- In this episode of Bonsai-U, Bjorn and the team repot the largest, and oldest, tree at Eisei-en - this massive One-Seed Juniper. Originally collected in the desert of New Mexico at an elevation of 4500 feet, this Juniper Bonsai is perhaps the best of its class in the world. Watch as the gang takes you through the mechanics of repotting this extra-large bonsai!
Note* This tree was collected legally by the owner of the land upon which it grew.

Really awesome work. How did you estimate the 1400 yrd of this tree ?
Did you do a carbon14 analyse ?
Thx to share with us your awesome works.
Regards
I absolutely love your content, but could you make a video about leaf size reduction. I have couple of maples that need work on that department.
It never ceases to amaze me how relatively little root a tree actually needs to survive - great job with the repotting!
well this tree is mostly driftwood
If the roots are well structured and mostly fine roots. It's effectively a much larger root system, vompressed
The bloopers at the end were amazing and I can't get enough of the new puppy :)
Yes! Thank you for keeping us entertained in these difficult times. Bonsai on !
Nice phrase!
Perfect for the times right now. Thanks Bjorn.
The bloopers at the end are hilarious. I would like to know how they dig out and transportet this tree out of the Desert O.o
After watching this, all my bonsai look like sticks in pots...
shaun jones and believe or not the tree shown isn’t even close to some of the big boys around in the hobby
Dude.. we are all thinking the same.. inferiority complex anyone? Jokes aside, creds to Björn for taming the beast.
Thank goodness... I wasn't the only one who felt that way. HA!
I have found that after watching these videos I really have to love my trees that look like sticks in pots.
That tree is on another level!
This is such a spectacular tree! It will be a joy to see it developing.
This plant is simply amazing Bjorn !!! You are a reference for me! Congratulations from Brazil and continue with this beautiful work !!!
After repotting this beast looks just amazing. I’m sure this yamadori will become a famous tree over time and history in your nursery. Congratulations
What a beautiful tree! Amazing how little root is actually needed for a tree to survive. Loved the outtakes at the end!
Out of curiosity, do you ever feel bad or conflicted about taking something like this out of the wild? It's such a spectacular specimen, sort of like sticking an ancient big tusker in a zoo...
Well trees live more while under human care. Pathogens are dealt with and things are prunned to stimulate healthy growth. Also acquiring nutrients stops being an issue. So long as there are caretakers the tree can go indefinitely throught the centuries.
I feel that these trees have had a terrible life out in the wild and in taking them in they will have a better life. Also I think it's important to show what nature has to offer, showing the beauty of nature is important.
I had a similar thought. It wouldn't be allowed in the UK. Although I'm not necessarily against it.
@@timothybriggs8422 UK definitely has collected Bonsai, beautiful ones.
@@qqqqqqqq1407 petiyo101 it's estimated to be 1400years old. Life in the wild couldn't have been that bad and the beauty of nature can easily be shown in photographs and in fact, though this tree looks beautiful with styling and in the pot, one could argue that it was more beautiful growing in the mountains.
I've always had a dream of owning/cultivating a large Japanese black pine bonsai and this was some great motivation!
Love your videos man. So glad you finally have your own nursery /garden /company. I’m a carpenter out of the Pacific Northwest. I practice bonsai as well. Me and my good friend both follow tour videos and find them super informational.
Makes me think repotting my amur maple from a training flat into a 16 inch pot today will be "a piece of cake".
That's is an amazing work, that pot look really nice, in shape and proportion 👌🏼
cool to see the pup playing with the monrovia pot. i grew up super close to the nursery (and it is huge!!)
Omg what a monster. I have some big trees but they are dwarfed by this Juniper. It looks great in the new pot. Great fit an great work!
The production on your videos are great. Very entertaining!
This is the most beautiful tree that you show us!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I hope to see this tree in person in the near feature!!!
Will be going to Tennesee this coming spring, I will definitely stop by to see your awesome trees and buy one or two
The tree is crazy but the bloopers are the best !!! Good job guys !!🤟🏻🤟🏻
Rafa! Welcome to TH-cam, greetings from Sweden... :)
Love the water shot and the bloopers at the end! Super interesting video :D
Can't lie, love these videos already, but loved it even more for Aluminium.
Much love from a Brit 🙈
This guy can join my survival team for sure.
I want to thank you sir I've always loved gardening I think it's hereditary but you have open me up to bonsai and I have studied a fair bit on TH-cam and I've learned a lot thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with me and everybody else for free it is the greatest gift anyone can ever receive is knowledge with knowledge Anything is Possible. I am also very fortunate that I live in a city that is called the forest City it's not a huge City maybe half a million people but you would be shocked at the amount of trees in my city the amount of different Forest and species obviously we have a river actually you have a 3 that can join in the middle of our city in my backyard alone I have he's great Hedges that twist and turn the amount of possible yamadori at my doorstep is absolutely staggering on my property alone is your average city lot probably a dozen different trees or hedges I'm not sure what species they are but they are magnificent if one was to air layer I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a good 20 yamadori which would already have a lot of movement and Intrigue in the trunk and branches I've lived here for 2 years I have been following your stuff for Buddy year I'm really trying to learn how a bonsai Master goes about his business I didn't even realize what I had until you enlighten me thank you sincerely and honestly if it was not for you specifically I don't know if I would have the appreciation for these trees that I do now and I've always being a gardener like I said it runs in the family and I'd love to trees I just didn't know what they were capable of thank you I know I appreciate it every tree before have a different appreciation for them now
What a masterpiece! How about a huge stone slab of some kind for a stand?
Thanks. I caught myself smiling in the end.
All your guys hard work paid off!
Looks incredible! What a fantastic tree! Well done guys! You guys rock!😎
A good pot really does make a difference!!
oh cool, John helped you guys on this one! Awesome! love these!
Surprised how few roots it had. Smart, young bucks to help do the work. At 70 I'm really feeling it. My son can't help cause of the Pandemic. I've only got 2 biggies to transplant though.
This is incredible! How do you guys manage to collect such a large piece from the NM desert? or anywhere?
I'm not ready really sure what to write! Still stunned
Well done , thank you for sharing. Magnificent tree !
Wow, that bonsai is majestic!!
Wow. Not much else to say, that tree is badass
Wow!!! That was great to watch. Thank you for sharing
That isn't a bonsai pot it's a bath tub! Wow, what a tree!
Insane piece of dead wood! Just love it!
What a massive engineering project!, very interesting and funny video, loved the trolley part. Big thumbs up for you guys!, keep up rocking hard!
Beautiful
Haha, those re-takes. We have been there, done that. Majestic tree bjorn - crossing fingers that the substrate will not break down to early, you do not want to repot a tree like that often..
Waooooo Great work Bjorn. Congratulation to the work team
Ciao Bjorn! Looks like the pot is oversized!!! Anyway, great job!!!💪💪💪
That would actually be considered an imperial size bonsai!!!! Looks so much better after repotting!!!
Hahaha that was all awesome, glad you were able to get this done!
I repotted my pre-bonsai in trainers, Bjorn had boots and uses a crane!🙄 Out takes as well👍
you sitting in the pot is just hilarious itself🤣🤣
You said the tree was collected, did you collect it yourself? How did you find out about the tree? It a fantastic looking tree, great job team.
Wow... Just the thought of repotting a bonsai tree that entails using shovels and hoist... incredible! Great job and presentation. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
The thing's gonna explode once it figures out there is all that room there. Good substrate choice for feeder root promotion. A root ball that size is likely to want to lay some pipe as opposed to feeder roots for sure! Interested to see how long that takes to figure out its free! EPIC!
That looks amazing, stunning tree 🥋
Woww...its greatfull, amazing bonsai 😍😍😍
WOO! Absolutely amazing. Thanks
Great job Bjorn! Always have great videos!
great video. thanks for sharing
Any concern about the remaining 'field soil'? What is the plan for the removal of that 'peanut butter'?
Looks amazing
6:55 the pot weight a ton (1000kg / 2204,623lb) by himself... 8:10 he lifted with her hands... WTF. Did you have superpowers?
Gorgeous.
Fantastic! Great video! Thanks.
So what makes a Juniper get that amazing swirly dead wood? Do the trunks of all Junipers grow all swirly like that and do they all make deadwood at some point?
Curious, how much does a pot that size cost?
Doubly curious
What a wonderful project, I’m so fascinated by this, keep up the good work. Beautiful puppy too what’s it’s name?
incredible . . . thanks for this awesome introduction! PEACE
Where’s the link to the original styling you promised?
Such an incredible work on this tree. Do you think the bonsai size pot and the three fit well? I think its too big for this tree, but also you improve the health. Anyways great video, i really wnjoy this section on the channel i really learn a lot.
Thanks and regards from Spain
Did Not know, a bonsai could be that large & still be considered a bonsai(?)
💪Rock n Roll Bonsai at its finest👌
Yamadori monster! Menunggu first styling
Love it
That was huge
You guys can take all the risks you want :) Just want to mention this. Would it make sense to build it and the move the tree under it? Or is it best practice to construct around a tree?
Einfach nur geil👍
Ha Bjorn how on earth did you carry that monster out of the mountains
Hi @EiseienBonsai, what business/ where at in FL did you purchase the pot? I’m looking to repot a monster kind of like that (~400 lbs though). Thanks!
Incredible!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing the pot was a Wigerts buy? F*cking badass tree btw!!

That pup could do some damage to your dead wood there. Hopefully there are some alternatives for him to teeth on.
AWESOME
Eres el mejor.
How many bags of soil did you use?
Amazing!!
Nice! How much did that pot cost?
Where did you get that bonsai pot from? I have a forest and I need a larger pot.
Epic
Wow!
We're not assured of "normal" shopping even by this Summer. If your business is bonsai, you have to take care of business. So if late March in Nashville is optimal repotting time, repot you must. Especially for the care of a 1400-year-old.
I don't think that vegetable farms should not plant, or that commercial fishing boats should not assemble their crews, while wauting for an "all clear."
Those with a totally in-the-home income might not understand. However, someone had to experience close human contact in order to harvest, process, or package the food which you just had delivered.
Notice how eating alone puts others in danger.
Great video! Made just before masking up was recommended, I think.
How do you estimate the bonsais age of 1400years? With that age that bonsai would make it into the list of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_trees
Funny .. the title changed from Repotting a 1400y old bonsai to The Mechanics of Repotting a Massive Bonsai. Interesting non the less...
@@padreigh Noticed.. But hey, it works.
It may be so, but it is scientifically impossible to determine. It's really speculations - like u have already theorycrafted about..
@@BonsaiTalk its possible. C14 analyse. Very effective.
The Methuselah Grove has trees well over 3,000 and 4,000 years old and 1 that was discovered to be over 5,000 years old
Amazing video :)
Sorry Bjorn, I think I’ll stick with trees of a size that won’t give me a damned hernia trying to move them! Good job tho!
Probably a stupid question - what is all that wood sticking out all over the place ? Is that dead branches or trunk that was never allowed to bud ? Or is it roots that grew up and died? I’ve always wondered if all bonsai have that or just certain kinds of species ? It’s not my favorite look but 1400 years is quite impressive either way.
It's jin or deadwood, a design thing. Probably an old trunk that died off
jim jam ... so it was once part of this living tree or it’s just something that the tree had been planted near or on ?
@@NYMusic89563 This would have once been a living part of the tree, but there is something else called a Tanuki (I think that's what it's called) where a live tree is wrapped around the deadwood of a separate tree to give the appearance of what this tree has.
Is that a cloud pot?
Good job and all but.. it was only possible thanks to Momo-chan's help though
It reminds me of the kiryu
The vertical part of the structure is sound. All other bracing against lateral movement? Not so much.
You're relying on the "neck strength" of the fasteners for support. Never an optimal choice, especially with screws.
Always use triangles (gussets) and the load strength of the materials. Diagonal props on your uprights staked into the ground, cross brackets between them with the face of the material, notches help, taking the load...
Just as a suggestion, I would look into renting a single level of staging from your local building centre. It would probalby be cheaper and go up very fast.
But it worked
@@johnmullins8030 Sure and so did the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, until it didn't...
great vid .peace out
Is this tree for sale?
