Looks like you had a great time Jerome! Sometimes you are surrounded by amazing trees, but you just can’t collect them for one reason or another. At least others can still enjoy the trees in nature! 🐦💙

Enjoy the beauty of Nature. Please don’t collect from public lands which are very vulnerable to over use and exploitation. These trees have lived in for a long time in peace. Thank you for the inspiration to be responsible and tranquil in this world with other species.

Great information!

Cal Junipers are everywhere It takes years to find the honey hole for Bonsai quality. If you really want one go see Roy in Sylmar at Fuji Nursery. He had already done the work. $$$$

@@november8039 you have to be lucky with climate. i have this juniper 15' walk from my parents house. it is gnarly and twisted. i took a 6-7 cm branch with good foliage n a little deadwood shari feature and used normal air layer technique with sphagnum and perlite but very big bag compared to what i see online, in 27 march (we dont get snow or below freezing here during winter). i put iuta mats around the juniper roots and branch to keep it wet and cool (just some spots not complitely covered). i applied agricultural (to the plant not the airlayer) fertileser npk 138 just the first time. and watered once a month the tree with humic acids and algae extract (cheap one not for bonsai just for agriculturlar purpose) and olso spray algae extract on the foliage of the air layer. for the air layer i used normal water. so every mont i went there with 10 liters of water with humic and algae and 2-3 liters of normal water. 1 november i could see roots and i cut the air layer. i was lucky because there was rain during the periods i didnt watered it during summer

Thanks for sharing. I know one of the locations you were in as it is near my friends property and I have seen a couple of the exact junipers myself. I'll be mapping and tagging a few junipers next week for collecting next month if conditions are right.

This was great! I love the Yamadori and have “collected” my bonsai from struggling plants in my yard- not very exotic but quite satisfying. For a future video, would you consider some instructions around “pinching” for pines? This is a concept I can’t figure out from books and would love to understand before next spring. Again, thanks for the informative and fun content!

Thanks Jerome for adding sagebrush to your video content, after all it's my favorite. If you have any questions on sagebrush I have five years experience working on these delicate shrubs.

Awesome video jerome. Id be pretty sad to go out there and not find anything but i would enjoy the experience of being there. Makes u wonder if they were all dug up by bonsai people already.

Thank you Chris! That’s what I have been told all these years that all the good ones are taken but I found about 8 fantastic junipers in just one pocket. I believe there is so much land that has not been explored yet by the bonsai community. However, I am not sure if we should since these trees are ancient, and should be left in their natural environment.

@@Chris-oq6kn I actually didn't collect any. I am struggling with making up my mind if this is something that should be done for personal pleasure or not. Most Yamadori collected in nature don't make it, about 50% die even with experienced collectors this is just kind of the nature of it. So it would be super cool to bring one home but at what cost.

The desert is a beautiful place but one must be careful.

Nice change. BTW, I'd like to recommend an artist for 'Coffee and Bonsai' if you're interested: Arthur Joura of the North Carolina Arboretum. Another channel just posted a nice vid of him doing a demo, "Appalachian Bonsai". He has visited our club in Harrisburg, PA several times, and what a great artist, and all around great guy. Just a thought. Cheers.

Not really do you?

Desert species are living in a sacred space that does not exist outside of there, such as in your yard. Do not collect this delicate life.

FYI…BLM land is a public land.
