YAMADORI - Collecting Bonsai Trees From The Forest

[@antbanks1985able]

I was wondering if you guys had any pics or an update video of how the yamadori you collected is doing now? Thanks

[@reddy969]

What type of Potting Mix did you used

[@DMBVR4]

"In the wild" is such an elusive area. Most places are either State or National ground, or private property.

[@geoffbreen2386]

It's amazing what you can find growing on the side of the road, even in "wasteland" where people dump rubbish.

[@bonsaiaventurasmexico4352]

I'm mexican I watch your videos

[@BonsaiTalk]

Cool!

[@claudioestrada1671]

Great video once again! Congrats for the beautifull material. Also loved the river at the begining. See you soon! :)

[@crisantoflores3011]

Great hunt. The best example of Yamadori method I have seen. Good job.

[@HrRezpatex]

I have thought about the mechanics for trees here in the north. I have read that they enter a hibernation at autumn when their leafs have changed colour. Also some garden experts say that this is a good time to cut branches and put in soil/sand until spring. So my thought about this has been: When we pick Yamadories at spring, it might be a good idea to cut more branches of it, so the roots and the trunk does not have to bring so much energy around. But when we pick at autumn(if that is a good idea at all, i hope it is, because i am desperate for longer Yamadori seasons..) anyway.. At autumn we should maybe let there be as many branches and leafs as possible, since the tree are sending energy to its roots and trunk as long as there still is colour in the leafs. (For the same reason, i dont think the trees hit hibernation before all colour are out of the leafs when i think about it..) Any thought about going out and getting Yamadories on autumn too? (beside from that it is most probably even safer to get it in spring) ;) (A oak tree i collected 3 weeks ago are growing like a bureaucracy in my pot now by the way, but i know that one can be lucky too, so that alone is not a sign that it is still a good season for all kind of trees, or even for oak trees..)

[@BonsaiTalk]

Hey Petter "The Converstation Starter" Eliseussen.. *1."When we pick Yamadories at spring, it might be a good idea to cut more branches of it, so the roots and the trunk does not have to bring so much energy around."* Answer/Thoughts: YES it's not a smart idea to start doing heavy pruning in autumn, especially on weaker material, but it depends on what species of trees we are talking about. You can go a little bit harder on pines for example, in opposite to junipers when it comes to topiary, foilage pruning/thinning.. because the strength/energy will be used/stored in different places. Pines = Roots, Juniper = Foilage/growing tips. *2. "Any thought about going out and getting Yamadories on autumn too?"* Answer/Thoughts: YES, most likely, the evergreens have stopped/slowed down the metabolism ALOT now..Pines are perfect to collect in oct/nov, especially Sylvestris. You just have to make sure you have a sustainable, NOT wet rootclump full of soggy soil, and that you can protect it with large amounts of substrate/leafs as topdressing, insulation, with drainage or some kinda frost frame if you are concerned about the overwintering, because we should be concerned about that since it's freshly dug up. That oak.. I'm not sure about that, oaks are very sensitive and i wouldn't recommend ever collecting decidous/broad's in autumn, however, if you can dig up all roots, without disturbing a single part of the rootsystem and pick up the whole chunk of soil and plant that in the ground at your place...ehhhh, probably, go for it, with extreme caution. You need to practice your patience, then bonsai.. Solve it by getting alot of trees and let them grow more, work less. Start that idea now in spring... the paradox is that you will have more work to do anyway then you can imagine, however this, i'm not gone argue with this wisdom.... *"Killing trees, is the price you will pay to learn bonsai -John Yoshi Naka"* This is very, very true to some extent, Bonsai is a learn-by-doing hobby.

[@HrRezpatex]

ajajaj.. even if i must count on it to happen, i really will be frustrated when i see my first dead tree. But most of the time i believe it will go well. Thanks for your answer. :)

Where or what brand model is that pull/power lift tool? Never seen it before but has me very interested.

[@bannon315]

best bonsai music out there! Love it all

[@chick3n6190]

is it possible to take a tree year around or only in spring/summer? :D

[@realrebelli0n]

It's best to do it in spring before the new growth starts, so march or april. It's also entirely possible to do it in the fall, but then the tree won't be able to regenerate quite as well as in spring because winter is coming. I think summer would be the worst time to do it.

[@yoyis95]

great job do you have an update for the last trees?

[@rionjb]

Great stuff! What type of soil do you guys use after collecting the trees?

[@AFMR0420]

Nice editing, music, exploration, patience, accents, and content.

[@catabaticanabatic3800]

Hi guys. What medium did you use to grow the tree in and have you had good success with deciduous and conifers with it?

[@joschkokroger2699]

I think they used cat litter. I've seen that on other channels as well as a good alternative for akadama (pricey ^^) But i've got no experience with it myself. Would be interested to know how good that works and if you should mix it with other soil?

[@really2345]

@@joschkokroger2699 Do NOT use kitty litter. It bears no relation to akadama. It absorbs way too much moisture. Another useless video.

[@joschkokroger2699]

kudos man. very good finds! and wow lucked up on the root mass, very flat, just perfect. I recently dug up a beech tree I have been messing with in my woods for the past 5 years or so. roots where not that great hope it makes it. nicely done though. keep it up I enjoy your videos

[@nikolaus2688]

What soil are you using? Kittydama?

[@BonsaiTalk]

Always Diatomite (Kittydama) for Yamadori..

[@nikolaus2688]

Thanks.

[@BrandonTran]

Excellent excellent video. Such a great successful hunt. Great work guys!

[@BonsaiTalk]

Thanks Brandon Tran! We had a great day and now the most exiting time of the year is upon us - SPRING! Let the buds swell and the growth be strong!

[@bonsaitera]

GREAT JOB !!!

[@peterboneg]

Great material. Especially the Birch. You don’t wire the trees into the pot though? I would also leave longer stubs on the cut branches for Birch to prevent die back.

[@BonsaiTalk]

Whats up Peter? Actually they are both wired in place with black aluminium wire, might not be so easy to see on the footage tho.. The birch has alot of branches and resources..but you are right, we always save alot, they are notorious for die-back..

[@dermunchner7713]

great job! please keep going!!

[@BonsaiTalk]

Oh yes.. we will.. Thanks, and welcome to BT

[@my_bonsai_and_koi]

Is there an update how the trees look like after two years? Thanks!

[@scottarant5741]

What soil medium did you use to transplant into the crates?

[@BonsaiTalk]

Hey Scott! Always diatomaceous earth (catlitter non-clump) It's also called Moler. Sometimes when we have the resources and will we also add pumice/lavarock.

[@OneFrenk]

Love the music in your videos!!

[@Edgar-Culajay]

Excelente video! Saludos Dios te siga bendiciendo siempre!

[@RedRockShane]

What was the soil you were using?

[@BonsaiTalk]

Diatomite (diatomeous earth is a naturally occuring stone particle) - commerical known as clumpfree catlitter. It's equally good as "bonsaisoil" which can be heavily overpriced, such as akadama and lavarock. Perfect for yamadori.

[@lipschom]

Bonsai Talk haha I thought that looked like cat litter and was scrolling through to find out if I was right 😊

[@bonsaiinjavalandtv5857]

Awesome Video !

[@HrRezpatex]

Living in Norway i am lucky with all the mountains and the lucky effect that often have on both roots and the shape of the trees. But my interest for Bonsai is very new and there is so extremely many things i need to learn. As you are Swedish and know much more about bonsai and trees in general i was hoping you could help me with a question. My main plan is to get most of my trees from the nature here, but i lack basic knowledge about it. Is there for example a scale/list of what Scandinavian trees that grows most easy? What kind of trees develop roots fastest? What kind of tree can take most damage on their roots and still survive? (I care most about the roots at this moment, because when i get them home i will keep everything on them until the roots have developed in the pot.) Again thank you for your videos, they are both helpful and a good inspiration. :)

[@BonsaiTalk]

First of all, i know that you have just started your Bonsai journey, you are now entering the world of Bonsai Talk and that's awesome! Make sure that you watch ALL of our content, all videos we have because alot of specific answers is out there in our content, for sure. When it comes to your questions..I tell you what, we are gone save these questions for an upcomming Q&A part 2, but the simplified answers is: 1. Is there for example a scale/list of what Scandinavian trees that grows most easy :Birches develop roots very fast and has good progression fast, just as most decidious trees do here 2.What kind of trees develop roots fastest = Decidious trees and Junipers 3. What kind of tree can take most damage on their roots and still survive = Ligustrum, Olive, Ficus and Syringa is very tough, just to mention some few species.. this is a huge topic. When it comes to Pines, strenght and energy is located in the roots. When it comes to Junipers, strength and energy is located in the foilage. When it comes to decidious trees, strengh and energy is stored and located in the vascular system (Branches & Trunk) simply put..

[@HrRezpatex]

Thank you, that is a very good start :)

[@jeffincharlestonsc]

New to this, i have a willow oak that i just root pruned in ground to collect this winter! My guestion is should i repot with clean roots or should i wait to wash the soil , this species of oak does best at being moved when completely dormant? Its been growing in shrubs for years and has been constantly pruned by the land scaping crews, so it will never amount to anything for those questioning my collecting it!

[@adbonsai481]

I've watched countless videos on collecting yamadori, but this one is exceptionally great! Love those trees. Excellent work, you both! 👍🏻

[@CConn-df7hy]

What substrate is that you used on the larch when planting in the plastic near the end?? Thx

[@dannyellis971]

Chris Conn it looks to be cat litter.

[@filliettaz]

I wonder the same...

[@BonsaiTalk]

It's diatomite (Diatomaceous earth), Commercial catlitter non-clump substrate..

[@Highland_reef]

Nice trees. Have you considered planting one (or more) trees at the place you extracted the yamadori? In my eyes, having permission from the landowners is just secondary to the fact there is one tree less in nature. I know this is very controversial and rather than this being a critique, I aim to know your thoughts.

[@BonsaiTalk]

Iván Moya There is not one less tree in nature after yamadori on a philosophical plane. Thats how we see it.. The trees are still here..Starting their new lives in our hands.. Beautiful and strong. We are all part of nature, our planet is nature. However, we do support the idea and I like the thoughtprocess behind it, the microclimate and ecosystem is ofcourse important, and this is something we could imply in our work. Let's grow!

[@ogajodocenario]

Just a question: I see you use cat litter as soil. That would be very inexpensive for me as mix for my soil. Should I look out for some ingredient that's bad for the trees or I'm safe buying the cheapest one? Thanks a lot

[@BonsaiTalk]

Catlitter is great .. Just make sure it is: 1. 100% Diatomite 2. Non-clump free 3. No parfume or strange extra particles

[@ogajodocenario]

Bonsai Talk so what does it look like now? It’s been a year since this video and I’m trying to see how it turned out for you guys.

[@r.m.strong]

I've had a small Bonsai, my first attempt, been working with it for the past 9 or so years , the first three years I had pulled it up high enough to place an interesting rough stone under them . , on the 4th year placed in pot over stone . , been over winterizing in the ground, at the same spot I harvested it . " I live in Alberta Canada , Winters , Snow ! - 30s and such " , trees been doing well . However it's been a hot dry summer. I've not been around home as much this summer , it's not had as much watering, and its roots need attention I'm uncertain at this stage of the season of what to do ? Theres a number of lower needles gone red " it's a blue spruce " .. soil is still over stone and roots . Been trying to allow roots to thicken before surface exposure . Needs a bigger pot . .. funny , as I'm writing this , am watching your video and laughing at my question. Still . Any tips or thoughts on your own process of tree recovery and wintering would be awesome. Had this notion to create a space in the basement over winter . Either a greenhouse , " but thatd mess up its cycles right " or under my stairway in the root cellar , . Or still better to overwinter outdoors ? It's just that I'd like to tend to the roots , was a bad Bonsai tender this year , hardly been home . . Fixing up a cabin . To move me Bonsai too

Hey man... Tricky question, it depends on age, health status and species.. Rule of thumb is to wait an extra year if you are uncertain about the recovery rate of the collected tree, Horticulture > Bonsai.
