I am a 5th generation Texan now living in Canada. Came here as a musician with my wife and fell in love with Nova Scotia. Was a farm to market farmer for many years, but discovered bonsai during the pandemic when the Farmers Markets were shut down in 2020. My love of bonsai came from learning about yamadori and I began collecting local trees. Inspired by Peter Chan, Nigel Saunders, David Easterbrook and others I started my own KZread channel. I then got interested in pots and learning how to make cement pots. I then ventured into clay where i am learning new techniques all the time. Thanks for joining me on my journey and enjoy the channel-- hope it inspires you to create your own bonsai adventure.

Thank you, James for sharing your knowledge and process. I have been enjoying your channel for a few months now. You inspired me to start making my own cement pots. Keep up the good work!
Nice tree
Great tutorial!
These two trees are huge. Nice work pruning them. I had 3, but one did not survive the first winter in the forest I made. This is a second winter my two survived. About a foot tall. Still healthy. I would not be able to carry those two.
I'm jealous of your hair! Lol Norway music always makes me think of the great black metal bands.
Nice market!!! Many people took up bonsai or just gardening during that time. I'm curious how you determine your pricing.
Nice haircut James! Looking forward for the styling vid come spring.😃👍
Tamaracks by the Sea!
Great video James this tree is really coming along 👊👊👊
You need to get an up to date photo of you both 20 years on. Big market looks lovely
What a great market. I hope it was successful for you.
Okay, I was impressed, so I subscribed. I am 68 yr and just now trying my hand with concrete, first two days were a mess but today I think I might have done it right, time will tell. I like the tools you fashioned makes it all come together. Job well done; your planter is very nice.
Nice looking veggies. Your trees are nice and healthy and priced nicely.
There are some real talented people selling their products.
Cool market place.
Your set up for selling trees is very eye catching.
Cool the way she makes cut towels. Fish lady, ya beat her into the market. Nice fiddle music.
Wow! Great picture of you and Val !!! Yal were babies!! Wow! You have a lot of cool plants for sale ! I wish they would ship ! lol Great looking plants James!! Yal take care !
its cool to see what prices you ask. ive been wanting to sell some of my own at local markets. i was a glass vender for years, mostly at music festivals. pricing any art is always tough tho. thanks for sharing!
SWEET! Love that honeysuckle! Wish I had smellavision!
Forgive me if you may have already answered this previously but where is this market? I’d love to come check out your plants and perhaps pick your brains about getting started in bonsai. I’ve always been fascinated by it and would love to get i to it myself. I’m in the HRM. Cheers!
The market is in Hubbard s ns exist 6 off the 103 Saturday mornings 8 to noon
I played music with John years ago in a band called Trinity!
If I were an ant, I'd ask the colony why the heck we do this? Lol Each repotting destroys their home. 😋
W TREE 🌲
kirim dong satu ke indonesia 😂😂😂😂😂
200 videos. Super cool! Great pruning today as always. Your trees are always looking good.
Cotton Easters. I just tried rooting a couple of my Tiny Tim Cotton Easter. Been 2 weeks. I will have to check on them. Yours are cool. Hopefully mine roots like yours. Built into it, just like a willow. Cool. I have to remember that.
Catching up on videos. Great opening with the gulls.
Great video James Congratulations on the 200 videos great stuff mate. I do enjoy your videos James 👊👊👊👊
Cotoneaster are perfect for mame size. Could be a fast seller. You could sell them in old tea cups from eBay you drilled holes in. If you wire the shoots before you produce cuttings the trees will have movement right from the beginning.
some great little chinese elms you have there :D
Perfect timing on Cottoneaster propagation. Ill do one tomorrow James Thanks
Have you thought about using capcut? Its an editing software foe videos i just switched to it
That is a beautiful planting!
Those are really neat! I have to make some sort of arrangements like this!! Well, not that I need more trees LOL.
Very nice! Those sheets of moss are fantastic!
I love growing in compost!!! It's free for me (save the perlite). I don't have to water it three times a day. I don't like chemical fertilizer. And I can travel without worrying.
I like your outlook on the word bonsai!
So beautiful!!! My favorite so far!! Where do you get a fork like that ? Yal’s place is gorgeous !!! 😊
I made it from a regular fork
That planting of three is elegant! I guess what you're doing is giving wild trees a better life than the one they started with. Far better, and more respectful, than slavishly following bonsai 'conventions'. Admirable work. Wish I had a disused shale quarry!
Great video,those trees look really good,and I love that pot.well done from England.
Great video Steve good luck with it 👊
some of those roots look like fingers strangling the trunk.
Nice CEs. Great repotting of this tree. Moss looks great on this small landscape. Now that was a nice gift of the 4 trees.
Nice idea the way you fixed the pots.
Congrats on the new trees James! Kim's Nature is my closest bonsai store and they are regular supporter of the Toronto Bonsai Society.
I'm calling your pot fixing technique The Roxy Poxy !
Good job brother! I like your Chinese Elms. Glad you were able to get them. I know they will be well taken care of.. Love you, Your Sister, Elizabeth (Betty)
i got a nice thick chinese elm at the end of last summer from a family run nursery in florida. dang thing has the worst case of spider mites ive even seen in 25+ years of growing things. i had to use 3 sprays every other day on rotation to get rid of them. its a great species tho. other then mites like them. nice starting matrial you got here
Yes l understand the excitement... nice Work
