Bjorn, Thank you for this lovely video and for making this significant donation to the National Museum. You are a national treasure and I am so sad to see you leave.

What a great tour through this beautiful and historical collection, and how nice to see one of your trees there now as well!

Thank you for the tour of the Arboretum, it is kind of you to donate such an amazing specimen to the nation.

Amazing video! Thanks for taking us in your adventures!!

I visited here in 2022 when I visited NYC and DC. Interesting bus ride as the area is rough as but once you go through the gates to the Arboretum it’s like paradise. Such a massive collection of amazing trees

Visiting the Goshin was in my wish list before I die. With your tree, I add one more reason. Kudos from Spain.

It’s bittersweet letting go that tree, but it was going to a great place for all to enjoy. Awesome Bjorn!

This was mesmerising to watch! Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

That was a pleasure to watch ❤ many thanks.

Just an amazing collection. You should be honored to have yours added.

There's something surreal about seeing this museum through Bjorn's eyes (camera) as he prepares to leave the US. Also very cool how Little Lonely Doug was the first plants to arrive at Eisei-En, and now one of the last to leave. Full Circle Journey for both Bjorn and the garden. So sad to see him leaving but super exciting to see him on his new adventure!

Thank you Bjorn for such an amazing video!

So Japan gifted the tree that stood in the city that was bombed by the us to the us. What a move. And now Japan receives a bonsai master from the us.

Great story. Thank you for the donation. I’ll look forward to seeing it next time I make it up to DC! 🙏🏽 🪴

Bjorn you are an amazing guy and will be greatly missed in the US .. I will definitely make a trip up to visit the museum ❤

Been following your channel for years and since I live in DC and have visited and photographed the national bonsai garden many times I cant wait to go and see this wonderful tree!

Amazing tree. Incredible gift. Never been so anxious to go back to DC. Can’t say I love the placement with the writing behind Doug. I’m sure he won’t be there forever.

Thank you for your donation to this already stunning collection. I can't wait for an opportunity to travel down from Ontario to see it for myself.

Great to see your tree in the collection. A few years back I was able to see our family friends tree and my uncle’s tree at the museum. Ironically, they were displayed right next to each other.

Fantastic video, Bjorn. That was a great tour of the National Arboretum's amazing Bonsai trees. Congrats (and Thanks) for adding Lil' Doug to this world class collection.

Congratulations on this accomplishment, very cool to see some of your work put into the national spotlight!

I love watching your videos. That’s a really fitting place for the tree. I wish you and your family all the best in Japan 👊👊👊

Awesome video (and bonsai collection)! So great that you were able to donate a tree.

Thanks for the Donation Bjorn.

Nothing compares to yamadori with their distinctive features.

La vidéo est très intéressante, un grand merci à vous!

Wonderful outcome for little lonely Doug 😊

Árvores incriveis, com histórias incriveis. Esse museu em Washington DC é o paraíso do Bonsai. Parabéns por sua importante contribuição.

Love it ❤ It's on my bucket list ... 📋

Hoping we could see those trees again. Specially that massive Turnado tree wich I've been looking forward to see always everytime you have a new upload video. Good luck bjurn and hoping to see more of you japan video...

Pretty epic and amazing there.

Stellar video as usual, thank you Bjorn, what a great story to tell 😍👌👍

Beautiful content, I really enjoyed watching this today. Thank you

Absolute wonder.

Notification Gang! Hope all is progressing well Bjorn ❤

Greetings, bonsai hobbyist friends from Indonesia 🙏

@8:08 this tree looks like 2 cranes in flight 😻 best wishes for the future! HugsfromNYC 🍎

Amazing

Interesting story about the bald cypress I saw on display. I think it was donated by Vaughn Banting who started bonsai at age 6 at his family’s nursery in New Orleans. Sadly the Vietnam war interrupted his life and later he developed brain cancer most likely due to agent orange. I remember a story of John Naka visiting Vaughn in New Orleans and as they sat in his back yard Vaughn commented on the noise the cicadas were making and mr naka said “aren’t they beautiful “. To me the Japanese are an interesting people, hence my Japanese wife. I hope to someday visit your nursery in Kyoto. If your ever in Okinawa visit Gold hall, you’ll be amazed at the bonsai there. Cheers.

👏 AMAZING!

I lived 5 minutes from that museum for 9 years.

what sure was lonely, was to say goodbye
