Hey Dave, I enjoyed the tour. At 4:38 I don't think that is a Shagbark Hickory, since hickories have compound leaves, meaning each leaf has a set of 5 or more leaflets, and yours are single. I can't quite tell 100% but to me it looks a lot like American Hornbeam, which if true is actually a great native species for bonsai (def better than shagbark for bonsai), I have a few dozen big and small. If not A. Hornbeam then possibly Hophornbeam or a Birch of some sort (all three belong in the birch family anyway.)
@@DeciduousSnurb oh thanks! Thats really good to know! Yeah this was a collected tree so I couldn’t really be sure of the exact tree type. I’m not the best at tree identification. I made a video last year when I collected that tree here … ruclips.net/video/fyGhE8PQxJM/видео.html
@@dreamingofbonsai I went ahead and watched the video and left a like. I did see the full size Hickories, and after seeing you collecting the sapling/seedlings they looked all too familiar. I really think you've got some American Hornbeam going. As young seedlings, they often get those crooked twisty trunks which is great. If you get a chance to go back in spring I'd say it'd be worth it to get more for a forest or something, they're a great native for bonsai.
@@DeciduousSnurboh nice! Thanks for the detective skills, I really appreciate it the help identifying it. I did a bit of googling on the leaves and I think you are spot on with the American Hornbeam. I’ll be going back for sure in the spring and grab some more!
That ginkgo bonsai pot is awesome! The light blue will contrast well with the fall color. I don't mean to try and correct stuff all the time I'm just trying to help. That being said, at 10:18 you very well might have a swetgum seedling instead of a maple. The leaves of sweetgum look like maples, so next time you check on the little guy, if the leaf/bud arrangement on the stem is "opposite" then it's a maple, and if they are "alternate" then it likely is sweetgum, which is good for bonsai. I'm curious to find out if you get a chance. Also, with your bonsai near the open road, do you ever worry about someone...swiping your trees? I understand you might not have another option at the moment, but man I that would trigger my anxiety so bad if it was me. 😅
@@DeciduousSnurb Thanks! Yeah Jenna did a wonderful job on that pot. It sure does look amazing when the leaves turn yellow! I’m tempted to see if I can commission her for another bonsai pot in the coming months. She does amazing work. No worries at all I’ll take any updated tree identification help I can get. If it is a sweet gum that would make me so happy, I’ve been wanting to grow one of those for years. Also it would make sense because there is a sweet gum tree fairly close to where I pulled this out of a sidewalk. As far as being by the road yeah I do worry about trees getting swiped sometimes, so far so good that I’ve never had issues, but yeah until I fence it up I’ll just have to keep my faith in humanity 😄🤞!

pruning seedlings isnot really the way to go about taking care of the trees. theses are young trees that need allot of energy hence food to grown pruning them is taking their food away (less photosynthesis) and that will stunt their growth. prune mature or adult trees. quite frankly i have never seen anybody prune seedlings vigorously like this.
@@ericnyamu9981 Hi! Thanks so much for watching. I genuinely appreciate the feedback. Which of the seedings do you think were pruned too much? The Chinese elms, acacias, Eastern redbuds, dawn redwoods, mulberries, and apple trees grow back quite vigorously in the spring and summer when I prune them. One of the exceptions would be the apple tree at 3:35 that I pruned and repotted to late in the season. Again I appreciate the feedback!
Nice tour of the trees. They are getting ready for the winter sleep.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks! Yup the growing season goes by so fast!
Thanks for the tour Dave, very enjoyable.
@@bonsaiexpression Thanks, Christopé! I love the trees in their autumn colors.
@dreamingofbonsai the best time of year. They put on a show of colour before going to sleep.
Thanks for the update. I like that ginkgo pot.
@@BonsaiNorthwest thanks! Yeah I’m tempted to commission another one soon! Jenna did amazing work on it.
Great video Dave nice update fella 👊👊
@@Bonsaicrazy thanks, Andy! Gotta love those fall colors!
Dang, those are some nice projects you have in front of you!
I’m diggin it
@@baldyeti Thanks I appreciate it. So many projects and so little time! Luckily bonsai is a long game hobby! 😆😃

@@dreamingofbonsai So, Jenna, is she a local potter?
