Improving the success of collected Yamadori Part 1

[@bethechangeme2233]

Thanks Tony for sharing your hard won expertise with us. I've been involved in bonsai and yamadori collecting for about four years now and its information like this that can make the difference between loosing potentially hundreds of years old good material or saving it successfully. Lots of people are reluctant to share this kind of information for fear they will somehow empower some kind of competition but instead I like to imagine how rich and vibrant the European bonsai community would be if all those badly collected tree's had actually been collected successfully. There would have no doubt been countless insanely beautiful tree's which had taken even hundreds of years to form for us all to enjoy at shows etc but which instead ended up on the rubbish heap for lack of basic knowledge, which is just a crying shame. Greetings from Ireland!

Lots of good advice and tips I’ve seen previously and picked up from various other channels that you’ve stuffed into one excellent video specific to the UK. And you’re a John Martyn fan too ✊👍

[@TonyTickle]

stuart rose hi Stuart, I have a show in the planning for 2022

[@itslilyitslily]

Chiltern Bonsai are attempting to do a virtual show, perhaps Bury Bonsai can do the same

15:02 There is always one root that just wont cooperate! XD Great video though. I have a real urge to get out and find something that will be nice yamadori. I could do with a few more basics though.

Please dont collect your own spag moss. It is very slow growing and actually protected in the UK

[@Boru06]

Great vid. What soil do you use?

[@adamjones715]

Great video mate. Have you got link for those training pots? Im in Australia and cant seem to find the plastic bonsai style training pots anywhere.

[@olliesargent6174]

Great tips, gone and used it on a hawthorn today. I notice you don't mist the roots very often when potting - am I overestimating the risk of drying out?

[@TonyTickle]

Ollie Sargent timing as this time of year dry rooting is no worries

[@AlexBraunton]

Is it safe to breathe in the sphagnum moss?

[@qindistiker8293]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@itslilyitslily]

Thanks so much for this, the fresh buds on my collected hawthorn started to dry up so I did this and it's popped alot of new buds. Two questions: 1. Can you do the same for evergreen e.g. yew trees? 2. Do you remove the bag when the leaves have hardened off or at the end of the season?

[@TonyTickle]

Look at my blog for aftercare www.yamadori.co.uk

[@MrBabysumo]

How much of the Spagnum moss did you use? was it mixed in or a layer on its own??

[@TonyTickle]

Nothing in the soil but a lot on the surface for humidity, make sure to watch the rest of the series.
