    I've been a landscape designer and selective pruning specialist,for the last 22 years. So naturally I wanted to pick up bonsai, I started bonsai about 11 years ago and I am still learning. This is an art form that takes tons of patience, perspective, and willingness to learn from the mistakes you have made along the way. And by learning the bonsai art form, I realized a lot about life that I had no idea was connected to bonsai. I know nobody here knows who I am, but in a nutshell, practicing the art of bonsai, change my perspective on life, and rectified the path I was going down. And then I find this channel.... The way he explains everything, the tone of his voice, even when ideas pop into his head and he voices them out loud he makes you feel as if you were in the room and it was just a conversation between you, him, and the bonsai. And I'm learning all kinds of new tricks I'm getting all kinds of new ideas. Thank you bonsai heirloom for this channel

      Before I became disabled I was an avid gardener. After thirty or so year, I had planned on learning bonsai and begun to study it. Life had other plans. To say I loved my plants is not an exaggeration. To me they had a presence which I found both humbling and healing. To watch a plant grow from seed or seedling to maturity, the emergence of new leaves, the opening of a blossom, the emergence of fruit, the end of the plants lifecycle taught me things about myself which I still carry with me. It certainly helped me deal with the suddenness and severity of my disability, as well as other hardships we all experience as part of being human.

    In my younger days of Bonsai growth, I was able to go to the local nurseries and get all their "ugly" potted plants for a song. Then they caught on and I had to work for them to be able to afford the raw materials. I haven't worked on any for over thirty years now. My wife is telling me to get my behind a moving to start up again. Like your channel and I will keep coming back to enjoy your work with you. Stay safe.

      You and I have the same strategy! At bonsai auctions, I go for the trees that look like they have potential instead of the very nice looking ones. I hope you will start doing bonsai again! It is a great hobby!

    • @iamshredder3587
      @iamshredder3587 7 месяцев назад +4

      Yeah I used to be able to find old gnarled rootbound junipers and Chinese elms and other stock in the back of nursery's or some overgrown corner of their shade houses and get them for like one or two bucks, they'd be happy to get rid of them usually.
      Now it seems alot harder to find them or they hear bonsai and want an arm and a leg for them, or slap em in a bonsai pot themselves roughly without proper training or anything and call them bonsai and charge a premium. Which is always disappointing.
      That said though there does seem to be more good quality pre-bonsai stock around my area than there used to be too. That's had some initial work done and don't tend to have all the problems that nursery stock can have like reverse taper and all so ita a positive i guess. But I do miss that sort of a treasure hunt vibe I'd get before and finding those hidden raw gems.

If I manage to succeed in the early stages, my tree could be in another's care, as is your sublime Juniper.

    I love the bonsai tree. My mother had 2 for over 40 years, one old and one she created herself out of 5 oak seedlings on a hill orientation. Both lived in the garden near her bedroom window. Within a month of her passing away both trees began to falter and 6 months later had died completely. I took the to a specialist who said they were both very healthy but were mourning my mother. So so sad. I have enjoyed your video and will certainly consider getting one myself

    Beautiful lines in the deadwood, it really draws the eyes. Amazing that it has survived 500 years. I would be afraid to even touch it.

    Hey Mister Bonsai :D
    That Juniper looks gorgeous, especially on the two outer sides where the tree rotates so beautifully and the depth is very nice to see.

    Beautiful! Horticultural is my true passion. It's the class I got an 125% in school. It's what I wanted to do as a profession. That was until my mom told me I'd never make any money in it and couldnt do it for a living. With that I lost all interest in it and all ambition. I do love watching other ppl love it.

    I loved the way you attacked those roots. That trunk is amazing, she will turn out beautiful!
    I much prefer Pumice over Perlite, It's more expensive, but well worth the price. Thank you so much.

    Absolutely beautiful, I have just started my Bonsai learning, I like to say to friends, I'm getting on my Bonsai.
    That tree is, glorious, wow the way you fashioned the tree is remarkable.
    For one, to find art like that in the wild is wonderful.
    Beautiful Bonsai.

    Thanks for the lessons, I love my bonsais. Old ones 35 and 20yrs, not the best at shaping. But good at the care.

    I enjoyed this video so much and am so glad I found this channel. You are an excellent teacher. I discovered bonsai as a child while looking at a book on Japanese art (I love Hokusai). Longwood Gardens has a wonderful collection. I’m no longer physically able to visit them but I can see my favorite trees in my mind. They now have a collection of azaleas as bonsai, which I haven’t seen in person, but the pictures of them in bloom are breathtaking. When I was able to garden I always used fish product to feed my plants. People would on his lunch my gardens were and I’m quite sure the fish fertilizer was the reason…and of course, talking to them!
