Deciduous Favorites from the 2022 Pacific Bonsai Expo

In this video Andrew shares his favorite deciduous bonsai from the 2022 Pacific Bonsai Expo, that took place in Oakland, California on November 12-13, 2022 at the historic Bridgeyard. While there were many fantastic deciduous bonsai on display at the exhibit, these were a few that stuck out to us at RAKUYO. We finish the video by sharing a few bonsai that we were honored to display at this historic event, and preview the next Expo in 2024.
SAVE THE DATE! The next Pacific Bonsai Expo will take place in Oakland, California at the historic Kaiser Convention Center on Lake Merritt next to the Oakland Museum on October 25th-27th. The Pacific Bonsai Expo is the finest exhibition of bonsai in North America, and is quickly becoming an internationally recognized event for quality bonsai. It's a non-profit organization geared towards building a community that creates, maintains and displays outstanding quality of bonsai art. More info about the Pacific Bonsai Expo can be found here:

Excellent video Andrew. Thanks for sharing your favourite trees and your thoughts on any improvements. I'm sure the 2024 expo will be fantastic. It would be great to see some videos from you about preparing trees for shows please.

I kindly request more Bailey content

She’s starting to get less shy in front of the cameras!

[@napalpalbakala]

Nice video! Could you tell some tree history? Would be interesting.

[@rakuyobonsai]

The commemorative album for the 2022 expo has historical comments in many of the artist statements for the trees. I'll add more comments about history if I do another expo video

Bro, wear anything on your head, it's cold outside.

[@rakuyobonsai]

It was 20°F when we were filming… chilly day but the studio was too packed with trees to film there

[@yuriideneha9243]

The problem of preferring shorts but filming in 20°F
