Trees I Value the Most

I discuss my bonsai inventory, and analyze my bonsai collection to determine what kinds of trees I value the most, and what kinds of trees I value the least. I answer the question: Do I place higher value trees that I've paid more for? The answer surprised me.

Very very interesting!! Lots to think about. I am just starting in bonsai, I have maybe...16 trees, and most are ones I dug up from my yard or I am trying to root cuttings from. I am 61 years old this year so I don't have 30 years to grow stuff in the ground. So my thoughts are shifting to buying only a few trees a year, but buying older ones which will of course, cost more. I am not tech saavy but maybe I can get my husband to help me start a spread sheet.

Sounds like a good plan, starting with older material is a great way to get results faster. I love how there are a lot of ways to do bonsai, as varied as are people.

2022 was a fun year for you! 😊 fun analysis!

Hi Dave! Thanks for the comment, good to hear from you (I'm a fan of yours). It was indeed a fun year for me - I was very excited about bonsai. Since then I've tried to exercise more control in acquiring new plants...

@@BonsaiNorthwest control…now that’s hard to find when the obsession hits!

@BonsaiNorthwest 18 дней назад

@DavesBonsai Yeah, I haven't quite mastered the skill of not buying too many plants, but I'm improving.

Maples are my favorite!! We are lucky to live in growing zones that are able to grow SO many different tree varieties well. Interesting video, friend!! Thanks for sharing. I would be embarrassed if I calculated how much I have invested into my bonsai obsession!😅

@BonsaiNorthwest 22 дня назад

Yes, I love that I can grow JM in this climate. We are indeed lucky. Haha, I hear you about not really wanting to confront how much I've spent on bonsai. And when I also add in pots, tools, soil, water, etc... I've spent a fair bit. Plus all the time. But bonsai has brought me a lot of joy. There are much worse vices to have.

@Foxtrot1967 21 день назад

as you grow in the hobby, you'll want to invest in older bigger trees which cost alot, unless you dig up your own. Bonsai is addicting and can be expensive

@BonsaiNorthwest 20 дней назад

Yes, I anticipate buying fewer but more expensive trees in the future. I'm already on the look out for my next Japanese Maple. I'm guessing I'll soon surpass my record of spending no more than $100 on a single tree, despite being proud of that fact. I am, however, into smaller trees, so I'm not sure if I'll necessarily move onto buying bigger trees in the future, although it's difficult to anticipate how my tastes might change in coming years.

Bonsai analytics! 📉 📈 📊

@BonsaiNorthwest 15 дней назад

Yep, kind of an odd video. The analysis really was enlightening to me. I think there can be some benefit to stepping back and analyzing your collecting habits and favorite trees, to inform what direction to take in the future.

@luckytobehere7948 15 дней назад

True that..I saw the same uptick In materials purchased in the 22-23 season as well. Must be a pandemic 😷 thing!

@BonsaiNorthwest 15 дней назад

@@luckytobehere7948 Yep, I think you're right, pandemic related. I remember hearing that houseplant sales increased substantially during the pandemic.
