Urban Yamadori Extraction 

Any opportunity to see shots of the larger Mirai garden always amazes me. Fantastic work everyone there. Thank you for sharing with the world ❤️

Can't wait to see this tree in ten years.

So incredibly simple (not easy) and of course so well done as always! Thank you for sharing this.

Man I think I found the person who really go to the point on details. Appreciate your work and videos. I’ll be in a garden yamadori mission today and feel much more confident to do so because of this video. Blessings. I’ll be following you, thank you again!

14:39 😂 the way he just went "hey kid, listen, bonsai ain't easy" I was like damn, that really spoke to me 🙂

¿He tenido un deja vu? 😜 ¡Gracias por compartir! ¡Salud!

Grazie mille per tutti gli insegnamenti.

Thanks 👍Was a joy to watch. Interesting to keep your plantingbox as small as possible. I am always focused on having the tree bounce back, by putting it in a big pot.

17:40 Using a shopvac to reduce the rootball has been working the best for me.

First time I've seen a bonsai box being made, awesome video!

Thanks Ryan for the content, this is very inspiring and helpful to most of us out there who live in urban/suburban places. Plus Urban Yamadori, helps keep people out of the public land collecting trees from valuable environments meant to be kept preserved.

Love the way you explained everything,looking forward to see further development done on this tree.Thank you💯

Wow! I've watched a few of your vids. What a natural teacher. Unscripted with great editing. Simple, logical and to the point. Would love to see an update before winter.

I wish I would have watched this before collecting a beautiful cherri blossom from an abandoned lot in my neighborhood 😭 you live and you learn I guess. Great video!! Very comprehensive.

It looked awesome when you had it on its edge before you potted it. Oh well. Next repot maybe!

14:53 Love to see the human behind the teacher for a change :) great content as always!

Thank you, Ryan! 🌳🙌

I love mirai aways

That was incredible to watch

🤩 die Rotation im Stamm und die Verjüngung ist der Hammer. Von der Holz Box bin ich nicht begeistert. In Deutschland sagen wir. Der Zweck heiligt die Mittel. Hoffe er kommt in ein paar Jahren wieder vor die Linse 👍🏼

Very nice. I usually put the bottom outside boards in a bit to create extra drainage gaps between them and the wall boards.

i know you are the 先生 here, but let me share some ideas i believe the correct sentence is machidori instead of yamadori 山=yama: means montain 取=tori : is the radical of 取ります (torimasu) verb to get 町=machi: means city 山+取 =>山取 montain+get => get on the montain, collected from the montain 町+取=>町取 city+get => get on the city, collected from the city in japanese, when words starting in "t" are used with another such as tori does in yamatori 町取 or machitori 町取 the pronouce of the "t" becomes "d" becomes dori yamadori=>山取=>collect on the montain machidori=>町取=>collect on the town It is very common the refer to trees collected on urban areas as yamadori as it is the first coined term, from the trees first collected trees on the woods, as the time passed, people started to repurpose existing trees on the villages/towns to cultivate it as bonsai, they called it machidori anyway, i think its OK to call any material colleced at the nature yamadori as there is no 海取 (get on the beach) or 自然取 (get on the nature) terms, but in the case of something you collect at an urban area it is a good idea to call machidori as there is something more on it i believe machidori is about giving a new life to an old tree collected on human settlements, trees that arecommonly neglected, in bad health, under water stress and sometimes would die otherwise, is to transform an old behemoth into many small wonders, and give them the possibility to live, eat good food, drink fresh water, feel the sunshine again on brand-new leaves and maybe even fruit in a life that they fit so...i am from Brasil and a bonsai novice so maybe there is someone better to dig it deeper and tell me if i am wrong :)

Love you, ryan! 😘 Thanks for sharing!

Glad to have stumbled upon your channel

great job Ryan - looking forward following this monster :)

Thanks for all the info Ryan!!!

Absolutely love this. Cheers.

FOIST?

Would love a follow up on this! Also why only pumice?

your passion is fantastic, very admirable talent, excellent work

Cannot wait to see where you take this tree Ryan

the start of a beautiful relationship. what a tree

Trimakasih telah berbagi tentang bonsai

Hi Ryan great job ,but for me that was a two man operation. One digging and the other guy pulling the tree as you undercut the roots which would have made the work much easier on you.

Great tree.

Thanks so much.

I wish we could see the miniatures. I don’t think it’s represented enough between the RU-vid big shots. Bonsai diaries. This guy is a genius of his own style. Maybe Ryan could do a video or talk about this style. Amazing what he does with Cryptomeria. He does not talk :(

As far as I'm concerned this is the ONLY yamadori video on RU-vid, hell yeah thanks for the great information.

LOVE BONSAI MIRAI! Interesting, enjoyable, and informative video, well done! My cringe-worthy moment was when I realized that I did not see any safety glasses when operating that miter saw! Flying wood splinters vs human eyeball, not good!

Man take a breath dude 😆 Nice video

Gorgeous tree, bonsai to be.

Can't wait to work on my bonesai

Ryan, can bonsai pruning and styling ever be applied to trees planted in soil? Aas you began pruning the Pieris japonica, it imagined you were not going to dig this specimen up but keep in the spot where it appeared to be thriving. Didn’t realize it might actually be too sunny. I I’d love to see a yamadori, or other collected specimen, treated, styled and kept miniature, like a bonsai in place. Can that be done to some extent?Bonsai in situ, so to speak. Is there such a tree art form for bonsai? Would that be topiary, but without the recognizable shapes and forms? Appreciated how you spoke so respectively of the growth, the vigor, natural layering and roots of this plant. It looked beautiful and very healthy.

41:00 it's not so much tying the tree to the box as tying the box to the tree. How is this tree doing now?

How is this beautiful tree doing?😊🌳

'Yardadori' as some call it is a major untapped source of mature specimens. Contact your local suburban landscapers . When they have a major yard makeover job it could possible provide some desirable material.

Hey there is a mountain loral tha is just gorgeous near my house n is massive but it’s kinda hugging a big oak tree do u think there is a chance I can still harvest or is best to leave alone man the oak is about 6-8 inches thick n the loral is about 5 inches thick is it possible would appreciate it ^.^ this Chanel has tough me so much man thank you for all the knowledge at no expense

Why didn't you wash the root ball removing all the old soil? I can't find the answer to this in the video. I understand that this practice was common in deciduous trees. Thank!

do you have an update video on this?

What are the dimensions of the box and how did you determine that size?

It's such a great feeling, pulling that tree out of the ground.

Why not dig a trench around the tree and use it for hoizontal access to the bottom of the rootball? Maybe you could avoid prying it so much when getting it out.

Bonesigh can't un-hear it

There u are baby ^.^!!

Those leaves 🍃 look like a mango tree

👍👌👌👌🍎🙂

bone's eye

man, that box its to small, its smaller than the bonsai of the back and that bonsai its not that big.... the high of the pot its ok, but the wide its small for the size of the tree...

You either have a shower at your worksite, or you hose off in the backyard when you get home cuz you get dirty, my friend.

You need to learn how to work smart not hard. Example: 1. Slow, deep, pre-soak the soil the night before. 2. Wrap tow strap around base as low to the ground as possible 3. Tie the other end of tow strap to truck bumper or tractor 4. Slowly move forward 5. Plant and root ball will pull up out of the ground with ease

I couldn't help,too laugh. When Ryan is positioning the tree in the pot , wrestling back and forth, attempting to get the tree deeper ,in the box . truly a big kid moment.
