That tree with all the right angles is an inspirational work of art!!!

[@remingtonjarvie5183]

That redwood bridge is by far the coolest!

[@BonsaiSociety]

@@remingtonjarvie5183 phenomenal specimen indeed

[@jaydean5243]

This is the most extensive collection of Bonsai that probably exist(or that most people have ever seen), many years of hard work and endless thought went into each one- Thank you for the tour.

[@josephlevantino1972]

That tree with only right angles! I mean wow, so cool looking

[@Patches9427]

Beautiful, Beautiful!! Thank you Sir🙂 very Inspiring.

[@nightcoder5k]

Amazing bonsai collection. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks David for the tour of David's trees!!!

[@nancyfahey7518]

Within 4:00 minutes I got my inspiration back. Thank you. I knew I planted these silly trees for a reason.

[@ganjajohn5748]

So dope. Just put my frontier yamadori kit together. Headed to the mountains

[@craighunter3273]

Well done. Thank you again for another excellent journey into this wonderful nursery

[@johnpereira9594]

With such a wonderful collection like that. I can only imagine the professional trees he did. Great video

[@jnk3775]

So impressive to watch your vlog… following to learn more about bonsai …!

[@mountain-roots]

What a gem of collection.

[@FIZZYYAM]

Very nice, I enjoyed the right angle tree, also the forest was amazing.

[@vladimirtrousil677]

So beautiful collection. You know David , I was amazed most of Dave's trees are from nusery stock. If you treat any tree proper way after some time can looks like real bonsai. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@jnk3775]

I just love bonsai trees. I’m a new fc of yours. So interesting.

[@jptruyol]

From Chile, thank you very much for showing us this incredible bonsai garden.

[@KurisuBonsai]

So good to see the creator of the right angle Hinoki Ive seen so often on Instagram, amazing amazing tree!! Bravo! Mr DeGroot!

[@BonsaiSociety]

Yes this Hinoki nicknamed 'Walking like an Egyptian' has been pretty viral on Instagram and Dave didn't even seem aware of how famous it was!

[@MrBoDiggety]

@@BonsaiSociety Hi Dave. Just stumbled across your channel. I noticed he said he didn't know some of the species. If he was to grab a any ol plant identification app on his phone he can just take a pic with it and immediately get the species. Food for thought.

[@BonsaiSociety]

@@MrBoDiggety Dave is very familiar with all the species but sometimes there are some varieties that are much harder to identify. For instance there are thousands of cultivars of Azaleas. It's practically impossible to know exactly which one it is even with an app or a website unless the previous owner disclosed it

[@Bloomcycle]

Been doing Bonsai for 30 years and my favorites are Literali and Windswept 🌲

[@JoseFlores-ps7ie]

Wow 👌 Incredible garden!

[@saikong2553]

Such humility, some of the best trees in North America. David, you should visit Tom Vuong.

[@tybronco9563]

Absolutely incredible! Thank you for the share. Inspiring me to start a collection in my middle age 🌲

[@mcbabs7495]

Un grand merci à vous pour cette magnifique promenade parmi ces arbres merveilleux! Tous mes vœux de bonne santé pour cette année 2023!

[@DavesBonsai]

Great tour David. Nice kick off to my weekend.

[@adsminibuild5791]

A beautiful collection of hard work and dedication 👏

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

Really beautiful collection - thanks David and Dave in North America, from Dave in Southern Europe!

[@mysticmike9778]

Thank you for taking a field trip to David and thank you David for the lectures on Sundays. Many hours many Sundays so much knowledge you conveyed. Can't wait to get your book.

[@mmjnice97]

Already have his book... one of my favorites in my collection.. I'm looking for your book David..

[@Chercher4848]

Another fun tour David, thx for the inspiration. As a former collector of primitive’s I feel the old spark lighting back up & w/b on the lookout for a collected piece. Dave’s collection is fabulous!

Thanks for watching them!

[@NimrodTargaryen]

Thanks🎉🎉❤❤

[@martinbarberio7451]

Magnificent specimens! I congratulate you on your exquisite collection, and how well they look.. I ask: the pines all have the same type of substrate... or some are more draining and alkaline than others. ?

[@hanskleinjan]

Impressive 👌🏻❤️

[@karlcottingham1472]

Beautiful 😊

It's like looking after a pet Can't go away for a few days or they die

[@elcazadordebonsais9867]

Bonitos los bonsais👍👍👍👍

[@musicpatron1693]

I can't believe his name is Groot.

[@briankavanagh7191]

Wow, just a modest collection? Oh to live in the USA and dig these trees out of drainage ditches.

[@911axe]

While I'm saying the same about the PNW, I've seen former PNW citizens who now living in tropical environments say they are so thankful they can now find tropical trees in the ditches. Same trees we pay big money for here, they have growing in wilds everywhere.

[@Gang1955]

Came back to update you that I found a beautiful cedar with a THICK trunk between a highway overpass and a Walmart! so basically a ditch

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

Bonsais Daniel Sun!

[@bjornlennartson]

I am GROOOT..🌲

[@samimurtomaki5534]

Nice, marked to my book that the mugo can be pumilio 👍

[@gary24752]

How do you get thicker trunk stock to bend or is it done with the trees are young?

[@罗来斌]

16:14是典型的“川派盆景”，中国四川的传统风格。在盆栽发源地中国，盆景分为八个流派，与日本盆栽比较相近的是广州流派，但广州盆景更注重自然风格，剪的技法远多于扎的技法。四川比较注重直角拐弯，扬州（江苏）盆景比较注重视频前半段所出现的平顶。

[@fredhannum4015]

[@joannevandyke5112]

Oh darn you Walked right by the beautiful tree with red trunk 8:34 what is it?

[@BonsaiSociety]

It's a Stewartia I have one in my collection too but they seem to prefer the PNW climate

[@joannevandyke5112]

Thank you for response..I have one in my pnw yard, not a bonsai or in a pot tho and still young and trunk isn't that beautiful. Gorgeous specimen!

[@claudioestrada1671]

That tree with red trunk and very dark green leaves that you jump over at 8:32....what species is it?

[@BonsaiSociety]

@@claudioestrada1671 an azalea

[@leoi3031]

[@vickikay54]

I don't know why, but the way most americans pronounce "bonsai" grates on me.
