Canadian Bonsai Master David Easterbrook Presents His Legacy

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I loved the tour David and it was nice seeing you at the National Show!!!!

[@brianparnell2256]

Bonsai is undoubtedly an art in patience but waiting 10yrs for an air layer to root is going beyond the call of duty. Absolute respect for that. Your collection is awe inspiring. Thanks for the tour.

[@dk2614]

See once you do an air layer there's no going back. His only choice was to continue to care for the tree so long as it was still alive. Now that tree has immense value to him. I have a juniper grown from a cutting that took 3 years to root. Then again when most of the care is proper watering and protecting all of your trees it all becomes routine. We can only do our part and the tree's have to do the rest!

[@ericstrees]

Love hearing you talk ab your own collection. Wish the cameraman focused a little more on each tree though

[@jayzes9945]

You are a national treasure! Never seen such beautiful bonsai before. A true master.

[@thomasherceg684]

I feel moved by viewing this absolutely outstanding collection !

[@gracepeterson7483]

Wow. What a fabulous collection. I'm 62 and although I've been a gardener all my life, it's only in the past few years that I've taken to bonsai. If only I would have started when I was younger! Greetings to your sweet Oreo.

[@garyfriedrick9941]

Wow! Thank you so much for the tour. My heart is full from your lovely narration. I am looking forward to what Nicolas brings forth from your life's work. Bravo Maestro!

[@tobywilson4876]

Is the audio quality distorted for anyone else? Amazing quality trees though :D

[@yaboy162]

The care you have put in to these trees over the years is obvious and remarkable.

[@jameslangschied7900]

There's no question that you are a master artist. All of Canada should be proud of you. Thanks for sharing the view of the Dwarf Alberta Spruce forest. It, and all of your other trees, are an inspiration!

[@ericor79]

Thanks for sharing David. Your collection is very impressive and your garden is a paradise on earth.

[@RocamboleMan]

Really enjoying all the new videos since this one! Please keep going. Very instructive and helpful.

[@Johnkhuu830]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful bonsai. Love from Northern California.

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

[@hendrikmilitzer441]

Really great Bonsai. Thank you for this amazing view in your collection.

[@brendancahill3376]

Superb collection of bonsai trees , and thanks for the tour of your collection David .

[@Dononcall]

That is the finest personal collection I have ever viewed.. Thank-you for sharing.

[@conawayfilms]

What a marvelous collection of bonsai! Are you able to insure something like that? I’m sure it is priceless to you! As a second generation practicing arborist, I have always been interested in bonsai. Watching your videos has inspired me to start building a collection of my own!

[@jagged6373]

So jealous of these trees. I only have a couple, store bought, I tried to order some starter kits and I’m never able to get them started. Impressive

[@soonzach4017]

I am a new subscriber, your Bonsai trees very interesting 👍❤️

[@moonhussain2467]

Incredible collection

[@bonsaibro]

Amazing collection. You can see the passion in every tree. Thanks for sharing

[@LetsDoBonsai]

Great to meet you at the US show - very kind of you to share some of your time

[@Minty-Fresh_]

Thank you for taking the time to give us a plant tour. This video was extremely humbling and inspiring.

[@NotAnotherBonsaiChannel]

What a beautiful collection you have Dave and I like the name change. To be honest you had me confused with the name change! 😊 I thought 'Bonsai Society' - Who's that? I like the merch, looks good Best of luck with the new camera man and set up! Let's hope your Channel can grow and more people follow your channel. Yes, I would like to see updates on some of those trees!

[@Ollieslife101]

Loved the tour. You're such an inspiration to do many

[@IndianNumismatist-m8z]

That was a treat 🎉. You are a great inspiration for millions. Love from India

[@egoebonsai37]

[@soufianeserji4504]

Thanks a lot for sharing. I wanted to see your collection in person, and now I have a chance to see it from KZbin. Thanks again

[@aidenwalsh4320]

Thank you David for taking the time and effort to show us all your personal collection. It is magnificent. Your knowledge and experience is a wellspring for all of us to learn from. Thank you sir.

[@pankajbawiskar3086]

It nice to go through ur bonsai benches I have already watch that Benjamina vedios

[@cesarelisete]

beautiful bonsai. I want to get one as a Christmas present. I am from Brazil...❤❤

[@RocamboleMan]

Do you think you could do a nice long video of you working on the Alberta spruce forest that's at the 7:15 mark? Would really love to see what you'd do with a forest like that.

[@ginettecharbonneau5814]

OMG so much work, patience and years went into those gorgeous bonsais . Such a collection !!! You are a bonsai genious and have such knowledge ...Merci énormément pour ce que vous faites et ce que vous nous apprenez . Will follow you and Nicolas on the adventure . Thank you for all your videos.

[@LtDan-co5tk]

Cool to see your collection. My only input would be to have the cameraman learn a little about bonsai so he can capture the important aspects of your videos. Very excited to see what’s coming!

[@ArendvanWerven]

It would be amazing to have a book about your collection. With many photographs and the stories about the trees. I for one would love to purchase that. Great collection and awesome stories.

[@ultrahd2000]

What a amazing display of bonsai.

[@glennsuyat4290]

Very interesting collection indeed, so inspiring in all your memories of working for so many years on each and every single pieces of your bonsai!.what a beauties❤

[@nevnaidoo9801]

[@GlumMrspartan]

Incredible and inspiring collection. Thank you so much for the tour!

[@akwd1]

Hello David, lovely collection you have. You are a master of your craft. What is the purpose for thr nails in the soil?

[@bilalkassem1443]

Wonderful tour and collection. Happy to see you david.

[@Tore1972Wisdom]

I´m sure we are many, who would have liked that tour was 4 ours long. So many amazing trees waaauuuu.

[@jesusarmendariz9128]

Beautiful place Mr.David, thanks for sharing.

[@mikayelmikayelyan8935]

Thank you for such a great tour This is a very outstanding collection. It is now on my list to visit you when I am in Montreal

[@JulieBeros]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful bonsai. You are a Master.

[@andoionutdan9670]

Very beautiful collection of bonsai I love your work, God bless you!

[@slycer98]

Bonjour David, on s'est rencontré à St-Alphonse (Gros-Becs) il y a plus de 20 ans, tu as été un grand guide à l'époque et tu continue à me fasciner! Je parie qu'il ya des arbres du regreté Louis-Philippe Coiteux dans cette collection!?

[@fredaufschlager5131]

Loved the tour, Dave. Jerry Stowell was my second teacher at a night class he gave at a high school. He gave me a Japanese Barberry. Fred

[@greenhawk1592]

Amazing! wonderfull work 🙏👍🏼 thankyou 🌳🌲🌳

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Great video David I love to see D ficus it’s looking fantastic. Funny enough, I’ve actually been likened to Nick Len’s myself because of the pots I make I believe he made some crazy pots and was a great BONSAI artist, not that I am myself, but I do make some crazy pots. I was wondering if you had any formal upright double plantings that you could possibly work on as I have just bought myself two massive trees that I plan to make a twin planting of, but have no information about how to go about it so video on a double planting would be Brilliant if you could. Great video 👍👍👍

[@vladimirtrousil677]

Very precious video it shows your whole dedication of your entir life Thank you so much for sharing that David

[@shivangnisharma9448]

Thank you for sharing your lovely collection ❤

[@darlwineecita1575]

[@razor2ts]

Amazing collection, thank you for sharing David ( UK )

[@minli2584]

[@aaronschelstraete8062]

Great collection! Thanks for the tour! Love the Acers. No oaks? (Don’t have much luck with them myself) Greetings from Belgium 🤗

[@zachdrummond4180]

Fantastic collection and I really enjoyed David's narration. Definitely do an announcement for when merch drops, love the design!

[@T_Barrington]

thank you for sharing your collection!!

[@chuckeecheese162]

That’s incredible. Thank you.

[@OjaiBonsai]

Awesome collection. Cheers from Ojai California

[@ldalcantara]

Thanks David for sharing such an amazing Bonsai collection with the viewers, will be awesome If you can open this collection for local enthusiasts a few times by year.

[@larrynelson9611]

Hi David. Just wondering what you do with your trees in the winter. I live in Northern Wisconsin and get very harsh winters. I have mostly Ficus trees and I can bring them in my home in the winter. Also I was wondering when you use for fertilizer. Do use the same for all your trees. Also I take my trees to Florida for 3 months every year. Love watching your videos. Thank you so much.

[@jgreen8336]

Love to see some well designed bonsai apparel.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Thanks for showing this to us. Amazing collection! Very informative great walkthrough! It was nice to see u at the show dave i had a great time there being it was my first time. U were soo knowledgeable on ur walkthrough at the show with the trees. I really hope u continue to go there every 2 yrs. I had a blast! 🦴👁🔛

[@nicholascartwright2089]

Top quality stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@bobduff2648]

David, it was great for the whirl wind tour of the collection. I remember several visits to the MBG when I lived on Montreal to see the collection. For future videos maybe you could select one of your favorite trees and give us the back story of how it was obtained, what was your design/styling consideration in its development and how it has evolved/ changed/matured over time as teaching video.

[@clintbuhs7708]

What a great tour! I'm curious about the plastic cap head nails. Are they just stabilizing moss and whatnot? They don't look like any fertilizer spike I'm familiar with.

[@mcbabs7495]

Un grand merci à vous pour cette magnifique promenade parmi les arbres de votre vie!

[@rontrnkus547]

Terrific tour of your collection David, how do you keep all of your trees looking so healthy. Please share your secret with us.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Just gonna say im glad u started this channel because we need the knowledge u guys have for us who just started or still learning to continue this amazing hobby from now to the future. Thanks dave

[@geraldrandall1566]

Great collection. I notice that the trees seem to get a lot of shade. I suspect it is so that the pots can be smaller and shallow.

[@hanskleinjan]

Stunning ❤️🙏🏻

[@creightonfreeman8059]

I have an Elaeagnus angustifolia that I dug up in Spring of 2022. It is still in a training pot and only had preliminary structural pruning but I should be able to start wiring secondary branches next Spring. I wanted an Olea europaea; I've seen some people in warmer climates have beautiful old Olive trees but the climate is too cold here in Ohio so I decided to see if I could imitate the effect with Elaeagnus. It is good to know it has been done by you also. When you air layer trees in the ground doesn't the Winter freeze kill the air layered roots? I assume with trees in pots you put the air layered trees in a greenhouse over Winter to keep the air layer from freezing?

[@mrjeffryson4449]

Love your videos David!

[@rrocapu]

This is a very impressive collection, David. Really amazing! One question for you: where do you overwinter your trees, especially those small projects obtained through air-layering? Cheers,

[@wabisabi3619]

What a collection! Incredible plants. Thank you for the tour 🙂

[@Amanda-rr1hj]

What a treat have seen glimpses of your collection on your channel.Amazing how many you have nurtured over the years.Great inspiration for a newbie like myself .Loving the shirts can’t wait till available Take care sir🌳

[@terryvirta311]

Thank you.

[@slythedragon7017]

The cameraman lied on their resume

[@Frankh1]

Awesome video, amazing! Just some feedback; please, use a different setting/lense for the focus. Really hard to see the nice details of some branches.

[@claudedanis5712]

Wow ! Superbe belle collection David (Et quel talent 👍)

[@FMcMtl]

Super. Pouvez vous montrer comment vous préparez la plupart des bonsai pour l hiver. Je suis à Mtl aussi, et cest la 1ere année que jai certains yamadori en pot. Je ne suis pas sur ou quand et comment les garder a partir de novembre. Merci.

[@kreativ_corals]

very nice collection. I wish more of the trees looked like trees... Shout out to Nigel Saunders whose collection is very natural

[@teresagalbreath7452]

Wonderful collection of bonsai David; you have amazing knowledge and skills.Thank you for sharing it with us! Is it just me or is this video slightly out of focus? It is also pretty swoopy and swaying for the work professional videographer to me. I don't mean to be rude, just my observation.

[@Naturalsantification]

Wow amazing ❤

[@mhylton]

Thanks for the tour. How many trees do you have in your collection? I have around 30, which is manageable for me. Hi from the San Francisco Bay Area and the East Bay Bonsai Society!

[@fabricantdarbres]

Beautiful trees David, and I 'd be interested to hear more about your Caragana trees and techniques for them, as I just started 3 from seeds this spring. There is not much information about them as a bonsai! For the camera work and sound in this video, It was ok and I'm sure experience will be gained as the channel prospers in the future. This episode might be a standalone one, and was good but please consider focusing a bit longer on the overall height and width of the tree before focusing more on the trunk and pot. Also a glimpse of the underside of the canopy and branches is always graciously accepted! Merci beaucoup!

[@jasonkim3287]

Every single bonsai is breathtaking! Thank so much for the tour! Just the camera man needs more practice though. :)

[@nancywood-c4t]

I’m a true beginner in the art of Bonsai…what do you do with your bonsai in the winter….it gets mighty cold near Montreal. I’m in SW Ont … can my junipers stay outside?? No clue what to do as the weather gets cold.

[@dereknyberg1806]

David- How do you over winter your JM's? I've struggled with mine due improper winter storage (humidity). I live in Minnesota.

[@2funny-videos]

8:51 did you say“please nergo” ?

[@hashiramabonsai]

Maybe another small critique for the video, it would be nice to see the whole tree including the apex :)

[@hashiramabonsai]

Constructive critique: The audio of your voice sounds bad! Your collection is amazing and i already subbed liked and shared :) Im trying to open my own bonsai nursery in Switzerland so I would love to be a part of a bonsai society, if you have any tips on how i should launch my nursery please help :) much love from Switzerland, looking forward to every video!
