Yamadori Bonsai Sub Alpine - Combination Of Two Collects

Combination of a collect from last and this spring. Mostly sub alpine Fir Bonsai and some Spruce Bonsai. For both of these collects I wasn't focused on making videos but on collecting tree and thus limited footage of me collecting. Just today I videoed some of the trees that I collected, so you get a chance to see them a year later and for some just 5 weeks after collection. I talk about various bonsai designs I have for the future. Next spring will be a big year for these trees as I begin the bonsai styling process. I hope to go "yamadori" again this early fall and so I'll make sure to take more footage so I can post a better video. I hope this inspires you to do more bonsai. Collecting trees is super fun make sure you have a permit or are on private land that you ask permission from the owner. Something really gratifying about collecting your own trees and supporting them along their bonsai journey.

A super video showing so many awesome trees! Strange to see no snow.

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Hahaha - there was some snow in shaded and northern side of the mountain 🏔 it just didn’t make the video. I should have got a video of it just for fun 👍😀

Yup super fun.

[@dannytang6671]

Great job ...intro was fantastic. Thumb up for your out door activity finding variety of small trees growing in the wild provide opportunities for bonsai cultivation that cannot be found in nursery stock or carefully raised seedlings. Look ahead to your out door hunting..👍👍👍👍

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Thanks I appreciate the positive feedback and comment😀👍

[@-kimisbonsai-]

Wow amazing! Yamadori is not possible in Japan now. Too much nature has been destroyed. I'm envious of your country's natural environment. Outside of Japan, the word yamadori has taken on a life of its own. I think it's important to have a balance. Anyway, I envy you🥺

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Thanks so much. Yes I feel so lucky to have access to this amazing material. 😀👍. Thanks for posting and commenting

@@kootenaybonsaicanada any chance of getting it to India? Please let me know.. ☺️🙏

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Ya few people have been asking about shipping the trees. I haven’t looked into it much and I’ll let you know if I start. It scares me that I would just be killing the trees trying to ship them.

[@RunFaster011]

Great video. Question.. when potting your collected trees, do you clean most of the field dirt off of the roots or do you just plant it with the soil that it has already?

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Great question. I leave as much of the original dirt as possible. I trim many of the tips of the roots and cut off any that are severely damaged in the collect. I place the tree/roots close to the bottom of the container (minimal soil from root base to bottom of the container). On the second report I do more major work on clearing the original soil but I still leave about half untouched. This can make watering difficult. I do more heavy cleaning of the original soil on deciduous versus conifers. Hope this helps😀👍

[@helberxd5027]

Muito lindo mesmo 😂😂

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

[@BostonBonsaiIdiot]

I love how any one of those trees, right out of the ground, are better than anything I’ll ever own! Just found your channel, love your stuff. Cheers!

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Just found yours. love your style and videos. keep posting more. I think we should do a zoom recording together and post on both of our channels? thoughts?

[@BostonBonsaiIdiot]

Kootenay Bonsai Canada love it. Even better, maybe an “interview” style video, ask some prerecorded questions...maybe we should chat via email?

[@SurnameExplained]

i hope ia can get one someday but its to far brrrrr so beuitiful

[@KaptenMerah-]

the abundance of bonsai materials there is amazing, from nature it is like a giant tree, very cool, really good, very creative, very inspiring for us beginners like us, greetings Indonesian bonsai lovers, don't forget to stop by our channel, omg

[@user-le4lm6xk6i]

[@smack09]

Planting position of shohin, semi cascade or swept to the right with the canopy coming back towards the centre of pot? Many options but these are what I saw... Nice...

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

Thanks for the design tip. At this point still unsure of what to do with it. It'll have to be next spring as for now it's getting settled and gaining strength.

Hello Mr.

[@omwidibercerita4658]

Londo tukang dongkel bonsai , podo wae ning jawa ya lur...

[@stevelacroix2917]

Montana, USA here. How do you winter over your yamadopi? Bonsai?? Does everything go into a green house or are some left outside?

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

It gets about -15 Celsius or 5 Fahrenheit at coldest where I live, usually for only a few days. We have lots of snow which insulates the trees. Mine go all outdoors heeled into the ground with no greenhouse or cover. So far results have been good. I may try bringing some into my basement for winter. All my trees so far are collected in the spring which gives them time to build roots, settle, and get strong. I am going to try collecting some in the fall and so I’ll see how they do overwinter. From what I gather it’s a lot warmer in your area so you should be ok but I’d still heel them into the soil, also depending on your snow fall it may or may not insulate your trees. Hope that helps. Most of my trees are native to my area and thus can take the cold climate. I did have a Rosemery die outside, I have two that I’m going to try to keep outside this year and my fingers will be crossed 🤞. Thanks for commenting

[@littletargets]

it is illegal?

[@kootenaybonsaicanada]

You need permission and permits to collect and only in certain place and some trees you are not allow to collect. So the short answer is no but there are some step to take😀👍

It’s that time of year 😄. Hope your journey was successful and inspiring for the possibilities? I still get this nervous/excitement about collecting and working on trees. 4 years in and still lovin it. So grateful bonsai has called to us. Thanks for the post 👍
