Jaw-dropping scenery Ben. We get nothing even close to that in the south of the UK. Simply 'Beautiful' - and the Yamadori look pretty spectacular as well !
I went up to the Gifford Pinchot NF last weekend and trudged through the first snow fall of the year to do some Yamadori hunting. I’d encourage you to go to the Big Lava Bed next fall, just north of the Columbia Gorge near goose lake. Various species of conifers that are old and and grow slow due to the lava. I came home with 4 beautiful trees. Difficult terrain so make sure to go with someone if you do. I’d be more than happy to show you around . It’ll be worth it!
Yea know what would be really nice. If you guys brought some seedlings up with you and were able to plant a few as you harvest. Just a thought. Love your videos. Best of luck in the future!
Love the video Could you explain why you dug in the fall instead of spring Not criticizing, just a bit of a beginner and want to know if the survival rate is just as good in the fall or winter as it is spring
I don't belive in Yadori, a bonsaist who loves nature shouldn't be taking beautiful trees from nature just to keep them for his own pleasure. It's better to add a beautiful tree to the world by growing it from a seed or cutting than ripping nature from one by taking it for yourself. Also, on a technicall level, I don't see the point on taking a wild tree to put it on a pot, sure it is easier than start a new tree from scratch but there is a lot more merit as an artist on working the tree trough years to make it a truly beautiful bonsai. If I was a stone carver I wouldn't go to nature looking for interesting stones to present them as my job. Don't want to be rude, I'm just giving my opinion

Bonsai: the hobby that brings together all the people who ever watched Karate Kid when they were younger. =)
Closet architect becomes engineer but can’t help but create bonsai to let out his inner architect 😉 hahaha
Great, 🙏🙏🙏

Chicken of the woods mushroom
Is it not illegal to take trees from a National Forest?
Nope we get transplant permits before each dig

Our temperate climate is perfect for fall collecting. Rain rain rain until January where we get a couple days of snow max
Lookin like a skunk bro no offense
none taken, yep this was not a fruitful trip.

Hearing these guys pronounce it as “bawn-zai” feels like fingernails on a chalkboard. It’s “bone-sai”!
