Extreme Pyracantha Yamadori - Greenwood Bonsai

In this video Corin works on a Pyracantha with a super heavy trunk. This urban yamadori was collected in the UK where it had been growing in a concrete gully between 2 buildings.
Corin assesses the tree and treats the rot within the tree using wet rot wood hardener. After treating the wood he incorporates a piece of rock to the composition. Overall this process has created an interesting image that we look forward to developing.

I really loved watching Corin working at the huge Pyracantha step by step. With that ugly straight bit gone, it really looks so much better. Let's hope that the rotten wood was taken away on time.

[@shadsz1444]

I love the blooper at the beginning and the fact you left it in , absolute legend .

[@glennpaige7381]

Corin, the way you convert an eyesore into a pleasing work of natural art is astounding. And your camera manner and thought process is so relaxing and easy to understand. Can't wait to see how this little guy grows up. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks very much, and thanks for the support

“I could air layer it, but all I’ll get is a log with branches” 😂😂😂 Amazing

[@andrewbeattie5245]

Fantastic lesson in bonsai design, thank you.

[@firemouse666]

It was very nice of you to prepare us inexperienced viewers for the cut you made at 18:00 😂❤

[@davidhuth5659]

As my Dad would have said, "That's making a silk purse from a sow's ear." Great work! Thanks for sharing!

[@dariuszjarosz752]

Super👍

[@robmartin3312]

Excellent demo...just what people.need to see planning for the future

[@danielleeskelton]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this one develops.

[@snox7320]

Great video this . Interesting from start to finish.

[@johnvandegrift5164]

That’s going to turn into something great if it makes it. Looking forward to the updates on this one over the years.

[@mattbrennan647]

Amazing transformation. Thanks, keep growing

[@sylviahardy4568]

Always a joy to see true Bonsai Master Corin at work.

[@ianrowe9337]

If i hadnt seen it with my own eyes i wouldnt have believed it, but you pulled it off ( no punn intended ) & now we all wait bated breath for the next instalment ...

[@samsomerville6054]

Brilliant demonstration thank you. Already looking forward to the follow up😊

[@treeaddict]

You made this look SO EASY!!

[@miranded8662]

This was a really great demonstration!

[@astounded]

Thanks Corin, for taking us along on the voyage to the bones of this beast!

[@stevieboy826]

Really looking forward to see this plant's development over the next few years.

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Superb tutorial 👍🙏

[@pete1820]

Another excellent video presentation from Corin and Josh well done.

[@almac2598]

Thanks Corin.A very absorbing demo.

[@davidcoulson6904]

Wow, wow, wow brilliant. Truly amazing looking forward to following its progress.

[@W9SL9Y]

Brilliant video Corin & Josh!

[@chuckycheese1]

AMAZING what an True Artist can envision, what a transformation!! 👏 Excellent Work 👍

[@lukemead5276]

Lovely work on the yamadori 👍🏼looks fantastic mate

[@Rstytrsrs4325]

Great work, look forward to seeing how this develops.

[@angieb6899]

Quite a lot of surgical work there … no doubt we will see it in a future video… 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

[@omenoflaherty1294]

That was amazing: the expertise, the technique, and the lucid explanations; what a wealth of knowledge to absorb. The part about the berries being cut off was so well done. It was exactly what I was thinking as a novice - it’s the best part of the tree! A true master artist at work.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks very much, really enjoyed doing this work and salvaging the tree

[@user-bv9yi4by8j]

Wow that’s amazing. Superb transformation of what looked like something too far gone 😮👍

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks 👍

[@Maples-and-cats]

I think that Bill Valavanis must be proud!

[@janetdierker5700]

What a transformation! Bravo!

[@johnjoss2082]

I could sit and watch your all day. You really are a talented guy. 😎

[@duncanblakey9343]

What a great transformation! Absolutely love your videos Corin

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Glad you like them!

[@ClassicGolfClubs]

Great transformation, one of your best videos.

[@frazerskinner1714]

Really interesting video as usual not your normal run of the mill stuff we have all seen before. I enjoy the more unique projects I can see a bright future ahead for that tree the tufa looked made to measure and looked good with the bark. Thanks to all involved 👍🏻

[@stephenrichards2628]

It's great that you share your thought process with us. An amazing outcome.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Of course, thats how I teach, and I hope thats how people learn. Glad you enjoyed it

[@NoBody-wu7tf]

Nice 1 Corin n Josh made my day. It's a true education what you do nice to see the old girl get the love she deserves. be up soon to get some akadama and some of those lessons... Something to be said for knowing the craft and being brave with cuts Looks like the last in a long line of rescues for that tree Many thanks and all the best going forward

[@user-dg5ny7yy7x]

Brilliant to see you make something out of challenging raw material, Corin! Loved the video! ❤

[@jam884]

Hello Corin, Really enjoyed your working on the large pyracantha, hoping the best for it

[@BridgeCityBonsai1]

Great work! I suspect you’ll have a real nice piece there in a few years.

[@jballenger9240]

Thank you. More interesting and beautiful than when it came in. Definitely look forward to updates. Hello from Boston.

[@glynhopping7102]

That was amazing! A true bonsai artist at work Well done, mate

[@alfredgrechbonsailicious4827]

It would surely be a unique massive based 3 trunks raft. Following its evolution. Thanks for sharing.

[@steampunkvampyre]

BRILLIANT VIDEO !!! seeing you do this reminded me of my much younger years, lifting, moving, carving, and wiring. Now much older 80 and unable to do much I rely on others, luckily my mental capacities are fine.

[@smokereapergaming3861]

I know this tree will be amazing in 5 years, good job, mate😊

[@joannevandyke5112]

I think this is your best video! Awesome! You had us mesmerized!

[@cs3742]

That chunk you cut off would make good topiary style flower arrangement.

[@conspiraterry7393]

I'm so in love with that tree! So happy you intervened when you did, what was "salvaged", with the rock, it's so cool, yes, can't wait to see what happens with it in a year.

[@prataelena4211]

Impressive chunky bit of mature trunk! I’m so proud of myself because I had the same vision of the final design, before you explained the removing of the straight trunk. Brilliant idea with the rock matching the hole left by the removed rotten wood. Thank you for sharing

[@Intruuder1]

Can’t wait to see this follow up. Great work. Knew the established growth was coming off and pleased I could see it.

[@2702simmo]

Thoroughly enjoyed that . Best channel on you tube the set up , filming and presentation is great Looks to have the makings of an ace tree that looking forward to seeing how it transforms and pics of it in flower and berry next year would be interesting

[@kevinwilkes5969]

Thats a great bit of work and a cracking video.

[@philtudor6079]

such a fantastic transformation from a rotting Pyracantha to a unique looking bonsai tree, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of this beauty! Once again, thank you Corin and Josh for taking the time and effort to make these interesting videos . . . XXX

[@Yeeco]

Great video, Corin! Very helpful explanations throughout. Excited to see the progress of this one!

[@fletcherlewis]

I confess I liked the top piece , but when you pointed out it's faults up close I got the picture ! Great lesson on what's not going to look good further down the line 👍🏻

[@user-wr1ir2ho8b]

Wow! Awesome job again Corin. I’ll sleep at night now, knowing you’ll be looked after if you were in a prison shower!!!! 😂🤣

[@chaiwatpotichanid]

Good morning kupchak tree beautiful things management box 😢thanks for good advice kupchak hearty tree bonsai 🥰🥰👍

[@NYBraveheart]

Bravo! GREAT work, Corin. That bit of moss in the final shot really is the finishing touch. It's a beautiful piece. Thank you for allowing us to watch you work, Corin! Thank you!

[@katedodd79]

Just love watching you work your magic Corin; 41 minutes flew by! Thank you, and Josh, for putting the effort into making such great videos.

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Excellent work Corin. You really turned what could have been a rubbish tree into quite an interesting specimen. I quite enjoyed this video.

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it !

[@noahwimblay5833]

I love this tree! It started as a bit of a mess and when Corin finished, looked like the hand of Mother Nature reaching up from the ground. The trunk really took on the shape of an open hand. Amazing!

[@harrietb2141]

That is really a piece of art. Beautiful😍🌳👍

[@sheilastahl633]

You have the touch! You really cleaned it up and gave it a new beginning. Can't wait to see it later. Don't forget to bring it back.

[@seanbozorgzad9645]

Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[@denhardy7238]

Great job corrin try and keep us us updated on it’s progress 😎Dennis

[@greenwoodbonsaistudio]

Wow, you are a magician , this is something else.

[@brucebillst]

Very, very enjoyable and educational!!! thank you

[@teresagalbreath7452]

Amazing transformation!!!

[@toxicmale2264]

I had no idea that Pyracantha was that tough. I hope I don't kill mine overwatering it. I enjoyed seeing you carve it out, and painting it with a stain was quite a surprise for me.

[@mick681]

Brilliant. fantastic transformation.

[@dieiuai-malebenselbstgebau1523]

A wonderful piece of art, that you made!

[@tomd3337]

Since moving house a year ago I've been so busy renovating but these past few days I've been watching these videos recently and i cant wait to continue developing my few trees i started before i moved Thanks Corin and Greenwood

[@uppergorple]

Remarkable Corin!

[@jballenger9240]

VERY attractive results and expert transformation!!! The tree reminds me of 2 bull walruses (sans tusks) maybe just reaching the beach to bask and digest lunch, before a good nap! Wonderful bonsai! 🐟🦭🐟🦭 Best of the Holidays to All at Greenwood🎄🎄🎄🎅🏼

[@terryc8674]

Really good video and thanks for sharing. Quite often this type of material makes the best bonsai 😊

[@MsOSheDidIt]

Pyracantha is so hardy and I only have one so far. I think they're great, a bit dangerous if you get jabbed😅 but beautiful. Those make me so jealous. Great job dude.

[@62fastcar]

Fascinating!! 💚

Best bonsai artist on KZbin. Great videos and presentations.

Agreed 🎉

[@Eccentric_Living]

I would love to own that tree. The way you cut out the dead wood and made it look like it was growing on a rock was amazing.

[@luisvega6770]

EXELENTE TRABAJO . QUEDO HERMOSA LA GRAN TRANFORMACION.

[@hassimgora]
