- While working on European Hornbeam collected as yamadori from the wild in 2012, I talked about Laurent Darrieux. I share my thoughts on my experience of listening to the podcast of Ryan Neil and Laurent from earlier this month.

WOW!!!! I'M AWE-STRUCK! I follow Asymetry and found Laurent Darrieux to be a kindred spirit and I imagine you feel similarly...especially because you kept that secondary trunk. DO NOT CUT IT OFF!!! I LOVE IT!! Your tree and your story are so very inspirational. Thank you for making this wonderful video, especially with all the spliced-in images of the paintings you were referencing. Truly inspiring 🙏🙌👏
Thanks for your compliments. I'm very happy that you like the story, one of my favorites.
I'm lost for words with this very interesting story. The philosophical arguments are endless. Do we make art to get rich, to be famous, to make a living doing what we love, or purely to celebrate beauty. Who defines beauty - and who is allowed to appreciate it? Truly questions of the human condition.
Your hornbeam composition is just wonderful! The fluted trunk and fine tracery of branches really invokes a majestic old tree. I quite like the deadwood - make the tree look like it has triumphed over many battles with the elements.
David Easterbrook in his 'Bonsai Society' RUclips channel demonstrates bridge grafting to heal a large wound on his trident maple. You may find this interesting.
I'm glad I was able to bring my view on thorny ways of art development. I hope at least to some those stories are new or not so well known. It can help to see our struggles in context.
Thanks for recommending the video, I will definitely watch it.
Greetings
Wow. I am very impressed with your video. Nothing else out there is quite the same. Great story. Amazing looking tree. Very entertaining and I wanted to keep listening. I too listen to videos while driving into work and back. It was inspirational and encouraging. I totally understand the bridge you were building with the story. Please keep making videos. I have only watched two, but will watch all of them and keep up with your new stuff. I hardly ever comment on videos but felt I had to with this one. Thank you.
Dear Josua. First and foremost thanks for your beautiful comment.
I'm new to this YT thing and I'm genuinely looking for the path forward. I would like to bring something some people will value and find useful. Not only on practical level but to help see things around ourselves in context and find the way to enjoy things, not to be afraid, to be creative.
I will try to do my best with the future content and rest is on you viewers if you will like it and on YT algorithm.
Greeting
Maros
Another great video, loved the history!
Thanks 👍
I agree with keeping the "secondary trunk" as you say. I also really like the pot you have it in now. nice tree
Thanks, it needs to go deeper to pot. It will look much older, I hope. Greetings
Thank you for the awesome content! 🤘
Thanks for watching 🙏👍
Nice tree and story. Thanks
Thanks 👍
You are becoming very rapidly one of my favourite bonsai channels, not just because of your great looking bonsai but also for the stories you tell.
Whether an innovation is proposed in art, science , history or any other field, for a long time the innovation and the people who want to introduce it, are regarded by the 'old ones' in a very bad way, even going as far to ruin their career and their life and then many years later, it turns out that those 'crazy ones' were right. But that's how most people were and are : afraid of changes, afraid to be wrong, afraid to loose the 'respect' they get from other people. Humankind is a stubborn one.
Thanks for your very kind words. Some stories are worth telling and not to be forgotten.
🙏👍
I recently ran across your channel. So glad I did. Enjoying it very much. I recently participated in a workshop with Laurent. Very nice man and a brilliant artist!
Thanks for your kind words. Laurent seems like an interesting personality for sure. 👍
Here is your new subscriber from Sikkim, India
Thanks, bro. 👍 subscribe to your channel as well
The angle of the upper part of the trunk exposed it to the sun more, which caused that section of the trunk to die.
I had the same thing happen to one of my American Hornbeams, as the lower section of my trunk died like that due to sun exposure. Many people that have seen my tree think I did it intentionally and think it looks nice.
Your tree looks amazing and the dead section just adds character…
Thanks, mate. I am ok with the wound. I ay try to experiment with covering it or not. I will see.
@@marosbonsai It will eventually heal over if you re injure the perimeter of the wound each summer, but not in our lifetime…
😅🌳
Another great video, and a very interesting story ! Thank you 🙏
Thanks 👍
Well, I think I agree with what you tried to explain (or I managed to understand 😂) in this fantastic video: bonsai is not only about what traditionally japanese "theory" dictated to be, but algo about reality, nature and its reproduction into a small scale: a close image of what we can see outdoors.
Thanks for your kind words.
It is true that the struggle to capture the essence of nature is not new, and in any time of art history, there were forces moving in different directions, and only time can tell which leads to progress or development of new trends
For the last couple of videos, the sound comes from only one earphone. Please fix this next time, thanks for your videos🫶
I thought it was just mixing with music this way. I have to look into the setup, mic is new from Santa so I have to look carefully into the setups
History x bonsái = win
👍🙏
I think even Cezanne would tell you to get rid of the secondary trunk. It is distracting in a disturbing way and does not add anything to the general design. I'm sure you considered tilting it forward when you repot the tree but I don't know how the nebari will look like. Anyway, impressive tree and great video.
The thing is, I would recommend Paul Cezane to paint his pictures. His style is not my cup of coffee. He faced a lot of ridicule during life and was more accepted very late age.
Regarding the secondary trunk, my gut feeling is the tree would be too boring without it. But all options are on the table. I have a backup branch on the main trunk on place where it would be big hole after removing secondary.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment and watching my video.
Greetings
Kurňa Maroš, prekladam slúchadlá, raz ideš z pravého, o chvíľu potom z ľavého ))) rozhodni sa ;)
Niečo mám zle nastavené na tom novom mikrofóne. Musím to skúsiť opraviť pri ďalšom videu. Ďakujem za upozornenie 👍🙏
Ahoj Maroš odkiaľ si ? 🇸🇰 ?
Jasne 🇸🇰 🇪🇺
