After our collection trip, Dave gives us a full bonsai bench tour of his amazing trees.

they look like the ghostbusters of bonsai
Nice!! Who ya gonna call?!!
I swear you are my brother by another mother, I thought I was the only one who gets excited over cool rocks!
Great collection of rocks. Nice walk in the woods. Really nice trees Dave has. Great video!
Good morning from Australia 🇦🇺
I love the big screen direction sheet. Looks just like mine!
Awesome place to find trees and rocks. Lovely Bonsai Dave, well done!!
Wow those were some very nice Bonsai. I really liked that first Yew👍
Watching from Philippines Sir Nigel.
Great video! Lovely collecting area, Daves trees were great, and plenty of Aye's!
Wow, just wow! Maybe now that I’m in the KW club Dave will be my friend too!?! 🤣 Awesome video Nigel! 🐦💙
awesome adventure. Amazing rocks you got.
Dave has an enviable collection. It is always fun to traipse through the woods.
Great video Nigel. I absolutely love exploring the forest for collecting. Dave's got some nice trees there, nice work on that deadwood, love the 2 live veins that intersect! Thanks guys!
Thanks 👍
That tall rock you collected is spectacular.
Thanks David, now I have to find a way to keep it upright!!
@@TheBonsaiZone You could get some potter's clay and make a casting of the stone's base. Enlarge it a bit by wiggling to allow for approximately 10% shrinkage. if you were going to tie into a pot make sure to add some tie holes. i have done this successfully.
@@davidjohnson7508 Thanks David!!
the music makes this feel like a video game. nice touch
Wow your buddy has some nice stuff, very inspiring. But I can’t believe the man with all the gadgets didn’t bring a bag to wrap the root ball in!
Luckily we weren't far from the car, he did wrap the roots then!
Well,thank you for this very realistic outing! Good to see such a old woodforest,endless and natural.
Felt like actually being there.
Glad everyone came back with something and a good feeling anyhow! Thanks for the effort and sharing.
I like this mission.
Awesome
What a wonderful collection Dave has ! Enjoy seeing these lovely trees !
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
so those are what roads look like in ontario!
Those are the good ones!
Nice 👍👍
So many amazing finds :O
Wow Haha! Yes even the Jack pine grow like that in swampy conditions. Very nice collection Dave has!
I use the same navigation system. So far I haven't gotten lost much, so it is working. Ecological too!
Thanks Liisa!
Looks like you had a fun day, Nigel! really need to get some yamadori time this week.
I really enjoy and appreciate these backyard tours! They always give me new ideas to work on.
What a delightful video. How nice to be able to go somewhere and collect trees for bonsai. Your friend, Dave, is quite the bonsai artist. Love his collection - such a great variety of small and large trees.
those rocks remind me of seastacks!
Lovely forest and bog for collecting trees! 💚
And you found the Rabbit rock! Upright like a snowrabbit about to fight another or just peering to see the foes..
Dave you have some magnificent trees; thanks for taking us Nigel!
I'm loving this, luckily we didnt see any cute little teddy bears. Nice rock you got there, definitely works as Penjing landscape.
Thanks Zombie!
Thanks for sharing. Really appreciate you making these videos.
Seeing the countryside in Canada is always a joy. There is so much beauty in nature and you share it very well. Dave's bonsai are great, too. I really admire that lilac of his. Wonderful video !
That was some serious mosquito country you were in! Very beautiful, for sure.
And Daggum, Dave has an awesome (and tidy!) collection!
Yes, it was a little late to go collecting, the black flies were out full force, but at least they weren't biting!
I was really inspired by Dave's collection!!
Saw that cool orange lichen the other day on a stump.
That looked like a fantastic adventure with great finds!
Also, Dave has a really nice collection!
I love the collected tree and rock Nigel! And David's trees are amazing, he has such an eye for beautiful bonsai. The one next to the amur maple looks like a ballroom dancer dancing.
I hope one day I can have bonsai benches everywhere like that!
Smashing!
New subscriber sir and new friend also. Bouggies bonsai
Wow! This was amazing. I wish I could also go on a similar trip some day. Though v don't have such forest area around
Wow that's some serious gear, I would have showed up in crocs, shovel and a small pruner hahaha
You were not kidding about the black flies, they are buzzing around the camera
Yes, lots of black flies, but they weren't biting! It was quite wet in some areas, so we mainly stuck to the trails!
dave seems cool
Cool as ice!
i am so jelly on the pots mostly coz the ones the sell here have no holl's on them xD

Short comment here from Denmark (so please excuse my spelling and weird wording) - read it as well meant comments.
Really nice video Nigel. Love the atmosphere you have on the trip. However, I must say that I would never dig up yamadori as shown in the video. Light debris in the tree, yes, but to tear it up before you have dug around - never. The anchoring of the tree on the backpack looks very unstable and could potentially destroy important roots. Wrapping the roots would stabilize and prevent evaporation. However the tree was wonderful - it will definitely make a great bonsai. Again I really enjoyed your video.
I have seen the tree about a month ago and it is doing well!!
cool video
Looks like you've got some sun today. The Red Trillium took my breath away. Who knew?? Incredible! Have to search for information on this beauty. The forest looked much like the North. A really enjoyable video. I guess Dave was the only one who took out a beauty of a trunk, Maybe one day I'll see how it's developed. Dave has a great collection too. A million thanks for this exploring.
Thanks Danuta, it was a fun day out!!
A good trip. . .My family visited the US National Bonsai and Penjing museums today in DC, a first for me! Really great experience.
Nigel aganst bears part 1 hehe
👍
sounds like starwars
Where can we see Michaels tree? Did it live and become a master piece?
Is the size you decide on collection only decided by the size? Or if it is small and old would the roots be too long/established?
You have to decide if the tree can be collected successfully! When collecting you are looking for a tree that mother nature has done much of the work for the tree to become miniature!
So that as a natural cedar over rock growth?
Hello Nigel, nice vlog! Wondering how Dave over winters his trees in their pots. I don't have a greenhouse so have been healing them in over the winter but that wouldn't work with nice pots. Thanks, Mark
This is awesome!
Do you ever bring a metal detector on your trips
Great trip Nigel, i have a question : have you ever come across a wild bear on a field trip ???
I haven't, we have seen signs of bears, but luckily no animals!!
Its called a Wake Robin!
Thanks!!!!
Hey Nigel, how come you didn't collect any tree(s)? Maybe I missed your explanation in the video but I'd be interested in why you wouldn't get any. :)
i somappreciate going along on your video field trips. love that tower rock! do you spray the rocks like that to try and keep the lichen alive? that orange lichen looked like a star trek planet prop!
Btw a question..... Don't u guyz get worried that a snake 🐍 might bite u 😱
Luckily we only have one venomous snake in Ontario and it is shy and stays away from humans. I've never seen one in my life!
Dave is pissed and jealous the whole walk through the woods after loosing that tree to Michael.
What's the rooting hormone do you use?
I haven't used any so far, I probably should!!
If only there existed a tool that could protect you from bears. Something handheld that goes bang.
Maybe one day Canada will be FREE.

It's wild no matter where it is the large disgusting rodents called deer are destroying any thing with in reach. They are so over populated. The first thuja or chamacyparis you dug should have had so much more green on it. That said at least their in the woods in this case.
bruce got spruce
Now Nigel got Spruce!!
So funny, you love beautiful trees but drive the world's ugliest car. Oh the irony....
I love the Micra, I think it's awesome!!
