    what i love about these videos is how "rough" he is with the trees. and they turn out beautiful. Of course he has decades of experience to know how gentle or not you need to be with these things. So many bonsai videos have people using thousand dollar tools to carefully trim one root at a time and stare at it for hours before plucking one leaf off... this dude just goes for it! love it.

    Quite interesting and cool. I had really wanted to see how this was done so thank you. . Maybe at some point you can touch on keeping all those roots viable and not drying out so exposed. I had thought of using spag moss but I though that would cause a knot of roots due to the moisture so I was left with what to do short of watering everyday (sometimes more in hot summer) like I do with my orchids like mounted ones or vandas. Thx for sharing.

    ah, i was wondering why everyone was saying they liked the "boring details". admittedly, i noticed the quotation marks but i still thought it a bit rude haha. i didn't know it was because you feel the smaller details themselves are boring. you sir, may fear you are boring your audience with the smaller details, but i can see from your fan's own "mouths" that you are too hard on yourself. almost everyone who's been with you for awhile can attest that they like when you give them the "boring details". they hang on your every word and are eager to learn the valuable information you have to teach. your fans love you and are more than willing to be patient :) as is needed for the art of bonsai, so I'd say you lucked out!

    You say "I don't like to bother with the details" but this is one of the reasons I watch your videos, you're not afraid of showing the details of bonsai care, and it's really important to me when taking care of my tree, I'm less afraid of doing wrong now that I studied the details of what you do. Truly, thanks a lot for your teaching, it suprasses by far all the litterature I read ont he subject. Speaking of which, do you have any litterature you recommend on bonsai ? Because you often say stuff like "I read that in the litterature but I don't apply that", but the I don't really know what to read or where to look (for example, when u said that some people say that we should water the tree once a week when it's really dry, and you said in a another video that that is not what you advice). I'm not a native speaker so I don't really know how to search for great books in english (and the one I've found in french aren't that suitable for me, particularly there's not so much details) Thanks again for your passion

    Draven I may have to stratify longer but I will be checking at a month to pull out any seeds that have sprouted a little root I will let u know my germination rate out of 30 seeds at 1 and 2 months

    Draven sorry ... to clarify I will be taking a few seeds out at a month and see if they sprout after sowing.. then at 2 months take some more out and see if those sprout after sowing.. I have experience with growing other crops from a seed... but I am a newbie in bonsai

    Draven It seems pretty all over the place online. I’ve read for black pine u should stratify 1 week , 1 month, 2 months or even 3 months.. there is no clear answer..

    RE: BLACK PINE SEEDS. I soaked mine/refrigerated them last month and wrote on the bag 5/20. Experimenting... Since I’m home, I took the bag out last week and today found most have sprouted! Thanks HERONS BONSAI for all the lessons, without strict rules offers more people encouragement to try!

    @Draven Since when does the Glorious Executioner fiddle with Bonsai? Hadn't figured you a green thumb
