay down. It would need some wire. I did think we would have to wire it down. Yeah, we could still probably do it and pull it down. So it’s not showing. But, you know, sometimes you just have to work with what you’ve got. You can’t take off too much because obviously you’re going to damage a tree.
Lloyd: “So you can always leave it now for I shouldn’t think it’s going to need doing for another couple of years.”
Holly: I think I’ve teased out enough of it. It’s got enough new soil for now.
Lloyd: Two years time, then you can take out that big root. Yeah. When there are other roots have regrown. Then we can come back and do that one. Yeah, maybe three years.
Holly: All right. We’ll be in next five years.
Lloyd: So anyway, mine was better. Mine. Mine came out much better than yours.
Holly: Thank you. Did you have any problems?
Lloyd: No. Not really actually it went quite well. This soil came out nicely. These roots look great. Really loved this bit around here. There’s so much more I’d love to do. But you said I can’t do it.
Holly: I want to sell them.
Lloyd: But
Holly: You know, what do you want to do next?
Lloyd: Well, I’d like to reposition this branch, train it down a bit more, fan out the foliage. So it’s pads come out around here, adapt this. Branch well loads more. But he is going to be another sort of ten years before it would be ready. So maybe I think.
Holly: “We’ll see you all in ten years.”
Lloyd: Ten years. But I think it’s one of those things that I just have to learn that somebody else. I mean, it’s lovely now.
Holly: Yeah.
Lloyd: So they’re both lovely trees because I love the growing of it in the art, I think. Well, we could tweak this, change this, grow this on and that’s what I love doing. So but then somebody else can take it on because whatever stage you buy a bonsai, it’s never finished that.
Holly: That’s true. That’s a good point to finish, even.
Lloyd: If it was a thousand years old. Anyway, it’s good fun, wasn’t it? I’ve enjoyed doing.
Holly: That. They were good ones to do. Yeah.
Lloyd: Lovely. Yeah.
Holly: So stay tuned and we’ll try and find some more like this to do.
Lloyd: Yes.
Holly: Bye.
Lloyd: I wanted to say bye bye.
Holly: Say bye. Oh.
