This is the coolest/boxwood bonsai I’ve ever seen. Literally. Especially if you’re really trying to create what full grown trees look like, in nature. I’ve been to the angel oak, in SC. This tree is well on its way to replicating it. I’d also just like to say that I think boxwoods are almost the only species you could use for these oak styles. Or the most convincing I guess I could say. Great work Mirai!!
Oh my goodness Ryan and Mirai community HELLO. I've been missing you, as I've been distracted as life has been zooming bye. Much love and appreciation to the vision, wisdom and boundless beauty of Mirai. Ode to the trees, the growers, sculpture and our many wild ways.
Yay!!! I’ve been watching all of the old episodes over and over. I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I hope you put out a new one soon!!! Thanks for reading my mind! 😊
I've been talking about this for several years now! I wanted to create an Angel Oak Bonsai for years. I mean come on! This is awesome! I even have a painting of this tree. I travel down to John's Island, South Carolina every year on vacation. That oak tree is a beast. I just love everything about Charleston, South Carolina. Thank you, Ryan.🎉
Next aspiration for Ryan or anybody else out there: to make a bonsai version of the top 10 world's oldest trees. I believe the oldest is a bristlecone pine named Methuselah and it is said to be 4,853 years old. If I could only bonsai replicate one of them, boy would I be proud. Keep on dreamin y'all! Create and stay beautiful! And you know how some people say chef's kiss? Well, you know, since it's Ryan, let's say "Ryan's Kiss ".
Don't be afraid to try to save a broken boxwood branch. I have a really awesome green mountain that I turned oak-inspired, and one of the branches broke 3/4 in half. It was a very important branch so I bent it back until it met up again, and taped it closed with scotch tape. It's doing very well.
Lived in South Carolina, and have taken my kids to see Angel Oak a couple of times. Hope to make it up to Oregon to meet you one day soon. Fantastic demonstration !
I see you have a new look Ryan! Its cool! I may only be a teen right now, but I'm growing some live oak seedlings and plant to style them like that classic old isolated oak appearance! I use clip and grow for my bonsai, but I might use wire for certain bonsai for the future.
We have an ancient yellow wood near where we live with trunks that are bowed down and which have developed root systems of their own. It’s very interesting to see that characteristic displayed in a bonsai.
I have been working a few Kingsville Boxwood inspired by the old Live Oaks here in Texas. Great to have that concept verified with this video. Mine are not quite ready to make a video about them yet, not just 'cuz they aren't large field grown stock trees... more because I am working out a few growth and training steps that will help get a younger boxwood into a more upward state first before training. Great video demo!
damn, i don't know how long it has been since i last saw a video of mirai, but amazing tree and love the new tattoo! :D cool change :D Love your video... as always!
Hey Ryan. Awesome tribal Tattoo when did you handle the Pain? How your Boy Doung? Getting into Bonsai too? Very Awesome design Bonsai Tree. The is a Very Large old Tree on my way home to Toledo,Ohio like what you Designed. Peace Ryan. Very long time Fan .
love the emulation of north american tree! Thanks Ryan, you and Mirai folks inspired me to make a tribute video(s) hope you check them out. Title- Ode to Ryan Neil & Nigel Saunders. Thanks again
In Ohio we can’t find trees like this there is almost no nurseries in my area I’m left with Lowe’s and ordering online so my luck of finding trees with any bit of a decent trunk or any age is slim to none
Such a great looking tree!!

The lecture is more impressive than the tree work to me. Respect on both ends.

Amazing demonstration and great tree it does really look like a tiny huge tree.
Great work Ryan👍👍👍
