The ones that look like a little forest with multiple trees, is amazing

[@bonsaiempire]

Yes the forests are stunning!!

[@christinamainoli3033]

One was I think a quaking aspen and they actually are 1 entity but look like several trees. I was so impressed that got the right

[@pennypink3759]

That was my favourite. I love trees.

[@reidellis1988]

Take mushrooms and spend the night under some giant Sequoia. I am 53, that was 30 years ago, and life changing.

[@reidellis1988]

@christinamainoli3033 The largest living organism on earth is a stretch of Quaking Aspen in Fish Lake National Forest. Sevier County, Utah.

[@joshuabrown9413]

I can't begin to know how to judge these. It's clear that much love and dedication was invested in each of these.

[@NinjaKiller1022]

You know that each and every one of these are old. The time and attention to detail that has been put into creating these masterpieces is well thought out. These are absolutely incredible would seriously like to know the age of these and the methods used to make these into what they currently are.

[@lilray7210]

I respect the art of Bonsai tree 🌳 artist. They really pay attention to detail.

[@bonsaiempire]

Absolutely right! Did you have a favorite? :)

[@LeoiCaangWan]

Does anyone else imagine little stop-motion characters running around these pieces of art?

[@BlueZombieMorphs]

WOW. Fantastic expo/exhibit. What a fantastic multi-row display in video. *Time, patience, and dedication to grow and maintain these. **Part of ancient Japanese bushido training. ***Everyone in the world should strive to create a safe environment, and grow one of these for 10 yrs. ****It would make each and everyone of us a better person.! My mother donated a 4-ft tall 60 yr old Jade bonsai tree that we had in Southern California in our house, growing up. It went to the St. Paul conservatory and part of it went to a garden in Seattle, WA. (They were both started 1970.)

[@reidellis1988]

Trees have the power to make me shed tears.

[@jakemoeller7850]

The trees with naked branches are stunning. So beautiful.

[@jimrebr]

I love Bonsai, this is a magnificent collection, it makes me think of my recently departed mother, she loved Bonsai and everything Oriental, she taught me, her eldest child and daughter so much. She was like a built in best friend, because I was born 7 days after her 20th birthday, we grew up together. I miss her constantly.❤

[@mimokristof-penjingheaven]

Great job Oscar with filming as always, thanx for bringing us the beauty we missed. I hope I finally attend The Trophy next year too. :)

[@bonsaiempire]

I hope so too! Thanks Mimo

Ryan Niel has, in my opinion, changed bonsai for the better since starting his garden Mirai. With his online Mirai Live platform (that i was able to be a part of since 2018, started it in 2017), he revolutionized the hobby in so many ways and now with his app, has once again revolutionized the way in which we can practice our hobby at the highest level no matter who you are, where you live, or finances. The bonsai hobby is not cheap, but even someone in ny shoes that live paycheck to paycheck, can very much enjoy this beautiful artform and do it at the highest level I can, and thanks to Ryan and his awesome team at Bonsai Mirai, my trees have truly elevated in the last 6 years to a point i never thought possible. Very much looking forward to seeing what Ryan does at the trophy next year. It can only be extraordinary!!!

[@krayxeez]

I can't even describe how beautiful those are. I am new to bonsai, but I fell for it right away. What a beauty..

[@prod.yungbeatz916]

the amount of hours of work put on these tables is incomprehensible 😮

[@hawaiianstarman]

…and over a time scale that requires a great deal of skill, patience, and foresight. While I enjoyed the video, I wish a more descriptive narrative was added for each winning entrant. Such as age etc.

[@theoschmitt3037]

Diese Bäume sah ich am 17.02.24 in Gent. Mir hat es besonders die Betula Pendula, Yamadori angetan. Selten so eine tolle Birke gesehen. ❤

[@grayfox2521]

Truly amazing ! Wish I could see them in person, but since the video is very well made, we can still appreciate their beauty

[@DeanKellyBonsai]

First one I've missed since 2015, looks like it was a great exhibition. Thanks for getting this out so fast as always Oscar. I bet you were editing this in your hotel room. 😆

That AI reality! Tree is absolutely amazing!!

[@eewilson9835]

AI bonsai is taking over the market for all the right reasons, 1.People suck. 2. Plants grown on their own. 3. AI growing is superior than real life!

[@camillechapman3108]

Blew me away!

[@shadesofpurple7283]

[@julieanddavidmyers6641]

Loved the show. I wish the trees had leaves...but we could see the branches better.

[@michaeldorr7062]

Great Video Great Show See you next year again

[@bonsaiempire]

Thanks!

[@EuroTravChannel]

It is a strikingly elegant and beautiful presentation of plants. It is a high end form of art that everyone can see. It's ancient but lively. From design, to training, and keeping, a bonsai is a treasure that takes many years to form and last hundreds of years. It is a celebration of plant life and human life. Bonsai was developed in ancient China when China had the best economy. Neighbor Japan has been a keen learner who inherited a lot of China's high end heritages. Then China collapsed. The stable economy of Japan ensures such a sophisticated form of art is preserved. Then through friendship with the USA, the art and skill spread into the West, and is appreciated by many more people.

[@haleyc.3530]

Reminds me of sage brush, they take 50 years to get to the size of a bonsai and 100 years to fully mature and they look like little trees ! They are endangered in the wild so If you want to grow something similar to bonsai that is more low maintenance and at the same time help the environment you can raise baby sage brush and send them off to be planted in their natural habitat once they get old enough .

[@spookshow6999]

[@amymarie1298]

I have ambivalent feelings towards KZbin algorithm. Sometimes I hate it. Sometimes I love it. This particular time with this video, I LOVE it! This just randomly appeared on my feed and I was like OHHHHH what's this about! So, can bonsai trees grow large if you allow it, or do they always stay dwarf sized? I've always been curious about that. The first prize broadleaf bonsai looks like it has a face! Seriously, right underneath the leaves that knotty part looks like eyes, nose and a mouth! I'm not the only one that sees an ent there am I? Pause it and look for a minute if you don't see it, I don't see how you couldn't. That's SO COOL! It even looks like it has a little body with a hand and the roots look like a foot! It looks like a little gnome! I am not the only person who sees this am I? And then the back part? If you look at the top of it, it resembles a reptile face like a snake or a lizard that's coiled up on the back of the gnome. I can definitely see why this tree won first prize! There is definitely some animistic something going on here.

[@bonsaiempire]

Glad you liked it! Yes its the techniques we apply to keep them miniature, its not a dwarf plant or anything :) Perhaps check out website for some more info: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics

Some bonsai trees in Japan are said to be hundreds of years old. That means you have to leave them in your will.

Its to bad that we do not have Bonsai shows here in Austria (not australia) YOu would have to drive over the borders with your Trees, which includes having a plantpassport for your ree, or yu canot bring it.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I find it funny you have to say not Australia after Austria lol I suspect you'd been asked that many times

[@daniels5177]

Das stimmt nicht. Der Pflanzenpass wird nur beim Handel benötigt und übrigens durch den jeweiligen Betrieb selbst ausgestellt. Kein grosser Zauber, aber nicht notwendig wenn man privat Pflanzen verbringt.
