Another great masterclass from sensei David! 👍👏 🐦💙

I love your videos so much, today i particularly loved the little side stories about your teachers in Japan! I inherited an old ficus bonsai from my grandma and you inspired me to take up the art. It’s an amazing hobby and it’s been giving me so much pleasure and peace of mind ❤

P.S. I love the tangents. That is one of my favorite parts of bonsai tutorials like this. Give me history, lore, and theory. I want it all, not just the bare "how to". I do not practice bonsai to be succinct or quick. I do it to slow down and enjoy. So bring on the tangents.

I've never seen that ground cover before, it looks really good with the moss!!

This man is very knowledgeable and funny

It’s always great to hear people with a lot of experience chat even if you already know some of the material. There was more than a few helpful hints and historical facts!

I could listen to you all day David, thanks for taking the time to teach all this, great video as always!

Very informative video and very interesting anecdotes. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video, love the master's frank disclosure of his secret fertilizer recipe.

Just beginning my journey, but have gathered enough trees to make my wife nervous over just a few months! I would buy more, but I can’t hide trees in the garage like the nice tools I spent too much money on! Hard to explain away packages arriving with Japanese writing on them. Your videos are ALWAYS full of valuable information. Thanks so much! P.S. I have lived in Bremerton, WA for 15 years. I drive by Elandan’s Gardens and always think I should go inside to see, but always too “busy.” Waiting now for a special day to tour and treat myself! You were the one to have to show me that place also. Most of the people around here don’t know much about that garden though they all drive by many times a year. Not obvious that Dan really wants a lot of people to come in there….from your videos, I can see that may be part of his personality….he is happy if your are enthusiastic enough to stop and look, but he is too busy with his Bonsai to care if you are too dumb to notice his amazing garden? I have a strict selfish policy to make sure I never “volunteer”, but I may check to see if Dan has a volunteer group to help work in his garden….can’t believe I am putting that down in writing!

If I ever made it in to Canada you are one I would visit.

I grow my moss in trays with the fines I get when I sift my pumice, it's nice because its darker white and when I pull it out the pumice is already stuck to it.

Great seminar David! Thank you for all your instructions on social media as well!

From someone who isn’t experienced that was a revelation. Thanks.

Just Just started watching your videos thanks 😊

I'm not an experienced bonsai person, but I'm learning. I really love your videos, and I learn a lot. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Such a great teacher...thank you !

This was great. Thank you

Great video. Learnt allot!

Thank you Sir for all the info and also for explaining it in a easy way so that we can absorb what you are saying. You are a great teacher indeed. How to make sure the moss we are collecting is the right variety and it is not one which will take away the nutrients meant for the bonsai plant itself ?

Thanks, excellent class.

Never be sorry for tangents I’ve been studying bonsai for years and only now learned bout the tokonomo. Respect story. I’m ADHD and love your Videos. I was taught bonsai by Neli Stoyonova. I went to bonsai school and I’m still learning! Thank you

Very nice master Class, thanks 🙏

Bonsai beginner here. This is helpful information. Thanks!

Thanks David great video tree looks beautiful 🇬🇧😊❤️

I learnt a lot about mossing Bonsai from this seminar thank you

Thank you for another great lesson. I love these Videos!

Greetings fom Ohio. Your techniques and explanations are wonderful, and always according to sound principles. Thank you

You're the best!!!

Good video. Looking forward for the next one

That little plant covering is very nice! I wish I could find some of that here in the Netherlands. I do have a Irish moss problem in my garden, that stuff keeps sprouting up everywhere. I try to take it out as often as possible, and I even take chucks of soil with it because the fine roots mesh everything together. No point in getting the soil out, as it will regrow the Irish moss anyway. Great class about mossing up the bonsai!

great video , Thank you!

Great master

Hey Mr. Easterbrook do you think sometime b4 spring you can do a how to video of how to personally set up and do air layers..I've tried for a couple years and just can't seen to get roots.. Huge fan and I got into Bonsai about 3 years ago and you and Nigel Saunders have my climate kinda here in michigan so I really love u channel especially. Your a great inspiration and teacher..

Love your videos excellent as always..you make it look so easy lol.. just asking a question I own a ficus retusa tree and it's been pruned when I bought it it but the only left 4 branches at the top of the tree.. such a shame really could have been a very nice bonsai so there's no lower branches I can see where it's been pruned all the way up the tree my question is is will I ever be able to grow lower branches on the tree ever again thank you...

Very educative as usual Thank you David I have different aproach to moss. I prefer bare substrat of having better visual control of moist. For the shows is different story Moss it must.

I don't know if it's because of different moss species but in FL I have moss that grows quite vigorously on coarse, rocky substrate.

Excellent ! THANK YOU

Great video. Love the in depth detail. Prob best yt video out there how to moss up a bonsai. Thanks! Would love to know any tips from this kyoto moss they sell online on the best way to grow these spores

Anither video by david! Would David ever accept any weekend students next summer? I’m from sudbury and would love to learn from in person not just KZfaq

Do you ever have trouble with birds or chipmunks digging around in your moss?

Salut David. Ta capsule sur les mousses est très intéressante. As-tu déjà essayé les mousses de la conférencière québécoise qu’on a eu à la société ? Onm’à dit que c’était peu accessible. Patrick

Is this just for show or can you actually keep the bonsai on there permanently?

Are there any species you wouldn't apply moss for a show?

Lichen isn't a symbols of algae and moss but rather from fungus and algae

Can you grow moss from spores or something?

Hey David. Nice video! Not sure if you said it in the video, but when is a good time to apply moss to the tree? Thanks!

What kind of moss is this ?

How do you spell that moss alternative ? Can’t seem to find it . Great video!

Hi, whats the name of the green plant? Cant understand? on 18:24

ou peut on acheter de l'akadama fin?

The birds destroy any moss covering I apply almost immediately :(

Sorry, I just don't see how that jin improves the design.

Shit bro, u missed talking bout irish moss which is bad af!!! The roots from irish moss will kill a bonsai!!!
