[@XOSuperDrive]

What a lucky kid to have Bjorn as a dad.

[@Rene_Voortwist]

Sooo, you are a dad? Never knew that. Congrats! You’re absolutely right to spend as much time at home as you can. You can never replace the time you miss being with your kid. Nice video aswell! 😊

[@MUSNifeb021978]

Big fan of your work

[@NimrodTargaryen]

Congratulations Bjorn for your baby

[@texasbonsaiguy]

Congratulations Bjorn. Fatherhood is a wonderful journey. Blessings to you and your family.

[@Alex-ip1dn]

Thank you, Bjorn. I love your travel videos and when you are able to tell your stories. It helps to show that bonsai is so holistic (art, culture philosophy, biology) it brings many experiences together ❤️

[@F_C...]

So cool how you were passionate about bonsai pretty much your whole life. Most people have a hard time finding their passion.

[@locutia7]

Congratulations! You will be a great dad, for sure. Love your videos.

[@robertobreglia2544]

Bjorn your videos are always fantastic! This is really an incredible nursery! Thanks so much and have nice time! 👍👍👍👍😊

[@jballenger9240]

And no doubt an equal or better NURSERY for the baby!!! Congratulations. Enjoy the new love!!!💖

[@evilshippo2]

Congratulations and thank you for the vlog, it's nice to see one again

[@Dave_0993_I]

Congrats' on the baby, I'll add to all the similar comments. Your life is now changing in amazing ways, I promise you.

[@HansKaramottoBonsai]

Thanks, Bjorn for taking us along on your Bonsai road trip! 🙏👌 And congrats to you and Nancy! Cheers, Hans van Meer.

[@simonlam4543]

It’s very nice to see you again

[@phasicsbonsaiworld6902]

Yes agree Nigel! Grats on the new born! And what an amazing Bonsai nursery!

[@mikemizer7486]

Love the journey,, have to Brussels Bonsai many years ago, a beautiful place and real nice people, and I got to meet Mr.Brussel,he allowed me to look at his private trees in quarantine,, they all were beautiful trees,

[@jeffhurst4744]

Yes, indeed. Wife and I would love to visit Brussels Bonsai Nursery.

[@waterlover]

Cool road trip that is for sure

[@aaryansetia9093]

This was fun to watch

[@alicer3423]

Wow Brussel's I have bought a couple of their trees.

[@bunce888]

The comment about being copied up in a van with Oyakata really touched home with my nostalgia about being with my late Oyakata on the same such road trips. Everything you said is identical to my experience and some how in a weird way made me feel somewhat closer in spirit to you Bjorn. Surely we visited different nurseries but the quality on show was amazing, such nice material just hidden away, and the pots available to buy on the way were just hidden gems in piles under the benches. RIP Urushibata Nobuichi

[@gregb7353]

Very cool seeing other peoples benches and setup. Also very nice to see Brussels, I've got to go there one day.

[@SilaSuwantara]

Nice video ... thanks for made great video like this sir ...

[@multipletanksyndrome]

My new house is only 3.5 hours from Nashville. Definitely planning a trip when you reopen.

[@kalandrakasartbonsai5400]

Big regards to your great collections bro... Greetings from Philippines...

[@DarthMasiah]

my first bonsai purchase was from Brussels. I'll make it there one day.

[@AkiYamakawa]

Very exciting to see this road trip vlog! Thanks for taking us along. I'm sure you got some satsuki there! 😉

[@thehsoic4228]

Congratulations on the birth. All the best.👍🏻

[@JEWELISA1977]

Was so excited when you said Mississippi! Then saw it was at the very top I am in the very bottom!! ): Will have to make a trip up there one day!

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I have quite a few trees from Brussel's...All are Pre-bonsai material. This year alone I bought 2, 8 year old Tridents, to sit beside a 5 year old I got from them last year, as well as 2 Shimpaku. Nice trees, just waiting for someone with the talent, vision and knowledge to move them to what they could be....Pretty cool seeing the place I buy most of my stock from. Thanks!

[@Gunzprobish]

Nice adventure and nice trees!

[@tallistallis4640]

Very nice. Tanks You.

[@DMBVR4]

You should see the Hinoki Cypress at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Donated by Peter Voynovich, its one of my favorite trees on earth. Styled as a formal upright and 80 years old, it looks lile a giant sequoia.

[@wadmadhushan4434]

Wow amazing bonsai. Super

[@derekm918]

Cool Boxwood Little Guy! 😎 Cool to see it in National Show someday!

[@sicsempertyrannis9024]

Kid: doesn't talk Bird: won't shut up 😄 Beautiful bonsai ❤

[@bonsaitera]

WHAT AN AMAZING JOURNEY!!

[@ironliver316]

Haha. Anyone else get their mind blow by seeing a guy working at Brussels, wearing a Mirai shirt, in an Eisei-En video?

[@alicer3423]

Newcomer here. I like the channel. Fantastic trees.

[@randallbyrd1973]

Very beautiful TY for sharing

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Awesome peek of the famous Brussel's!

[@Kalana_Herath]

Another fantastic video..👌🤩

[@gaddouen9624]

Thanx Björn

[@leelocd907]

Yes getting an azalea in the collection would be awesome‼️‼️

[@keithcompton2274]

Yes to the Satsukes!!

[@browniesbear]

1:06 mins in, damn i thought you gonna carry that big pine bonsai behind. lol

[@randysmith9636]

Love the road trip to Brussels. Being in lower mid Tn I have been to Brussels a few times now. It has been awhile but my "professional" tools were purchased there and a few of my trees. As you I always turn to the specimen pages of the catalog. Congratulations on the little one.

[@jerrefisher2184]

You must be kidding about getting a Satsuki….yes! Hopefully there’s one or more in the van…nice gift for Luna…. Great video. Glad you got out and away for a break in your routine and loved seeing more trees! As a matter of fact there is a rare Satsuki named Luna….just sayin…my grand daughter”s names are Magnolia and the one arriving in august will be named Rosemary…and yes I do have several bonsais of those same names…again..just sayin..have fun!

[@treesbonsaiperfect8420]

wow so beautifoll bonsai tree

[@gus473]

👍🏼 Looking forward to a visit!✌🏼😎

[@mattmiller2761]

My wife Ann and I are really missing all our friends at Brussel's. Sure hope Rendezvous weekend makes a return. Spring time just isn't the same without it.

[@stevevaughn2040]

I pondered why the art of bonsai was interesting to me. Other than living gnarly trees we have on the California coast. It hit me. I am a magician, and bonsai is similar. Magicians respect the magic of Japan, many go to learn from teachers there. In fact first Caucasian to become a certified Japanese native speaker to English translator was a magician who lived there to learn. Magicians work hard to learn how to make something look natural without the audience seeing, or knowing, the reality behind the magic. Both get the viewer to accept the illusion, gladly. Interestingly Robert Houdin, the guy Houdini took his name from, created an illusion where a seed is planted and a small orange tree grows, bears fruit, oranges, which are plucked, cut, and was served to the audience. Thank you for sharing your magic

[@robertjones7023]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.

[@bannon315]

cant wait to visit, my dude!

[@jakebonsai2165]

Great videos as always, I watch them while working on trees 🤘

[@derekm918]

Cool Trip!

[@williamkvashay9502]

Hi, I enjoy these videos. You visited a Pre-Bonsai Nursey in North Carolina, does anyone know where it was? Is there a pre-bonsai nursey near Chapel Hill or Durham, NC?

[@Qvigg]

Very cool man! Hope your family is doing well!

[@Chronokatan]

Would love to see you visit Herons Bonsai in the UK some day when things are more normal again. :D

[@PlantObsessed]

I was just at Brussels a few weeks ago. There were a fair amount of jumpers landed on my cart. Their bonsai dogs are not as cute as your puppy. Congratulations on your new baby.

[@jardindelbonsaiboquetepana8600]

You My favorite hello from 🇵🇦

[@eclectic1080]

Congrats w/ your First Baby, I check out your Chann. Every chance you Post . I've always Love/d the Art Of Bonsai . I've never actual had or purchased a Starter Bonsai Tree . But , Hope to deep into getting a start into it. If I can ask for a Favor , if you Know...at the time of Showing use a specific Tree like the Hinoki Cypress. Could you also let use Know the age of them as well. Thank You ... maybe you have on some of your Post !! Great Bonsai Channel ...

[@StopTheZombies]

do you still have the tree from when you were 13 from brussels?

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

I love satsuki/kurume... but I have at least 5-15 that die every year that I've been trying, lol. (just cheap starter plants and/or cuttings) None of my other plants have died; and I have plenty diff species... I will not give up tho.

[@LinusCello75]

Will the 2 new trees from Brussel’s be going to Rochester for the Nat’l Bonsai Exhibition?

[@bpmcgrain]

Are either Ensei-En or Brussel's open to the public yet? I live just north of Atlanta. My small bonsai club head been itching to come to Nashville to check out your trees 😁

[@HAJUBONSAI]

Great video

[@TyphoNxX7]

Thanks for the videos Bjorn, you're a great inspiration for me. Hope everything with the baby goes fine and you can sleep well it's hard on the beginning haha. Huge hug from Spain

[@mattdemoraes]

So interesting - thanks for sharing :)

[@garp9433]

Add an azalea to your collection hell yeah!!!

[@RedSinter]

That Hinok is gorgeous does it give off that unique aroma of the Hinok which I find intoxicating.

[@egoebonsai37]

Beautiful Bonsai. 👍🏾 Appretiate from Indonesia. 🙏🏾

[@nprabashwara3815]

Do you can type subtitles please Because I am not understand

[@arrcee1970]

Dude, gotta have Azaleas. They're so stunning when in bloom.

[@pochobailey]

So there's no need to tie the bonsais up so they don't move during the trip!? I love this road trip sharing idea 😊

[@yoopermann7942]

do you work on AMERICAN LARCH? i have 2 that i rescued from road expansion project, wish i had photos to share

[@komorebibonsaigarden6324]

This is bigger than Wigerts?

[@asanoen1777]

I think you should add Azaleas to your portfolio at your nursery I'm think 100 for starters, would be a nice start 😊 all field grown to start them 5 years in the ground would be a great head start.

[@trishferrer8209]

Whew!YouTalkSoFast!! Lol But I loved seeing this place. I must go see it in person. Thank you for this video. 😊

[@SuperPeleke]

Okay. Now I see how those muscles are fueled up. My questions are answered.

[@muffemod]

YO YOU COULD HAVE BEEN CREAMIN'

[@jillrsimmons]

Do it! Love Satsuki Azalea!

[@questionablecooking7019]

Strange, I didn’t see those trees up on the for sale page 😤😤😤🤣🤣🤣

[@ahb5819]

Bjorn why don't you collaborate with Ryan Neil ,imagine Nike X Addidas but in bonsai

[@egarner321]

I think their beliefs are quite different with bonsai but it would be an interesting collaboration. Possible hands being thrown 😅

[@Tch3677]

They are competitors

[@jimbersmcimbers]

Bjorn would never get a word in... Ryan knows his stuff but he uses 17 words when 1 would do

[@sasquatchdonut2674]

Congrats on the new addition to your family! Maybe he/she can be your youngest apprentice

[@andrewbetrosian2784]

I have a question, When I get to old to take care of my bonsai trees would I be able to give them to you? I live in Scottsboro Al. not to far away from you.

[@sudi_cloud]

I dream of an Araucaria bonsai. Do they have it there?

[@Iosis6]

My home town! Didn't know about the stuff outside. Definitely have to go check that out and see if I can find something. My brother worked there for a awhile but left because he was getting harassed by a co-worker.

[@multipletanksyndrome]

I'm moving from Vermont to Illinois, nervous about traveling with my trees.

[@danielkosta3134]

Just make sure your trees can't slide around in the vehicle or hit the sidewalls. Try to park in shade so they won't be overheated. Have taken trees on "car rides" many times with no problem. I live in Illinois so welcome to my state.

[@multipletanksyndrome]

@@danielkosta3134 Thanks! It's going to be three days in a box truck. I'm going to put them in last, so I can water them. I'm moving to Murphysboro. I'll have a couple acres, hopefully I'll get a couple more. Thinking of making a bonsai garden, open to the public. We'll see.

[@danielkosta3134]

@@multipletanksyndrome have a good trip. You will definitely need to water the trees. Never been to Murphysboro so can't tell you what its like. Hope you can build the bonsai garden. Sounds like a cool project. There will be a bonsai show at the Chicago Botanic Garden on the 3rd weekend of August. Come up if you can. Big show and lots of vendors.

[@multipletanksyndrome]

@@danielkosta3134 thanks! I'm definitely going to need to water them.

[@jillrsimmons]

We take our trees from northern NH to FL Keys and back twice a year with a monthlong stop in the mountains of NC. Good advice above from the other folks. Also either bring a case of water or one of those tiny watering cans to make sure the trees have something to drink along the way while making sure that your car’s carpeting doesn’t get soaked. If you have one of this dollar type stores around or even a tractor supply, get as many boot mats as you need to put the trees on. It’ll save you carpets, seats, or trunk (although I would never leave them in the trunk unless you have a drop down back seat so they don’t overheat or freeze). A couple or three gallon jugs filled with hot water and the trees covered has always gotten ours through a cold night on the way. We have been know to take them into the hotel room before we traveled with the RV. People may think you’re a little weird, but more often they love to check them out and asks questions. Those little guys are pretty hardy. Of course if you are traveling with northern trees they tolerate cold down to 29 degrees with no extra care. But even the tropicals will stay good with a minimum of care.

[@dracokaiser]

Let me know if you’ll be in Indianapolis!!!! Definitely add satsuki into your collection

[@lukasmihara]

Oh, baby at home? Congratulations Bjorn and Nancy! By the way, I think a few azaleas would be nice to have :)

[@hjacques]

I hope you took an Azalea back with you!

[@corazonmendoza79]
