Everytime I've seen someone transplant: "Make sure you're careful not to damage the roots." Bonsai Heirloom: "So I grabbed my reciprocal saw..."

Its actually better to tear up with the root ball a little bit it encourages the roots to grow out more.

How to turn a Bonsai into a Bonsai. :)

@MiltonChang-ee6rq

Love your sense of humor! Works!

Ahhh, the skilful use of the traditional Japanese reciprocating saw.

I've been a landscape designer and selective pruning specialist,for the last 22 years. So naturally I wanted to pick up bonsai, I started bonsai about 11 years ago and I am still learning. This is an art form that takes tons of patience, perspective, and willingness to learn from the mistakes you have made along the way. And by learning the bonsai art form, I realized a lot about life that I had no idea was connected to bonsai. I know nobody here knows who I am, but in a nutshell, practicing the art of bonsai, change my perspective on life, and rectified the path I was going down. And then I find this channel.... The way he explains everything, the tone of his voice, even when ideas pop into his head and he voices them out loud he makes you feel as if you were in the room and it was just a conversation between you, him, and the bonsai. And I'm learning all kinds of new tricks I'm getting all kinds of new ideas. Thank you bonsai heirloom for this channel

needet to rewind itt like 10 times so i was sure, even put caption on. still cant believe it

In my younger days of Bonsai growth, I was able to go to the local nurseries and get all their "ugly" potted plants for a song. Then they caught on and I had to work for them to be able to afford the raw materials. I haven't worked on any for over thirty years now. My wife is telling me to get my behind a moving to start up again. Like your channel and I will keep coming back to enjoy your work with you. Stay safe.

You and I have the same strategy! At bonsai auctions, I go for the trees that look like they have potential instead of the very nice looking ones. I hope you will start doing bonsai again! It is a great hobby!

Yeah I used to be able to find old gnarled rootbound junipers and Chinese elms and other stock in the back of nursery's or some overgrown corner of their shade houses and get them for like one or two bucks, they'd be happy to get rid of them usually. Now it seems alot harder to find them or they hear bonsai and want an arm and a leg for them, or slap em in a bonsai pot themselves roughly without proper training or anything and call them bonsai and charge a premium. Which is always disappointing. That said though there does seem to be more good quality pre-bonsai stock around my area than there used to be too. That's had some initial work done and don't tend to have all the problems that nursery stock can have like reverse taper and all so ita a positive i guess. But I do miss that sort of a treasure hunt vibe I'd get before and finding those hidden raw gems.

@@iamshredder3587 The urban tree hunt is most diffidently a missed adventure! I would have loved to bring my son on these trips of discovery. Take care and stay safe.

I'm just beginning a tree myself. My very first one. Sometimes I reflect on my age, nearly 72, and wonder how long I'll be around to see results. But then I realize that this art is not about me. If I manage to succeed in the early stages, my tree could be in another's care, as is your sublime Juniper. Your work is truly incredible, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from you here!

That was super awesome. I remember enjoying bonsai thru old books and college greenhouses prior to the KZread days. I’ve never seen an old tree moved and worked on like this before. Hearing the owner speak and manipulate the branches as he was working. Showing ideas and imagining the future. It really was very awesome to see. And as the highway outside my house fills the air with the sounds of weekend traffic, it was nice to hear the birds chirping in this video. To get a shared sense of peace. Thank you.

I appreciate the explanation of what you are doing, it makes it far more interesting. Thank you

This tree has such an intriguing shape that I'd find really difficult to choose the orientation to keep. I think also the slanted one at 7:00 would be a nice one, with the apex guided to grow along that direction

Majesty in work! I started learning Bonsai in leadership school in the military (90's)...teaches not only patience, but how to plan across generations while being responsible for someone/thing besides yourself. Your collection is stunning! While junipers are amazing, I find fruit and other deciduous trees to be very rewarding (cherry, crabapple, walnut, and cedars!)

I look forward when all the leaves are in full bloom. Such an interesting tutorial thank you :)
