Spring Yamadori in the Shale Pit

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I was so jealous watching you look around that shale pit. Just so many good looking trees for your collection. Great video and very relaxing to watch. Thanks James

[@ArkansasBikernet]

I don't comment much on the videos I watch, subscribe and LIKE, and I do that on ALL your videos James. Well done...I feel like you take my blood pressure down about 20 points listening and watching your videos...and that's a compliment. WELL DONE.

As usual James a real haul from the shale pit. I was drooling over those Birch trees.

[@PatriciaOConnorBonsaiBalcony]

What a haul, and so easily collected. Beautiful Trees and that 25y/o is a beautie. Nice show James. It was a great Bonsai Day!

[@bonsaibythesea]

Thanks Patricia 26 and blowing this morning oh joy 🥶

[@stuartCcash]

This vid was really helpful thanks. I have just managed to get permission to collect in the new year from three quarries near me here in the north of england. Already got my eye on a few scots pines, a massive gnarled hawthorn and a stunted little twisted old oak that looks awesome. Take care.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Nice little trees. The snow really insulated them from the harsh cold weather. Snow does make a good insulator. Nice collection of trees for you.

[@joannemcniff4210]

I like how the trunk was bent on the little spruce you pulled up in the beginning, many possibilities.

[@bonsaibythesea]

It’s the snow that does that we had a lot this year cheers

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Tree 2 is cool in the rectangle pot. Nice trunk and the moss looks good around the tree.

귀엽고 곡이 아름다운 나무들입니다. 당신의 분재들을 응원합니다. 건강하세요.

[@gamer1672]

Man what a nice collecting spot! Thanks for sharing.

[@gerardoforesthillsbonsai]

As I said before you are blessed to have such an amazing Yamadori options 🤤

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Tree 3 reminds me off a Giant Sequoia in the rectangle box by itself. Nice little tree.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

That first tree looks like a nice Charlie Brown Christmas tree. You just need the Charlie Brown gang around the tree at Christmas time. Cool little tree.

[@uppergorple]

Wow. Really wish I had a shale pit!

[@bradbuss9753]

To me, at least on camera, the second tree is the best. Who cares about my opinion… they all look great! Looking forward to seeing the Azalea in bloom!

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Great video James That stone pit is awesome wish I had one near me like that James Good luck with them 👊👊

[@tomnyein]

Thanks for sharing. Please keep them coming.

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Jay mentioned your channel, so I came to snoop. Not disappointed! Great finds!

[@marcus7840]

I would love to have one of those Birch trees. What a beautiful place to go tree hunting.

[@mikec3820]

waiting for the cold temps to break. so fun finding trees

[@markjeffrey9882]

Nice to see you’re in the maritimes! I’m in New Brunswick and just started looking for places to pick trees

[@givetanks]

Great collecting spot - some really nice finds!

[@virolfestrellado9425]

I can't believe you just pulled the tree with one hand and intact root system. Looks so easy. In my area soo rocky with long runners which usually barely have fine roots. I'm always afraid of tree survival.

[@thetreestyler]

Love a good collection vid and first processing - great work

[@bonsaibythesea]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@jasoncox8567]

What a amazing spot you have

[@raysbonsai]

Fantastic, wish I could find trees like.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Fantastic finds James! Now, where is the nearest shale pit? 😆

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Prize of the day is right. Excellent!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

It looks like the shell pit makes a good starter bonsai soil. The trees grow nice in it. How many trees are you allowed to pull out of the pit?

[@bonsaibythesea]

Nobody cares about these trees no limit

[@autumnmclaughlin1548]

don't cut of the bottom branches till you feed it an get it back to health takes about 5 years they thicken the trunk, now if you feed it heavy the branches will thicken and the taper will inverse in about 8-10 years

[@SubjectiveFunny]

Great finds!!

[@diyeverything2177]

❤Are beautiful I like them 👍🌿

[@teggner]

Wow! How much do you water these once planted?

[@bonsaibythesea]

They get water everyday the soil drains well

[@hassimgora]

I am seriously jealous your dig site. Fantastic trees and really spoiled for choice.❤

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

Nice. The shale pit is a wonderful natural nursery for Bonsai. I would love to feature one on my channel. Any chance of that? Unpotted of course.

[@bonsaibythesea]

Sure how would we do that

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

You have a nice hoop house for your trees.

[@carlosgomes1726]

Que lugar incrível!!

[@damianarco3216]

Creo que morí y vos fuiste al cielo

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir to you Sell some of your Yamadori Trees to the Public?

[@bonsaibythesea]

Yes I sell trees but I don’t ship them pic up only

[@alog2]

no bags for the roots... check yamasibon kiwa or yamadori

[@bonsaibythesea]

It’s just a short walk back home for me the roots don’t have time to dry out

[@sharonbuckley4591]

A tree spa at bonsai by the sea!

[@bonsaisn]

Cảm ơn bạn chia sẽ kinh nghiệm ❤❤❤❤

[@LisWarni-g6r]

kirim dong satu ke indonesia 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Helosbonsaiiichenel]

Permission to share, boss

[@Bysourcebonsaisonsing]

😮😮😮😮😮

[@lbdilliner]

That seems really cruel to continue. I guess we didn’t learn anything from the Japanese. They have emptied their Forrest of all Yamadori. You immediately start pruning as it wasn’t enough to rip them out of the ground. You probably kill a lot of trees. Stop bragging about the amount you bring home. Most of us don’t agree with your glutney approach to bonsai.

[@GattoneGattone-w7f]

Sei una bestia......sembra che stai raccogliendo delle carote!!! Non è un buon modo per raccogliere in natura .....come on!!!

[@albertorudi5168]

Please respect Nature and leave those beautiful plants there, where they were. Those plants own to we all, are not of your own property. Bad behaviour

[@bonsaibythesea]

Your missing the point this isn’t nature it’s a man made disaster I’m giving these trees a better life
