These are beauitful bonsai..It takes years and years to master these large scale . Thank you. Very expensive to say the least.

[@parisinthe30sx]

The ones that look like a little forest with multiple trees, is amazing

[@bonsaiempire]

Yes the forests are stunning!!

[@christinamainoli3033]

One was I think a quaking aspen and they actually are 1 entity but look like several trees. I was so impressed that got the right

[@pennypink3759]

That was my favourite. I love trees.

[@reidellis1988]

Take mushrooms and spend the night under some giant Sequoia. I am 53, that was 30 years ago, and life changing.

[@reidellis1988]

@christinamainoli3033 The largest living organism on earth is a stretch of Quaking Aspen in Fish Lake National Forest. Sevier County, Utah.

[@lilray7210]

I respect the art of Bonsai tree 🌳 artist. They really pay attention to detail.

[@bonsaiempire]

Absolutely right! Did you have a favorite? :)

[@prod.yungbeatz916]

Diese Bäume sah ich am 17.02.24 in Gent. Mir hat es besonders die Betula Pendula, Yamadori angetan. Selten so eine tolle Birke gesehen. ❤

[@NinjaKiller1022]

You know that each and every one of these are old. The time and attention to detail that has been put into creating these masterpieces is well thought out. These are absolutely incredible would seriously like to know the age of these and the methods used to make these into what they currently are.

[@marioguillen4294]

Espectaculares arboles y grandiosa exposición, calidad de video, gracias.

[@chrishollier9661]

The only thing missing is a narrative of the facts about these beautiful trees.type,age,etc.

[@invertevision4757]

Ryan Niel has, in my opinion, changed bonsai for the better since starting his garden Mirai. With his online Mirai Live platform (that i was able to be a part of since 2018, started it in 2017), he revolutionized the hobby in so many ways and now with his app, has once again revolutionized the way in which we can practice our hobby at the highest level no matter who you are, where you live, or finances. The bonsai hobby is not cheap, but even someone in ny shoes that live paycheck to paycheck, can very much enjoy this beautiful artform and do it at the highest level I can, and thanks to Ryan and his awesome team at Bonsai Mirai, my trees have truly elevated in the last 6 years to a point i never thought possible. Very much looking forward to seeing what Ryan does at the trophy next year. It can only be extraordinary!!!

[@gregoryrunningelk865]

First one I've missed since 2015, looks like it was a great exhibition. Thanks for getting this out so fast as always Oscar. I bet you were editing this in your hotel room. 😆

[@bonsaiempire]

Lol! Not just me! But glad you liked it and too bad we missed you

[@guillermoalmansaavellaneda6080]

fantásticas exposición

[@EuroTravChannel]

It is a strikingly elegant and beautiful presentation of plants. It is a high end form of art that everyone can see. It's ancient but lively. From design, to training, and keeping, a bonsai is a treasure that takes many years to form and last hundreds of years. It is a celebration of plant life and human life. Bonsai was developed in ancient China when China had the best economy. Neighbor Japan has been a keen learner who inherited a lot of China's high end heritages. Then China collapsed. The stable economy of Japan ensures such a sophisticated form of art is preserved. Then through friendship with the USA, the art and skill spread into the West, and is appreciated by many more people.

[@amymarie1298]

I have ambivalent feelings towards KZbin algorithm. Sometimes I hate it. Sometimes I love it. This particular time with this video, I LOVE it! This just randomly appeared on my feed and I was like OHHHHH what's this about! So, can bonsai trees grow large if you allow it, or do they always stay dwarf sized? I've always been curious about that. The first prize broadleaf bonsai looks like it has a face! Seriously, right underneath the leaves that knotty part looks like eyes, nose and a mouth! I'm not the only one that sees an ent there am I? Pause it and look for a minute if you don't see it, I don't see how you couldn't. That's SO COOL! It even looks like it has a little body with a hand and the roots look like a foot! It looks like a little gnome! I am not the only person who sees this am I? And then the back part? If you look at the top of it, it resembles a reptile face like a snake or a lizard that's coiled up on the back of the gnome. I can definitely see why this tree won first prize! There is definitely some animistic something going on here.

[@bonsaiempire]

Glad you liked it! Yes its the techniques we apply to keep them miniature, its not a dwarf plant or anything :) Perhaps check out website for some more info: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics

[@edinstruction2011]

THE TOTAL AGGREGATE NUMBER OF HOURS TO CREATE AND NURTURE ALL THESE TREASURES MUST BE CONSIDERED MAGNIFICENT...

Oh yeah I liked that one too!

[@LeoiCaangWan]

I feel like it would make a great backdrop for a cool swordfight or emotional confession.

Does anyone else imagine little stop-motion characters running around these pieces of art?

Yes they do! I think they'll communicate this on their facebook page

love the trees but wold like to have the information provided for each tree

[@lesliehall714]

Feel like these are all first place.

[@konradc.9007]

Its to bad that we do not have Bonsai shows here in Austria (not australia) YOu would have to drive over the borders with your Trees, which includes having a plantpassport for your ree, or yu canot bring it.

[@parisinthe30sx]

I find it funny you have to say not Australia after Austria lol I suspect you'd been asked that many times

[@daniels5177]

Das stimmt nicht. Der Pflanzenpass wird nur beim Handel benötigt und übrigens durch den jeweiligen Betrieb selbst ausgestellt. Kein grosser Zauber, aber nicht notwendig wenn man privat Pflanzen verbringt.

[@trenseni]

[@14luey]

Wow how long does it take to develop some of those trunks? 50 years plus?

[@bonsaiempire]

Yes :)

[@alexgourdplant]

Such amazing work, just. Breathtaking. Curious, why do so many of them look “dead” and leaf-less? For ex 10:30. Like the entire tree has become “Jin” as the deadwood technique? Finally, where in Europe did the exhibition take place? Would love to go one day!

[@bonsaiempire]

Well it was mid winter so all deciduous trees are dormant - but yes many of the Junipers and pines have a LOT of deadwood sometimes. This event takes place every year in Belgium.
