Ben B's Top 5 Bonsai Artist

[@777greglee]

Probably the most creative Bonsai video I've seen in 2024. So much work! Loved it.

[@benbseattle]

thank you!

[@MehranAshkanian]

I agree with you

[@hoodzie9810]

Ben, this one your best videos. Very entertaining and informative. Watched already 3x

[@NoCoastGolf]

Great look into Peter's nursery and really appreciated his tips! Thanks, Ben.

[@judymagrath3771]

I totally agree with your list, and your comments on how you selected your top 5!

[@brucewilliams2639]

WOW! Outstanding. May have been your best. Thanks

[@caiobonsaido4629]

[@tgambill85]

Tea Tip #8: Bonsai soil was really helpful. Thanks for the video - Peter Tea is great!

[@benbseattle]

Totally agree!

[@breadoflife2798]

Good job getting your account back, Binh.

[@breadoflife2798]

Hahahaha like a trained professional actor. I am so proud of you.

[@ldalcantara]

Ben, Thanks for your input on your best 5 bonsai artists a really funny video

[@SolGuerrero]

Cool stuff!

[@ravaginggoatman]

Some really great information here.

[@jeffsansom1304]

Great video Ben. Really enjoy tips and hints from you. Has helped with my bonsai journey here in Australia 😎👍🏻

[@grahamhues2926]

Great video

[@acer_p_bonsai]

Nice hype up video while headed to Kannapolis for the silhouette show!

[@Adam5Taylor]

This was a very well shot and edited video. Your cinematography skills are on point. Thank you for sharing the journey to California. His collection is something out of this world. Keep up the amazing videos, and happy holidays to you and your family.

[@benbseattle]

Thx Adam. That means a lot definitely investing a lot into improving the channel.

[@VincentTanner]

Nice video and good list! I’m very lucky to be in a study group with Suthin and he’s amazing. We meet a few times a year and I’m learning a LOT. Keep up the cool videos!

[@benbseattle]

That's awesome I definitely want to learn from the man

[@IvanCarrizo-Marin]

Un nuevo suscriptor, me gustó mucho la narrativa.

[@benbseattle]

Gracias

Peter Tea works with our Minnesota Bonsai Society. I met him for the first time this summer. He's great. Glad to see he's your no. one.

[@bricker918]

Peter is the best! Honored to have him as my teacher

[@Val0rG]

Awesomee!

[@matshagstrom9839]

I could not agree with you more but I would have to include Jonas Dupuich. He has not trained formally in Japan but he has collaborated with many great Japanese growers. He also has the skill of communicating exceptionally well I guess I would have a hard time limiting the list to five and would probably need to make it 10 or 20 so I could include Ryan, Eric and so many others. No question Peter Tea is my all time bonsai Super Hero and I think the single most talented bonsai professional in the USA. Great video !!! Thank you, Mats H

[@benbseattle]

I agree as well. I've had the fortune to attend a few of his demos and he is amazing! Definitely belongs on the list.

[@KevinRobideau]

I have trained with Peter T when he was in Minnesota with the Minnesota Bonsai Society. He is as nice as he seems.

[@benbseattle]

so humble and very knowledgeable. Shares his knowledge without feeling like he has to take money from you for it.

[@OwenSpitfireStorvik]

Friiiiidayyyyyy

[@japanesemaplepruning]

Excellent video. I’d like to get into bonsai; I think I may lack the patience though. Maybe I can pay you a visit sometime.

[@roddfrancis5816]

I was surprised not to see Ryan Neil on the list

[@benbseattle]

I love Ryan Neil's Bonsai and all that he does for the hobby, he didn't make the list as someone I would want to train with because with how much he has going on, I would not get the same learning experience as the others.

[@benbseattle]

His brand is geared to teach in high volume and not high touch.

[@OjaiBonsai]

Ya. Ryan Neil is number 1 in my book. He was taught by number 1 in Japan. 🤷‍♂️.

[@benbseattle]

@@OjaiBonsai I totally respect that and Ryan. Everyone will have a different list based on their experience. And mine may change as well as the time passes.

[@hoodzie9810]

Was thinking the same thing. But also understand why not.

[@MehranAshkanian]

Great work. What is the best soil for Chinese Junipers or Junipers as whole Already appreciate your reply 🙏

[@MehranAshkanian]

What is the best Juniper soil mix in development stage and for final repotting ?

[@timmywood9677]

Assume I go camping in auburn every year on the American river that good to know that Peter tea lives there

[@Warriori2i]

nice sci-fi !!! i'm to old to understand the icon/bar code or whats it called... but never to old to enjoy an learn something ...tks for your films !!!

[@benbseattle]

if you have a smart phone just use your camera and it will pop up a link to the give away info

[@987654ok]

@@benbseattle Thank you for the video and your input into bonsai community. Have been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoy them. As far as the link - it just points to their website. Maybe I am also too old to figure out where the correct one is :)

[@benbseattle]

@@987654ok scan the one next to my name

[@987654ok]

@@benbseattle hi Ben, I scanned all 4 - no results, two point to their site and 2 point to your facebook page. In either case - I do have plenty of the tools - i was just wondering. Maybe someone else who needs it more will get be able to open it. Thanks for your great work! - Very inspiring over the years.

El arte del bonsai no todo tienen talento nato

[@BaxterDuffy]

Can’t help but ask. The duct tape bandage implies a level of severity that makes me wonder if the injury came a really sharp bonsai tool. Maybe a pair of Josh Roth shears perhaps???

[@benbseattle]

LOL maybe a little mishap during production.

[@ChopsticksGarden-QuangNgo]

I'm sad because I'm not chosen. lol

[@benbseattle]

@@ChopsticksGarden-QuangNgo lol

[@sethdewoody8080]

I didn't even know there were people who did bonsai "full time." Does he get paid by selling his trees?

[@johnrb9397]

🍿 😮

[@MarkHudson-x4o]

I've been watching you since you started

[@benbseattle]

Thank you so much Mark!!

[@cliffordgoodrich3773]

I suppose the big question here is why you left Ryan off this list?

[@benbseattle]

I love and respect his work. He is in another category all by himself.

[@benbseattle]

Josh Roth Tools Entries will be selected by 12/15

Insupportable la traduction automatique. Impossible de regarder la vidéo.

[@benbseattle]

Je suis désolé que tu n'aimes pas la créativité

[@dnxwiga3018]

@ J’adore la créativité. J’ai justement été très déçu de ne pas pouvoir regarder ta vidéo à cause de la traduction automatique qui remplace ta voix.
