Go go go my friend and find peace!

OutDoorLiving OutDoorLiving thats no bonsai

Thanks Brandon Tran! We had a great day and now the most exiting time of the year is upon us - SPRING! Let the buds swell and the growth be strong!

Welcome to Bonsai Talk, Douglas!

In a Bonsai Talk future near you László!

Good for you! We dig that..

Yeah, we had a good run... soon spring, can you dig it?

Cool!

ogajodocenario Yes. Go to steal to the nature instead of making your own bonsai. Cool

It's best to do it in spring before the new growth starts, so march or april. It's also entirely possible to do it in the fall, but then the tree won't be able to regenerate quite as well as in spring because winter is coming. I think summer would be the worst time to do it.

Oh yes.. we will.. Thanks, and welcome to BT

It's amazing what you can find growing on the side of the road, even in "wasteland" where people dump rubbish.

¡Gracias amigos míos en México, crezcamos juntos, el bonsái es para todos!

Thanks Ken! Larches are great...

Kenneth Miller Hi sir have you tryout sanicat non-clumping 👍

Tjena grabben, tack som fan.. Kattsanden är från Coop-Xtra, den är bra och den klumpar sig inte. Vi har planterat träd i den i åratal..

Tack Shimotham! välkommen till BT!

It's better to be save, then sorry.

Check out or older content, or a our newest video there is all information you need about bonsai soil

Hehehe

Where men are men and sheep are nervous!

First of all, i know that you have just started your Bonsai journey, you are now entering the world of Bonsai Talk and that's awesome! Make sure that you watch ALL of our content, all videos we have because alot of specific answers is out there in our content, for sure. When it comes to your questions..I tell you what, we are gone save these questions for an upcomming Q&A part 2, but the simplified answers is: 1. Is there for example a scale/list of what Scandinavian trees that grows most easy :Birches develop roots very fast and has good progression fast, just as most decidious trees do here 2.What kind of trees develop roots fastest = Decidious trees and Junipers 3. What kind of tree can take most damage on their roots and still survive = Ligustrum, Olive, Ficus and Syringa is very tough, just to mention some few species.. this is a huge topic. When it comes to Pines, strenght and energy is located in the roots. When it comes to Junipers, strength and energy is located in the foilage. When it comes to decidious trees, strengh and energy is stored and located in the vascular system (Branches & Trunk) simply put..

Thank you, that is a very good start :)

Eu também gosto do Brasil, pessoas legais incríveis e muito amor pelas árvores, obrigado por assistir nosso show!

Whats up Peter? Actually they are both wired in place with black aluminium wire, might not be so easy to see on the footage tho.. The birch has alot of branches and resources..but you are right, we always save alot, they are notorious for die-back..

Hey Petter "The Converstation Starter" Eliseussen.. *1."When we pick Yamadories at spring, it might be a good idea to cut more branches of it, so the roots and the trunk does not have to bring so much energy around."* Answer/Thoughts: YES it's not a smart idea to start doing heavy pruning in autumn, especially on weaker material, but it depends on what species of trees we are talking about. You can go a little bit harder on pines for example, in opposite to junipers when it comes to topiary, foilage pruning/thinning.. because the strength/energy will be used/stored in different places. Pines = Roots, Juniper = Foilage/growing tips. *2. "Any thought about going out and getting Yamadories on autumn too?"* Answer/Thoughts: YES, most likely, the evergreens have stopped/slowed down the metabolism ALOT now..Pines are perfect to collect in oct/nov, especially Sylvestris. You just have to make sure you have a sustainable, NOT wet rootclump full of soggy soil, and that you can protect it with large amounts of substrate/leafs as topdressing, insulation, with drainage or some kinda frost frame if you are concerned about the overwintering, because we should be concerned about that since it's freshly dug up. That oak.. I'm not sure about that, oaks are very sensitive and i wouldn't recommend ever collecting decidous/broad's in autumn, however, if you can dig up all roots, without disturbing a single part of the rootsystem and pick up the whole chunk of soil and plant that in the ground at your place...ehhhh, probably, go for it, with extreme caution. You need to practice your patience, then bonsai.. Solve it by getting alot of trees and let them grow more, work less. Start that idea now in spring... the paradox is that you will have more work to do anyway then you can imagine, however this, i'm not gone argue with this wisdom.... *"Killing trees, is the price you will pay to learn bonsai -John Yoshi Naka"* This is very, very true to some extent, Bonsai is a learn-by-doing hobby.

ajajaj.. even if i must count on it to happen, i really will be frustrated when i see my first dead tree. But most of the time i believe it will go well. Thanks for your answer. :)

I was thinking this - I wish I had an accomplice.

chillz1100 can I volunteer to be your accomplice? lol.. we have lots of yamadori spots here in the Philippines

I'm in the UK, maybe some day :)

It sure is! we are already seeing signs of strong recovery..

Good to hear, I'm certain they'll turn out into great bonsai!

Hey perfect bonsai root work already done

Bonsai Talk so what does it look like now? It’s been a year since this video and I’m trying to see how it turned out for you guys.

I never fertilize with anythingelse then liquid form, organic fertilizer called Algomin - seaweed minerals. This is of course a personal preference of mine, and let's not enter the neverending discussion about fertlizer, there is tons of ways to do it really... Thanks for tuning in to bonsai talk Maros Belan, let's grow!

Hey Scott! Always diatomaceous earth (catlitter non-clump) It's also called Moler. Sometimes when we have the resources and will we also add pumice/lavarock.

I'm from Sweden

That's great loved the video

You bet.. brace yourself... spring IS comming.

Gracias..

Catlitter is great .. Just make sure it is: 1. 100% Diatomite 2. Non-clump free 3. No parfume or strange extra particles

Thanks a lot mate. That cleared all of my doubts. And now I have a very cheap solution for my troubles. That's why I love your channel. It's a win win :D

Our very first lurker. We're so honored.

Can you guys harvest moss? That rock held $200 worth of moss on it.

Yes Erin.S.. You can.. they are rare but it's possible

Hey man... Tricky question, it depends on age, health status and species.. Rule of thumb is to wait an extra year if you are uncertain about the recovery rate of the collected tree, Horticulture > Bonsai.

Thanks for the reply. Look forward to your next yamadori hunt

I think they used cat litter. I've seen that on other channels as well as a good alternative for akadama (pricey ^^) But i've got no experience with it myself. Would be interested to know how good that works and if you should mix it with other soil?

@@joschkokroger2699 Do NOT use kitty litter. It bears no relation to akadama. It absorbs way too much moisture. Another useless video.

@@really2345 I THINK that. I do not know. so dont hate the video becuase of that ^^

Diatomite (diatomeous earth is a naturally occuring stone particle) - commerical known as clumpfree catlitter. It's equally good as "bonsaisoil" which can be heavily overpriced, such as akadama and lavarock. Perfect for yamadori.

@@BonsaiTalk so i can use straight cat litter and nothing else?

Lichen, exactly! Thanks for all the love brother! Let's grow!

Diatomite (diatomaceous earth) Commerical non-clump catlitter

Yes my friend we are!

Always Diatomite as base, somtimes we mixx it together with chipped bark pieces..

Som du skriver, det beror på situation, vi tar reda på vem som äger marken, sedan beger vi oss dit. Många träd har vi räddat p.g.a dom skulle bli offer för jordbruk, slyrensning, kalhygge, allmän skogsavverkning osv.. andra träd, buskar har vi fått lov att gräva upp hos främlingar, vänner.

Welcome to BT zeynep çınar!

Anytime my friend.. come to sweden

You can have a bonsai with seeds or cuts

Larix decidua

Bonsai Talk haha I thought that looked like cat litter and was scrolling through to find out if I was right 😊

We might do someday.. Scots Pine are great Bonsai material!

Growing things with The Johnson, thanks for the empowering words.. Let's grow!

Sir I am not satisfied with your comment sir no

Always Diatomite (Kittydama) for Yamadori..

Thanks.
