Deadwood Part 1

Deadwood in bonsai is a design characteristic that draws us into the aesthetic of a composition; it creates the feeling of age, drama, and represents the strife a tree experiences as it attempts to survive in the natural environment. Understand the unique qualities of deadwood for various species and methodologies we use to go about creating it in bonsai.

Always liked this guy's energy. Got me going on bonsai. I killed everything:/

[@SuperPeleke]

Lol. Watching this guy and trying bonsai is like watching LeBron James and trying basketball. It's not the same result.

[@utahnick]

@@SuperPeleke Lol you're not wrong. I hope to get more into in the future, still like watching bonsai videos and learning more until then

[@makeshiftmonk]

Patience is key to bonsai so good on you for doing research first my friend!! Ryan Neil is awesome and I love his work and attitude about Bonsai!!!! Keep watching him as he is a monster in American Bonsai and Bonsai world wide for that matter!!!!! :::=^)

[@Gabriel-dm1du]

Ur not alone ive killed my fair share of trees too 😂

Just part of the process unfortunately you have to learn this way. I don't think that no one can say this hasn't happened to them when pursuing bonsai. Keep going learning and once you start to see how you can improve the health of the trees and start seeing results the more you will wanna learn and pursue it even more.

Nice bonsai♪

[@whipey]

Great vid! Kept hearing "Bone-sai" caught me every time ;D

[@HAJUBONSAI]

Great....

[@mcbean1]

hot take, but I draw the line at using power tools to create deadwood, something about it doesn't sit with me right, sort of like using too much photoshop on a photo.

When did deadwood become a major "esthetic component" of bonsai? Was it as important in previous centuries?

[@sohamdeshpande6595]

Ever since they started collecting yamadori I’d think

[@ckb1137]

any word on teleperion farms? I know they were in the range of the fire which started near elk lake. I hope everything is fine for them.

[@kylepurvis6231]

Roger The Shrubber Yes sadly I heard from one of our Face book admins that they were decimated by the fires, lost all their buildings , home everything. So sad they are such an asset to American bonsai! There is a go fund me page set up for them. Hopefully someone will get an update, and pass it on.

[@ckb1137]

@@kylepurvis6231 damn, that's awful :(
I'll spread the word about the go fund me

[@dennisbeers]

I can't stand Bone-zi and not Ban-sai! But lovely video!
