It's really cool when one finds small trees in the woods, like some of these, that look like they just came out of a "bonsai pot" and got planted in the ground. It's always fun to stop and admire!
Thank you for this video. I loved virtually tagging along on you pacificdori quest. Love your attitude toward this hobby as well and I'm looking forward to the future progress videos!
Enjoyed the hiking, trees and environment which gives both a familiar touch but at the same time not and you have more species of trees than here in Sweden. Thanks for the trip :)
Love the video! I've been looking to collect some yamadori trees from Snoqualmie baker area recently too! I think the tree that you're showing at 14:00 (as well as the clump of trees you collected with the connected root system) are actually mountain hemlock. Mountain hemlock has very similar needles to the western hemlock except instead of growing flat they grow on all sides of the branch. Keep up the videos!
Really fun video, almost felt like I was on the adventure as well. Currently stuck with yardadori .. can’t wait to get out for some yamadori too. Great inspiration.
I have been toying with the art of bonsai for almost 20 years. Living in the Northern area of Houston, Texas, I as fortunate to collect from the heavily forested areas that surrounded me as well as access to very old landscaping material from decades old subdivision. Thanks for letting us join your group and adventure. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
I have rooted large cuttings of red cedar. Just a chopped trunk with no roots to begin with, just sticking them in the mud of a creek bed. They root like crazy. I recommend keeping it extra wet, like even in standing water. I think the cedar has a good chance of survival that way. I find western hemlock to be way more delicate. With those small rootballs, I'll be surprised if yours are still alive in a month. But, I'm wishing you success.
@@BenBSeattle no problem. I guess I should just speakfor myself. I haven't had luck with western hemlock. But, I don't know what's best for them. Good luck!
I bought a Christmas tree permit and it was $5 per tree, got 3 a Doug, a Hemlock and a Cedar, all but the Hem are doing well, did a bug spray on the Doug and it's losing needles but I hope the buds will bloom soon, love them.
Nice looking trees, I can see the satisfaction in the video after the trip, it’s a great feeling after a successful collection.That shore pine was a beauty too, are you going back for it ?
I definitely wouldn't have pruned the roots on the cedar at all, not an inch. I would have just tucked under whatever sticks out past the pot. The tap root yeah, u can propagate that into a new tree anyway but I would have left all the rest. I noticed ur gonna prune the top and added clonex so u were trying to somewhat help it be root dominant but u chopped roots off anyway. I think I'm missing something.
hi I didnt like it ! I loved it , here in Derbyshire England we dont get any of the trees you have and you are not allowed to dig them up so we have to wait till we pass a auto wreck in a treea nd load it up. Love your vids thanks david
When you put these in a shady area do you mean a fully shaded area? Or an area with some sun during the day and what type/time of sun would you prefer? Morning,midday, evening??
@@BenBSeattle I really enjoyed your video. I am in Northern California and would love to collect some yamadori. Just trying to figure out the best time of year to do it.
You're collecting what nature is about to throw away with them being on their last leg. And struggling and making them into something beautiful.. I have no problem with hunting 🙏

Thanks for sharing this. I'm inspired to try and get my own yamadori! The explanation of acquiring the permit was also helpful.
Three years later I find myself watching your Yamamori videos all over again and appreciate them all.
Cheers
This is great!!! I could watch yamadori videos all day long. Please make more of these.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing 😀😀
Collecting yamadori bonsai in the morning with beautiful view, i love this channel ❤🌳👍
wow! nice find....trunk has a nice shape
Love it Ben ! Great vid..Thanks guys !

Awesome video, keep up the good work
Perfect! Cool!!!
GREAT weather blue sky scotland this year so bad

Really enjoyed getting taken along on your yamadori trip! And enjoyed seeing the little feet running by! 🙂
Never thought to add rooting powder! Thank you
Love the video and the trees! Well done. Also great hearing the kids running around happily in your videos 😁! Keep up the great work

Magnifique. Bravo 👍👌🤗
Great video! I love doing yamadori with friends and enjoying nature. Some good time outside in the woods is priceless.
This is awesome. I might have to stop by a rangers office and head to snoqualmie soon
great information on the permits!! glad to hear this
Thanks for sharing the day with us. Really interesting to hear how you go about collecting yamadori.

Time waits for no man, snooze you loose
great video m8, love yamadori collecting
surely that red cedar did not make it. SOOOO curious. Great video. I love yamadori videos - if you make 'em, I'll watch 'em.
Awesome I’ve been trying to find places to go near Seattle love the video makes me want to go even more!
Dude it's so fun. I'll definitely do this once a year as a tradition

Awesome trees Ben, looks like you had a blast! I'm with you on it being exhausting - once or twice a year at most methinks!
The tree talk between friends is great and missing from most other yamadori videos.

Those hamlocks looks like our New Zealand Gold Totara Natives trees, and have another species in blue colour name Matapouri blue Totara.
The garden and pond are magnificent.
Great vid dude but you're never to old my dad in his 70s still keen to get out there .
I hope it lives, my Hemlock only has maybe 50 leaves less but I am still hopefull it survives

Further down I90 is Cle Elum and Salmon L sac (sp). Lots of pines. Is there a forest that we can collect trees in that area?
Oooh, I'll be following you for sure! Hoping to start this method. I want to Bonsai Doug Fir and Manzanita \ Madrona. Any experience with those?
Wow beautiful beautiful beautiful Yamadori men
I have a bunch of Stanly plum trees popping up in my yard from my main tree. Can I use those or fuyu persimmon trees to create bonsi?
What kind of bins are those? What are they called? I’ve been trying to find where to get those, when you were showing your western hemlocks
Anderson pots
Nice to see. Wouldn't Sphagnum moss be a good idea to use for freshly digged out trees?
Great video! What was the date you guys went out? Thanks.
Late May

😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
what do you think of panache fig??
Any update on if the cider survived ?
Do you guys know where snoqualmie area is in Seattle? You can pay to go bonsais hunting
I thought, I was texting my sister, after watching the video lol. She lives in Seattle. No wonder she never responded
When you put these in a shady area do you mean a fully shaded area?
Or an area with some sun during the day and what type/time of sun would you prefer? Morning,midday, evening??
dappled shade is the environment they grow in. avoid full midday sun if possible. Here in Seattle the harshest time is about 3pm
So do you ask permission to go on the land and take trees prior to doing so?
Wonderful video, but that music really took away from the peacefulness of following the nature hike and your search for yamadori.
20:39 lol what was that?
Yeah I pointed that. It's a weird glitch during export
Put some seed in the hole when you leave
Hi Ben. How are the trees doing?
the forest is thriving, the hemlock and cedar didnt make it. Could protect them from the 112 degree heat last yr.
@@BenBSeattle I really enjoyed your video. I am in Northern California and would love to collect some yamadori. Just trying to figure out the best time of year to do it.
@@devanmccarty1625 spring usually but here in the pnw fall seems great
The sole came off? U had duct tape. Tape it. 😂.. otherwise, nice explanations. Tks.
Did any of these 3 survive?
That's my question
Hey buddy, did any of these survive?
Yes the clump is doing great. Cedar not so much
@@BenBSeattle good to know, I’ve got a blue atlas cedar in my yard here in England and I want to attempt a air layer
You mixed up hardwood and softwood. Maple & broad leaf trees are hardwood, conifers are soft.
You're correct thx Andrew
You're collecting what nature is about to throw away with them being on their last leg. And struggling and making them into something beautiful.. I have no problem with hunting 🙏
Praise God for the wonderful creation.
Amen!
Good video except for the 10 commercials. That’s 1 for every 4 minutes...
So left supremacy state conserves but if you give us money take as much as you want.
You probably kill those yamadori
