Blue Sky Bonsai

I am absolutely humbled by the incredible response to my book "Bonsai, the Blue Sky way" and astounded by how many requests I’ve had for signed copies. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It’s been an amazing journey so far, and I’m now happy to offer signed copies of the hardback edition of the book, which I’ll send you directly myself.


If you’d like your own signed copy — or would like me to sign one dedicating it to someone special — here’s how you can get it:


Order: Simply email me at dave@blueskybonsai.com with your name and delivery address, and I’ll confirm the total including postage and packaging. If the dedication is for someone else, please include their name.
Price: The book’s list price where you are* plus the actual cost of packaging and postage to you. The easiest way to pay is via PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, let me know and we’ll explore other options.
Postage: I will use the lowest-cost trackable delivery I can find to your location.


If you already have a copy, you could always consider gifting your current one and treating yourself to a signed edition! I’m more than happy to personally sign these books, and appreciate your continued support in the Blue Sky Bonsai community.





Thanks again, and happy growing!

PS. If you've enjoyed the book, I’d love to hear your thoughts! A quick review on Amazon would mean a lot and help others discover Bonsai, the Blue Sky Way. Thanks so much for your support!



*PPS. For readers in South Africa and Japan, where the online price is unusually high, I’m happy to offer a lower price than advertised. Please contact me directly to discuss. For Australia, I will honour the hardcover price listed on TheNile.com.au rather than Amazon. However, please be aware that tracked postage to all these locations may be expensive.

Hello All! Here is my latest video - Pro Tips for Tropical and Indoor Bonsai.
What is your favourite species for tropical trees - the so-called "indoor" bonsai? And what is your absolute worst species?

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/L9qNrI1Qbj0

You'll see my tips, along with a completely new recommendation I've been trying with branch and root pruning, and it works well.

There are two whiteboard sessions.

There are two very quick "shameless plugs" for my book, but they're so quick you won't notice them!

I'm pruning six different trees, of five different species. All in 10 minutes.

And before you watch the video... see if you can guess what species is my absolutely least favourite of all the plant kingdom? It's not a secret. Hope to see you there tomorrow!

Hello! Now that my book is finished and out, I'm back to making videos again. 📽️🌳
And here are some pics of the video I'm working on - if all goes to plan, I'll publish it next Saturday.
In the meantime, if you're reeeally curious, you can see a free preview of the unabridged video - all 25 minutes of it - before I chop and change it, for general consumption. It's free - I'm not charging for extra content - all you need to do is subscribe to the Blue Sky Bonsai newsletter right here: blueskybonsai.com/2024/10/06/indoor-bonsai-tropica…
Hope you enjoy it!

The BLUE SKY BONSAI news has been announced, the cat is out the bag, the beans have been spilt. Video is here: https://youtu.be/FjREzX9bigM

PS: My apologies for the false start last week. The last-minute issue I discovered had to be fixed. It's been a stressful week, but now it is completely resolved and WE ARE GOOD TO GO!

Apologies! I have had to postpone the announcement of my news due to an expensive technical issue. 😔 As today is Friday, it's unlikely to be resolved until next week ... SO SORRY!!

I promise as soon as the issue is resolved I will publish my announcement. You'll be the first to know.

In the meantime here's a fun poll...
What do you think I will be announcing?:

Hi and here is some good news.. I finally have a video to publish. It's about summer pruning with a twist ;)

https://youtu.be/AGkLb16Oqag

I'm sorry that it's been so long without a Blue Sky Bonsai video.. but soon it will become clear why... in ten days and counting! 😊❤️

This is my ficus microcarpa, it's got some issues like old wire-bite still visible, and some inverse taper at points, but I'm happy with the way it's heading. In general you can't go wrong with a ficus!

In the fifth picture you can see how it looked 5 years ago, a few months after I rescued it from the bargain "nearly dead" shelf in a garden centre.

Good news: I now have a replacement PC, now up and running with video editing software installed. I filmed some summer pruning before these photos, so I'll start editing imminently.

Also, I've been putting the finishing touches on a big new project which will see the light of day in the next few weeks. It might surprise you but I'm sure you'll like it! More news on that coming soon...
