I agree with them...Which is why I focus on keeping everything alive firstly.

Thank you Dave for this informative and inspiring video 🙏 Great collection, beautiful trees and interesting people! Because bonsai is about the trees but it is also about the people!

What a fabulous video Dave!! Amazing trees and amazing knowledge shared, I learned a few things, Thank you so much!! Chris mentioned holding a tree back because of cicadas!!! OMG! My eyes flew open wide! We have them here in my yard, in fact my chihuahua insists on playing with them and trying to bring them alive into the house! I did not think they could be munching on my trees. I will be watching my brand new BRT closely!! Thanks again Dave for such a fantastic video! I hope I can get to Chicago one day to see their exhibit.

@@lisawagner6076 so worth the time if you get the chance!!!

I think I am starting to favor the more "natural style" of bonsai design that we see here in MN and along the many lakeshores. Just this last weekend (08/17-18) I toured the north shore of Mille Lacs Lake. I took photos of the trees for reference. Natural already does some magical things to the trees. I am moving towards designing my trees in that fashion.

[@DavesBonsai]

@@ryanmcvay1745 it’s a big push. I like it.

[@dkstott29]

Nigel Saunders has been my inspiration for natural appearance..❤❤

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Hai from Vancouver 🎉I love my bonsai journey.

[@DavesBonsai]

@@MommaKnowsBestest it’s a pretty great journey right?!!!

[@MommaKnowsBestest]

@@DavesBonsai it’s so fun. I’m doing willow as they grow so fast. I can play with fun shapes. Junipers grows so slow.
