It actually isn't we would never carry something like that that's why you have so hard of a time finding us what you think about us is so wrong it allows us freedom to search for the next divine specimen right in front of you and you're none the wiser. What you think I'm talking about?

Thats the problem with all the bonsai channels, they dont update on videos

@@scherpebocht Herons Bonsai does frequent follow ups (and peter chan is the Bonsai Master in the english speaking world - or at least on YT ;D )

Thank you Nigel, It sure was, nothing beats nature.. for me!

Nice trees

Exiting.. Keep us updated!

Thanks mikbonsai... we use some coarser substrate for collected material and for yamadori always. I would say we use 10-20% of chipped bark as organic maximum.. have a great day, until next time.

Thanks for the addition information on your mix.

Bonsai Talk please i just got a yamadori what are the mix soil are you using? Type of cat litter?and?

Thanks Null... Bonsai Vikings!

Tout pour l'art mon ami

Thanks man! Let's do this! I have my eye on your channel dude... waiting here ;)

Hehe, i enjoy your sense of humor.. I really like that idea of planting 2 trees for every 1 tree one digs up. Welcome to bonsai talk Jon Axel, let's grow!

If enough of the original root system is left intact and the hole re-filled after taking the specimen a new tree should propagate back through the soil and new growth should appear the following spring bring a new tree. But planting trees is always a good practice as well. 😉👍

chipi1972 We make something out of nothing sometimes in bonsai, to achieve that is a good feeling, welcome to Bonsai Talk Chip!

Thanks Patricia! I have been thinkin about making a video like that for some time..time is money but the future looks bright! Let's grow!

You are cool dude mr. Welcome to BT!

Grazie amico mio, my name is Johan.

Yoo, hope it worked out if already collected!

Same im collecting an oak also

@@Nscap good luck with your oak collection!

Oaks are very hard to keep alive ! Good luck with your collecting! Wait till they are actively growing

Unorganic is the way to cultivate good bonsai rootsystems if you ask me. Add about 20% Bark if you must. I'm glad you found us!

Thanks, The birch is soon bursting in leafs i can tell you!

How ya doin' Ian Hilton? Try chinese bonsai wire, a.k.a black bonsai wire made from aluminium. Copper wire is expensive indeed compared to that!

Obscene Vegetable Matter Exactly!

Pinjebark then?

Makes my day to hear that..thank you Yamid Barbosa.. share, comment, sub and like for more will come in the future, Let's grow!

Thanks Jesse! Be sure to like, share, and subscribe for much more to come...

Whats up Rafael.. We do this to minimize weight and because that soil is not needed for the plant since the distance between the collecting site and our homes are not so far apart. Let's say this was in the mountains, and we were along way from home.. we would have "packed" these trees in a whole different way with more care and preventive solutions like (Extra water, alot of support with tape and some construction, sphagnum moss around entire rootball, soil etc)

With time my friend, with time... it can be good.. The birch is really getting there.. we are waiting for spring so badly now!

Thank you so much Tonny.. More will come soon!

Kent Allen Welcome to Bonsai Talk! Kittylitter indeed, it consists of 100% diatomite. The brand is called Coop X-tra here in scandinavia that we use for YAMADORI. Otherwise we use 33% akadama, 33% lavarock, 33% pumice.

Do you use that mix for all varieties of trees or just deciduous trees? Thanks

Hello there france..merci beaucoup !

Yes sir, pressure treated lumber.. and, Soilmix is : Catlitter non-clump, same as diatomite + some bark pieces.

The are sleeping now, we will take a better look at them when spring comes around. Peace.

We have some really interesting yamadori stories over the past years.... belive us!

Brian Lehmkuhl hahaha

Yeah it sure is man! Me and my friend, Eric we decided just to let them grow wild this whole year, styling will perhaps be done next summer 2018. Can tell you that all of our trees are alive and kicking, full growth!

looks like it will look great in the meantime. ^^ oak leaves really speak to the grower.

Oak leafs are beautiful in shape, perhaps little on the big side, but nice anyway.. Also oaks are unusual as quaility bonsai!

that is generally the case it seems. my red oak is about 30cm tall and most of the leaves stay around 2.5cm. im pretty happy with how it forms its canopy even when some of the leaves do get a bit large. im hoping it continues to stay in good proportions.

First of all, are you subscribed? I cant see you are, you should, let's grow! Yamadori is allowed with the county, state permission or/and the landowners blessing permission. Knife holders in public places is be deemed to be legitimate in Sweden. Hunters, outdoor people and scouts will have a knife with them when they go out into the woods and land and craftsmen may wear a knife in connection with professional practice here.

Hej Appreciate your reply. İ have just subscribed your channel as well. İ wish you all the best. Cheers.

I think you can get them at cheap at ebay and wish.

Whats up Nacho Nacho! Thanks! We use catlitter right of the bag when we have collected material..takes to much time to sift it and we have had great success with that over the years, but you can definitely be as careful as you want!

Bonsai Talk thanks to you for share ! Hope to see more ! like and subscribe

You are most welcome here! For collected material and trees in training = Non-clump catlitter (Diatomaceous earth also known as diatomite) I use the mix 90% catlitter 10% chipped bark.

Bonsai Talk Thanks :)

This tree has been featured alot here on BT.. SEARCH and WATCH amongst videos... also check the community tab.

Make sure you watch our other content / videos.. *especially* the MAINTENANCE, STYLING videos and you will see how it's done.

@@BonsaiTalk okay thank you :D

@@BonsaiTalk btw yeah I know how to give movement to the bonsai but in this particular case, where you find a quite mature plant with an apparently rigid and straight body then it's supposed to stay in that position or can you still manage to bend this kind of branches?

@@PhotoSlash Often of times you dig up only specific trees that has natural movement and bends... There is techniques to bending straighter trunks, but it's complicated and needs to be perfomed over time to get the effect.

"Ohh, How the little trees would weep if they knew how the old tree suffered"

PREGUNTA TU SABES QUE ES LO QUE LE PONEN ANTES DE PONER EL ARBOL?

Whats up Mauro!

Thanks man!

Depends on who you are asking. For this specific tree it was not any "value", it rather was a design flaw. Root-over-rock style is awesome tho if done right..

@@BonsaiTalk thanks for answering! Another thought, id love to see what is possible to accomplish in say 5 years, From collected material..it would help Debunk the fear that most have. Thinking they cant achieve much in A relatively short time...thanks!! Love your videos!!

Patience my friend..

Whats up Gil! Let's talk bonsai.. Reconsidering the "Catlitter" It's actually a big difference between commercial catlitter in EU and the US. This specific brand that we use is 100% organic burnt clay (Diatomaceous earth) and nothing else. All those things you are implying and saying, trust me.. We have already thought about it, and perfected it. There is a reason why we work and do what we do, when we do it. One other thing, bringing back some original soil is ok idea, but it only fills purposes that we can adjust IF needed, that is the risk of eliminating finer roots in the yamadoriprocess *OR* not getting healthy percentages of mycorrhiza (wich is only really nescessary for Pine, larch and Oak. We know this. Reason why we use big containers is to captialize on the current rootsystem, and there is not a chance that we will get rot rot with 100% in-organic matter, thats the actually one of the reasons you NEVER should even consider using organic matter if you have good water control. Thanks for the sharp observations... Welcome to BT also!

Hey! In the future yes..

Hey Markim Zakaria! Im glad you found me, make sure you sub, like and share Bonsai Talk! - Best and cheapest way to get Bonsai soil is to buy Catlitter. Cat poop sand.. you can try Coop X-tra Kattsand if you live in Sweden. Make sure it's non-clump, you dont want clumps! Good Luck!

Thanks man.
