This was a unique an informative video. I don't remember seeing a video of a nursery tour with a pro and what he would do in a nursery considering nursery stock. You guys should do that again (more). Very cool video guys.

I am a frequent visitor to this nursery! Yes, most of my visits ends up with me leaving empty handed but, getting my hands in soil and the delicious aroma of the plants, themselves makes it worth the time. Thanks for another educational and entertaining presentation, Ben. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

I just bought a $70 Austrian, it's grafted, Eric didn't mention but a lot of Nursery trees have a graft, the interesting thing is there are 2 little branches coming out from the 4+ inch trunk. Thinking of twisting some of the Austrian branches to get them gnarly, then gin them once they take and keep the little branches below the graft. Don't know what pine it is yet.

A nursery in the north west has so much more than a nursery in the southeast. But there are not a lot of people digging through looking for the bonsai material. Not that there is a lot but you can get lucky.

What kind of tree did Eric recommend at the beginning of the vet the video? He said it was a main state of the bonsai or clubs there in Oregon

I appreciate the attempt but your professional was zero percent helpful. Just saying this isn’t good doesn’t help. Maybe be more articulate and state what your looking for, why something is good or bad. Nice try but needs work. Thx
