Walter Pall is an amazing bonsai practitioner. He has his own ways of working on trees and does not look for the approval of others. I have had the honor and privilege to have taken 6 workshops with him and he is in person just as he is in this video. He has changed my ways of looking at and designing bonsai and I am grateful for that. Thank you Walter.

I love his maverick kind of approach to miniature trees. I love bonsai, but I too have a rebellious attitude against pure formality. But as he said, there are several styles and this is one of them. I find it tiring when some uptight bonsai lovers, turn their nose to a penjing or a more unusual style. Going back to ancient Chinese and Japanese thinking “it’s for the pleasure it brings” I was going to wire a couple of small trees I have in my garden, but watching this video made me change my mind... one of those trees shall remain natural 👌🏻😃

yeah, and the most unrealistic are junipers, you can't make the crown so even and triangular and keep all the rules, because the twisted and irregular deadwood with crazy, but natural shapes have been made by nature from a former crown. so the current crown's style should match the style of the dead wood.

My thoughts exactly. It’s kind of cool to see a Bonsai grown to perfection over 50-100+ years but that’s not reality. Trees in nature have “flaws” which make them beautiful and unique (just like people).

It seems like the only realistic approach to the naturalistic style is to start from Yamadori, which is fine but will like to see examples of this style been achieved with fairly young grown material or prebonsai. I mean buying a semi-developed bonsai and converted it to a naturalistic miniature tree.

@WalterPall 5 жыл бұрын

You can start from seed. But it will take 30 years before this is something important. You can start from a nursery tree, no problem. only collected trees are usually universes better. So why lower your standards and waste literally decades? In my workshops people work with the kind of material you mention all the time. I personally want better for myself.

O comentário de Walter não aprofunda a visão do bonsai principalmente na escola e estética japonesa no contexto da religião shinto e o zen budismo... Chamar de naturalístico porque o contexto do bonsai é religioso aonde arte e religião se tocam na natureza... Não é animismo, mas uma triangulação cósmica entre o homem, a terra e os céuls, já que não é possível invocar uma divindade... Melhor falar de estética da natureza como os teóricos Carlson entre outros...

@@luisw3406 I never said that a tree collected from the wild couldn't be a bonsai and we all agree that the plant from the video is spectacular. what I am saying is that taking it from nature is harmful, in some or most countries its banned under fees impositions for one simple reason, some species of trees were and are endangered from disappearing from the wild because people collected them. It could be from self-benefit or to sell them and it has been a serious problem. it's easy to take 100 trees some may die and sell the rest with not much work and a little time spend on them because they are already formed. in Spain, it's forbidden even taking moss.

@entyropy3262 5 жыл бұрын

@@kumaESP Yamadori is only collected with official permission, either from private or from public ground, if it would be harmful, people would not get an official permission. Collecting trees without permission is harmful. Did you ever experience nature outside Spain ? Not everywhere you create desert by taking a tree from nature, infact in most countries in europe trees will grow really fast back in the place where one was taken. It's not like there are millions of Bonsai Hunters out there taking all trees out of nature, if you want to complain about how nature is treated, complain in the right spot, creating love for trees like Bonsai does is definitely the wrong spot. We love biodiversity, we do not want to have a planet only full of conifers, unlike the wood industry. We love wild trees, not tree monocultures. What kills nature is monocultures, not Bonsai collectors. If I am informed right, taking trees or any other plant from nature without permission is forbidden in every european country.
