    You’re right. I just started this hobby this year to have a 100 years old tree is a blessing. I’m in my 70’s so most of my trees that I started will be small when I leave this planet. But I will have fun shaping it in the process.
    Take care and have a wonderful week.🙏🙏🙏

      I just started this hobby too. Unlike my visual art profession (mixed-media using oils/pigment/photography), I feel like working on trees gets my hands, and my creativity i suppose, on to something that will last longer than me (hopefully), and continue to thrive with someone else's hands/creativity. There's something metaphysically palpable, knowing that what i'm working on is almost like working on 'time' itself (again -if my trees survive).

      I too am a painter now that I retired from being a graphic designer. Been an amateur photographer for over 40 years .
      Bonsai is another form of creating. I’m in my 70’s and will not see my trees develop but give me great joy to take nature and create a style based on my imagination.

    Seeing that tree makes we giddy with wanderlust to head out to the high Sierras and check out my old hunting grounds. I wonder if I still have my old maps. Maybe underneath the bed in that spiderwebed covered box. I tell all my friends to go to your channel. Take care and stay safe.

    I really appreciate your work, I did not realize that I was familiar with it before knowing this channel, as with my research work, I work with a lot of MKS/Newport devices!
    I have a question concerning bonsai in a terrarium. I have to say that I quite like terraria, but I did the mistake to start a ficus from a really small growth directly in a terrarium. I realized that the egg-shaped ones are too small to hold one. My question is: do you have such a bonsai in an enclosed environment, and which kind do you recommend to use?

    • @bonsaiheirloom
      @bonsaiheirloom  Месяц назад +1

      Yes! I am the same Milton that founded Newport and New focus, eventually acquired by MKS.
      If you insist on a terrarium of a given size, then you have to identify a tree that fits into that size terrarium…You can generalize to ferns/moss and houseplants to fit into the terrarium size glass container.
