This is a fantastic idea. The submitted photos and questions are brilliant and your discussion about their potential fascinating. I'm sure that viewers submitting photos will stimulate discussion. It's the old story of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" isn't it? Great video.
1. I tried that a few month ago, with a picture of a 7gal maple. 2. "You" told me to show you what i was planning to do with it. 3. I sent you a picture of a maple bonsai and another picture of my maple with suggestions on where to cut... 4. You thought the example picture was my maple and just told me that my maple was almost ready for a bonsai pot....even tho i had explained what the pictures were and my plans, which let's me know you didn't even read the email...
Milton, you are at your best when you suggest possibilities. Not every project has to be or become exhibition-quality. I have seen enthusiastic young people drift away from bonsai clubs because of the feedback they receive from older members. This new feature is useful and, I think, interesting to viewers. It goes along well with selected responses from viewers.
Doing the Q&Asis a really nice thing to do. As soon as I saw the last one, air layering was the only way to go. I have seen so many of these over the years. I had a large rock that has S curves and grew a stick to follow along. Sold that one for a nice sum. Side note from one of my earlier comments on some Bristlecone pines. I learned later from a horticulturist friend who told me that their main stressor was the soil make up. As well as the weather. Old-school networking ❤. Love my sticks, waiting to see what they want to be is calming for me these days. Looking forward to my Redwoods growth. Enough rambling, take care and stay safe.
Where do I send picture for critique? I have a couple of trees I’ve harvested from construction job sites this year I’d like to have someone look at. Thanks!
Great video. I like some of ur mentions on design. To chris from south jersey i would also stand that tree up and look at what kind of movement u can get out of that tree dont just look at it hunched over like that. And to poor bob that got ripped with the poor standard chinese elm (now called the dollar sign tree)😂😂😂 u gotta ground layer that tree aka air layer to get better roots and change the angle or direction of that tree and not make it a $ sign so much but it does have good branch placement. Fertilize that in the spring with a bunch of osmocote the pink bottle and it will take off. Great episode and this is a great idea for the channel.
@christophermance8035 the only thing with a trunk like that is now to cut back to eventually form taper into the tree. Im close by u i live in si and theres prob nobody out here by me that is even into this hobby but one day i may try and start something out here. I kno theres a few places in nj but out where i am nothing but a dump u can see from space🤣
Milton, very good show. My Japanese maple I fear I destroyed with a low and brave chop. Spring is my dear hope for that 12 year old tree. My alpine spruce is doing well, and my ficus makes cuttings every time I trim it, without fail. By far it is by far the most forgiving. Now, I have too many! I was also very successful in starting many seeds from my golden chain tree, and am looking forward to those as Bonsai, being mindful of the toxicity of that plant. It is still beautiful to me, and I have no small children to worry about eating the seeds. Did you know you must also be cautious when woodturning laburnum? Thank you for encouraging our experiments and providing good guidance.
As a relative beginner I enjoy bonsai and the concept of emulating trees in nature. What confuses me is when I view bonsai that are perfectly manicured, many of these by very popular bonsai artists. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone is entitled to style a tree as they see fit but many of these bonsai resemble nothing in nature but much closer to topiary.
This type of explanation is so more informative for us viewers with limited experience with your red lines it sense and we can look in a way we haven’t before. Then take this simple method and apply it to trees of structure that we can compare it to. 👍🦘🇦🇺

You too
Thx
You’re doing a great job! Thank you! How can I email you??
Please send them to hello@bonsaiheirloom.com. Thank you!
The 'stick' people could possibly be potential literati masters.
Let us hope so....
🙂
This is great. It'll sting a little to hear the critique, but that's how we learn things. where do we send to, is it in the description?
I try to be constructive instead of being critical.,..thre is no right or wrong way...the owner's way is always the right way 🙂

Heyyyy, the Karate Kid was from New Jersey!

Milton, very good show.

Thanks fore the feedback....good to know about toxicity.
No workkes about Japanese maple...branches with emerge from the remaining nodes.
