This vid was really helpful thanks. I have just managed to get permission to collect in the new year from three quarries near me here in the north of england. Already got my eye on a few scots pines, a massive gnarled hawthorn and a stunted little twisted old oak that looks awesome. Take care.
I was so jealous watching you look around that shale pit. Just so many good looking trees for your collection. Great video and very relaxing to watch. Thanks James
I don't comment much on the videos I watch, subscribe and LIKE, and I do that on ALL your videos James. Well done...I feel like you take my blood pressure down about 20 points listening and watching your videos...and that's a compliment. WELL DONE.
That first tree looks like a nice Charlie Brown Christmas tree. You just need the Charlie Brown gang around the tree at Christmas time. Cool little tree.
To me, at least on camera, the second tree is the best. Who cares about my opinion… they all look great! Looking forward to seeing the Azalea in bloom!
I can't believe you just pulled the tree with one hand and intact root system. Looks so easy. In my area soo rocky with long runners which usually barely have fine roots. I'm always afraid of tree survival.
don't cut of the bottom branches till you feed it an get it back to health takes about 5 years they thicken the trunk, now if you feed it heavy the branches will thicken and the taper will inverse in about 8-10 years
That seems really cruel to continue. I guess we didn’t learn anything from the Japanese. They have emptied their Forrest of all Yamadori. You immediately start pruning as it wasn’t enough to rip them out of the ground. You probably kill a lot of trees. Stop bragging about the amount you bring home. Most of us don’t agree with your glutney approach to bonsai.
