- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Happy World Bonsai Day!! In honor of this special occasion, I'd like to share this collection video. This footage was taken March 20, 2016. The tree is an American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) taken from my farm's tree line. I hope you enjoy it!
Techniques include digging the tree from the wild, cleaning the root system, and repotting it.

fantastic start! love the low branch. cant wait to see more.
Your videos are great! Very well organized and easy watching. Cheers
Really appreciate the time spent explaining the wild foraging for trees. I dont bonsai at the moment. I tend to do a lot of research before taking on a new hobby. I've been thinking of taking a sassafrass tree from the wild and attempting bonsai. these types of videos really help me for planning. thanks again
+ratherbecampin - I've got sassafras all around, too, & have considered it. There's one in particular on the side of the road that Im eyeballing. I'll be talking with the property owner next time he's out & about. I like the small flowers they produce in the spring, but am super curious how much reduction we could get in the leaves. If you give it a shot, keep me updated!
Hey, if it fails, you could still use the leaves for cooking, and the bark and root prunings for tea!
your Aussie watcher, you make a great video, love the dog just walking through your work.
Thank you for the compliment, and the old man just goes where he pleases!

Thanks for your video. Please upload more bro. :)
Amazing
very nice video, love the end to end story of collecting yamadori
Thanks for sharing
+mikbonsai - & thanks for watching & commenting!!
Best of luck with the tree. Nice video. Your dog looks like a character.
+Craig Hunter - He's a mess. Thank you for watching!
nice!
excellent video!
1:04 especially with hornbeam. It's categorized as an ironwood for a reason lol
An enjoyable video! Thanks. Your dog should start it's own channel.
+Nigel Saunders - my wife completely agrees
Wou very good
Great video, thanks for sharing....
great little tree practicly bonsai already .need a vid of all the trees .cheers
+Arc Turus - will do & coming in the next month or so.
Excellent how-to demonstration of collecting trees from the wild for bonsai. This video and the others --the hornbeam, dog wood, etc--are all nicely done. Would love to see how the trees progress. Maybe a summer nursery tour video or something. Thank you so much for the lesson.
Thank you! I do have plans to show my more mature trees, but it would have to be a backyard tour, and not nursery. I've studied bonsai ten years, I am involved in clubs and expos, but I am not a professional bonsai artist. Even still, my backyard has taken backseat to renovations of a new house, so my outdoor beautification efforts, though very much needed, have not been allowed yet by my wife (hence new basement sidewall for most back drops).
Now that dormancy is approaching, and fall color, I'll be getting some footage of late summer/early fall. I will also be filming at this year's Carolina Bonsai Expo in Asheville, as our club will be presenting, so some of our collective trees will be showcased in a future video.
Thank you again!!
Tank mr...share mr thankyou
Very nice videos ! A video about your collection would be great >D
Greetings from Germany.
I will as soon as I can. My wife and I have been working on the house, so the yard is in shambles, but I will be highlighting several soon. The growing season is always so busy with good weather, holidays, and work. Vielen Dank!
How about the fall time??. For harvesting a tree. Absolutely in love with hop hornbeam
It can be done, just be careful with retaining as many roots as you can.
nice movement in the trunk. I might have thought to grow it on in a larger pot, but I like larger trees myself. Another great video. wonder what will be next?
+Ben Parkinson - I used the only pot left that it would fit! Didn't realize it until I was soaking the tree before potting up. Eh, well... it's doing fine. I've got one more collection video from spring - the dogwood from Larry's Place 1 - it came right up. Thank you for the comment!
Great to here about your tree doing well. Glad to see fellow bonsai enthusiasts!

From indonesia mohon di share Mr ...
Bravissimo che terriccio ai usato grazie
👍👍👍
Olá amigo... faz um vídeo mostrando o seu viveiro de bonsai atual... gostaria de ver seus resultados... grande abraço
Eu vou. Não é tão grande como você poderia pensar, apenas cerca de 50 árvores. Tudo isso começou como uma coleção pessoal, mas apenas continua ficando maior! Minha esposa e eu estamos trabalhando fora detalhes para ter um berçário adequado no futuro. Eu aviso você! Abraços
Parabéns, VC tira toda terra da raiz mesmo assim brota?
Eu faço para a maioria das árvores. Tente manter tantas pequenas raízes quanto possível.
nice. im promest have a trees :)
Umm...i have a question. I dont do what you do here but i think its really cool. However i was wondering if you have to protect your hornbeam tree from fungus. I v observed an area were this tree grows ina good number. And have seen that when they get damaged they seem to be susceptible too infection.
That's a great observation, OzarkWanderer. They do become susceptible, and I've had it destroy some of my earliest collections.
What I've found is this: American hornbeams are an under-story tree, so they're most often found in cool damp shaded areas. That kind of environment is perfect for fungi to thrive, so if a wild tree is damaged, it is likely to be exposed to spores and infection. My early days of pruning a tree while in the ground and collecting the following year were hampered by this. I'd return in the spring to a stump that was covered in fungus. Because of this, I found it best to prune & collect all in one swoop to avoid issues. And, because I have trees in good draining soil and in more sunlight, they dry out faster, with less chance of decay.
Appalachian Bonsai awe. Thanks for response. I make bows out of them. Onceci figured out that the damaged ones get sick those are the ones a started collecting to craft with. I fond several this last weekend that have been knocked over by flood water for example. And i know they will be sick or dead in next year or two
Can i get an update from this tree
do we need some chemical after dig the tree ? thank you for your video .
You don't need to have it, but it doesn't hurt. I add a rooting hormone (any will do), a systemic fungicide/insecticide with a little bit of fertilizer (I use Bayer 3-in-1), and water.
What is the wright time to do this process? Thks and keep it up!
For me, spring time.
Ok Thanks for your reply!
Do you get permits for this? Or is this all on private land? I'm curious about this part of the equation. It would be cool to find something someday, but I would want to do it legally and sustainably. Any recommendations?
This tree was on my personal property. Other trees I've collected were either on my property or friends' private property. I have intentions of collecting on public lands, but haven't done so yet. For National Forests, you can go to a ranger station and get a dig permit. I think it's like, $25 for one plus $10 for each next, up to ten trees. It's been a while since I looked it up though. Hoping to do this out west, like Wyoming or South Dakota this summer.
@@AppalachianBonsai Thank you for the reply. I think this is a crucial part to explain in modern day bonsai, especially when sharing on RUclips to thousands of people (many wanting to do the same, but with little knowledge.) I am surprised more people don't talk about the importance of responsible collecting and the ethics of digging a tree out of nature.
What is your method for applying rooting hormone? You just mix it in The water?
I have a liquid rooting hormone as opposed to the powder type. It adds to water 1 ounce per gallon.
@@AppalachianBonsai So honored by your response! i'm a very new bonsai enthusiast and, if you welcome them, I will continue to send questions your way. Just a warning, some questions may be coming a very ill-informed stand point. Thanks in advance!
Has anyone had any luck collecting American hornbeams in the fall? If so, before or how long after leaf loss? I live in Raleigh, NC.
I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't recommend it. Here's the biological backstory and reason why:
Trees are going dormant, so they're pushing most of their nutritional sap into the roots before they drop leaves. This nutrition is required to sustain them through winter and and then thrust them into growth. In spring, the nutrition is pushed back into the trunk, causing the vascular system to swell, the buds to push open, and branches to extend - hydraulics! That's the time to collect. All that nutrition is leaving the roots and being pumped into the trunk. When the roots are cut at this time, the reservoir in the trunk sustains the tree until it can callous over cuts and regrow. Make sense?
If you cut the roots in the fall, the reservoir of nutrition is lost, and you risk killing the tree. There isn't much sap left to restart the spring growth process. Repotting in the fall is something that can be done as long as you don't disturb the roots too much, but it isn't common. Usually the process involves slip-potting, and nothing else. I recommend being patient and waiting until spring. Good luck.
Makes sense - thanks!
I'm Brazilian student at English and bonsai , he is Very good master of bonsai , please the English Sad kkkkkk
what are you using for soil?
I'm in a soil transition! Traditionally, I've used variations of Turface, crushed granite (chicken grit) & sifted pine bark. This year, I've a few different mixes; one with 30-30-30 Turface, diatomic earth, & sifted pine bark; another is only 50-50 Turface & diatomic earth. I've one with Turface, diatomic & lava. They're all working well.
The diatomic earth holds great moisture & nutrients, but I'm finding it to be breaking down if disturbed. I'll see what happens after the winter & adjust if necessary. The granite is way too heavy with the larger trees, and it holds no moisture or nutrients. Happy I've stopped using it. The lava/pumice option is a direction I'm moving more towards. It also holds good moisture, and is light. The aesthetic is also lovely.
Here's a great article from Walter Pall concerning soils. It's been a good influence:

thank you :)
saludos. desde méxico. disculpa que sustrato utilizas. excelentes videos.
MVP de Turface, corteza de pino, tierra de diatomeas y arena. Relación de 3:3:2:1 Tamizar a 2-6 mm. Turface es un tipo de arcilla cocida y se usa en campos de béisbol. La tierra de diatomeas es el ingrediente principal en la limpieza de derrames de aceite y arena para gatos.
@@AppalachianBonsai muchas gracias y excelentes videos
Bagus
Terima kasih!
Which soil you are using ??
Should be in the description. 3x Turface MVP, 3x Pine Bark, 2x Diatomaceous Earth, 1x sand. All sifted 2-6 mm
Thank you 😍😍😘

+Kalista Hall - WOOHOO!!! And happy you're one of them!!
+Kalista Hall - LOVE!!! Sprinkle that shit everywhere!!
Advise the soil for hardwood bonsai. thank
Turface MVP, pine bark, diatomaceous earth, coarse sand. Ratio 3:3:2:1
a very thin tree without movement is not suitable for further cultivation
your recipe for bonsai soil?
Depends on the tree. I'm working on series now to discuss properties of soil and mixes for different trees. The first two videos are currently up & running.
