Is It Time to Start Giving Names to Some Deciduous Bonsai???

[@777greglee]

Andrew, your channel has rapidly become the most exciting bonsai place on KZbin, especially for the deciduous lovers. Keep it up!

[@rakuyobonsai]

Thanks for the nice words, we’re working hard to put out more content and get better at production with every video!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Great ideas for thought!!

[@rakuyobonsai]

Something to keep in mind, I've always wondered about it

[@alexandros1973]

Well done Andrew, you provide original content and this is exactly what we need. I appreciate your dedication and determination to provide new content on a regular basis. I congratulate you for the rapid growth of your channel and wish you all the best for the future.

[@rakuyobonsai]

Thanks so much, Alex! We have some time this month before repotting craziness starts, so we figured it was a good time to grow the channel and start learning about how to do videos. We still have a lot to learn but learning new things with every video!

[@leanderbarrie]

Interesting idea!👌I have one hawthorn and named it Tony in memory of Tony’s bonsai. rest in peace✌️

[@rakuyobonsai]

i think another factor is that in japan a part of the bonsai hobby has that sports like competitiveness where bonsai are judged based on certain criteria, pushing people to design based on a winning formula. when you throw the rule book out you get crazy cool trees that look nothing like they do in nature, and crazy cool trees that look exactly like they would in nature.

[@rakuyobonsai]

Yes, and even in Japan there are multiple formulas often times to create beauty!

it’s easy to say this for me because is not my tree 😅 but I am challenging you to go fully opposite of classic style as discussed in the video. Remove almost all branches and leave only the ones on the top, basically where the V from on the trunk is. This to basically build a litterati maple bonsai with a small umbrella canopy. Put it on a smaller round pot and here you go you will have a Maple literati bonsai! Great video content, keep up the good work! Greetings from Iceland! yes even in Iceland we have nice valuable bonsai 😀

[@rakuyobonsai]

Thanks! I definitely have some bonsai here that are much more crazy, and some deciduous bunjin in the works too! I really want to see the confluence between traditional technique and informal trunks, so I think we’ll keep moving forward with that concept! But we’re definitely doing your suggestion on other bonsai here at RAKUYŌ

[@brianh.santos9295]

What a Trunk! Telperion was a special place… such a tragic loss!!!

[@rakuyobonsai]

They were, I really miss going there and will always cherish those memories

[@DavidCastro-fq9hl]

Hi Andrew Great page! When was the Desojo maple trimmed back in your episode on naming deciduous trees

[@rakuyobonsai]

The day or two before the video was published

[@andreasleiker262]

I just came across your channel and have watched all the videos so far. I find your topics and how you share your experience with us really helpful and very interesting. Stay with us - I hope there's a lot more to come from you :D

[@rakuyobonsai]

There is a lot more to come, we're just at the beginning. Cheers and thanks for following along!

[@AlexBraunton]

Fascinating thoughts Andrew! Thank you for talking more about this topic

[@rakuyobonsai]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@cesarurb]

Ok I’m not gonna say anything yet hihihi. This tree will be a an amazing thing for shure! Do you have some of that talperion trees for sale?

[@rakuyobonsai]

Thanks, I agree! I don't have any for sale, most that I have left are part of the permanent collection here at RAKUYO

[@baldyeti]

Brother, you put some fascinating conversations in your videos. If you do a podcast, I’d subscribe

Thanks, glad the conversations are interesting! We will be doing some deciduous podcasts later this year!
