My pleasure!

Nice work on those monkey poles, and I thought the drawings were really good to explain the ideas of perspective.

They are a great way of displaying trees

I’ve just stumbled across your channel and it’s awesome ! At last someone saying why you do things a certain way, and what you expect to happen. I feel like I will learn so much !

Those are a nice simple design. If I had a yard, it would likely be full of these after watching your video. Thanks for sharing Jason.

Exactly the video I needed to see Jason. I have to make quite a few of them. I have some interesting material from job sites that will try to use. (worked in architecture for 25 years). I knew it would be good for something someday. And as always, thanks for the fish sighting. My pond is just starting to thaw, and that means the resident pair of ducks will soon return. Still many trees frozen under snow.

The good news is spring is here so one of the most spectacular times of the year as everything stirs and comes back to life. Glad this was of use or inspiration to you. 👍

Ahh, Jason… my mimosas died too… the big one in the summer because of the heatwave (I was sick and I couldn’t water) and the younger one because of frost…

I wonder if the high winds tore the roots which killed it. The other is still thriving and bright green by comparison but is bent almost double and needs staking upright.

Thank you.

Very rough and ready carpentry… 😆

Ohh, Jason. I think you are not the only one not having enough space for trees. That is a problem for all of us😂. Great to see your garden develop. I may copy those poles going forward. Great vid🙂👍

Of course, we all have the same problem once the obsession takes hold. At least this will clear some space for a little while.

Very useful - my problem is I couldn't hammer the poles into the ground - this garden is a relatively thin layer on top of all the builder's rubble. I would have to have a flat platform base and then worry about it getting blown over. (BTW - it's not "not enough space" - it's "too many trees" - I'm desperately trying to avoid that situation but then temptation comes along....)

It’s difficult to avoid. I’ve just ordered one of those Herons imported Japanese cork bark black pines to add to the numbers. I also need to think about the stuff that realistically has not made the grade (I’m thinking of my earliest efforts) and rationalise or “downsize”… which is code for “get rid”. My main benches are a couple of inexpensive dense hollow concrete blocks from a builders merchants and a deck boards sat on top.

I liked your process and simple design and your placement was spot on. I definitely know that feeling about 'lack of becnh space'. I would love to allow my better trees room to be displayed well but they keep getting jammed in as new material appears :)

@TheBonsaiGarden

I know that feeling well. The real answer is to get rid of the low value, low potential trees.

Were you able to just drive those posts into the ground?! My ground is so full of clay and rocks that it's difficult to make a hole with even a post-hole digger. I can't imagine just hammering a post in like that. The end result looks great.

They are in a soil banking that was made from soil from the pond. They are inserted into metal post spikes.

Monkey poles are nice! 👌 I was thinking to create “monkey shelves” to hung to the fences in the patio but I have yet to find a proper way of securing them without using nails or screws (we are renting) and haven’t found one yet… 😢 Any suggestion?

I should think maybe some form of hook attachment. My main benches are made from inexpensive dense hollow concrete blocks and deck boards which can be quickly dismantled if necessary.
