Jay, success! I was not sure whether I should put it in, but, decided, yes. This was actually one of the easiest videos to make, as all the clips were shot in one morning!
@@GrowingBonsai I am fortunate to live in a small town with some countryside around me but no big forests but it was funny watching you jump up for the seeds you are adding comedy to your videos 😄 can I ask what camera do you use ..
Hi Michael, thank you. I do try but I am often accused of bad humour so I do hold back. My camera is a canon SLR, which is the cause for poor focus: All manual work. One day I will buy a proper camera suitable for video!
What a coincidence! I went out yesterday collecting seeds myself. I really enjoyed this video. I collected, beech, oak,chestnut, hawthorn, larch, scots pine, and some cones off a beautiful ornamental pine which I'm not exactly sure what it is. I'm just going to put the kettle on and get them planted.
I fear I may have watched Tony's video first - but I got here eventually! Great video and I did enjoy seeing you jumping about as I have done many times in the past looking for berries and stuff. I have never tried planting my own seeds although the apple trees I show on my channel are all from seed germination by either my late wife or friends up here in Stronsay. Enough is enough...I' m going collecting when I get back from holiday :)
Haha, great to hear you got inspired. I understand, Tony makes great videos. I will make it easier on you and will drop my release frequency so it is easier to keep up!
Just an important note - your comment about not needing refrigeration for seeds is valid only if the species grows wild in your area or if it comes from a similar climate. Where I live, we hardly get a winter frost. Japanese maples grow really well here but our winters arent cold enough for their seeds to germinate in spring. I HAVE to refrigerate my seeds to get them to sprout. I also have to refrigerate my japanese larch to keep it happy.
@@GrowingBonsai Thanks Jelle! I’ve just planted the 9 “ripe” oak acorn in the planter upstairs, as they will germinate straight away (I’m planning to wintering them with a fleece, winters are usually quite mild here).
@@GrowingBonsai My other oak is 2 years old now, and is growing in a 14 cm vase… it’s not growing very quickly, just a slightly ticker stick with a few minor branches… I already had plans to repot it and cutting the tap root next spring! Can’t see the time!
@@GrowingBonsai i hope not, especially acorns seem to have an abundance of energy ready for the plant. And about the birch/elm seed collection video: do it.
These videos are a breath of fresh air, plenty of fun and quips as well as the information. I too loved the jumping up and dow, the grunting and the lolling about on the floor, not to mention feeding the mice 😂😂😂
:) Happy to hear you like them. If it is the first video you see.. Normale my videos are a breath of stale air with this old guy sitting in front of a black wall blabbing about little trees I am afraid. Be warned!
hahaha, closing was on friday. Please give me a few days to get it sorted. time differences with brazil and good weather needs.. The next one published!
Ohw.. I was just thinking about bringing out the fairy dust for my next video ;). Thank you though. I sometimes wonder why people make bonsai so complex :)
@@GrowingBonsai Let me ponder this and reply sometime in the near future. You do such an excellent job and cover many aspects of bonsaiing. It would certainly be a pleasure to one day meet you. You indeed are a wealth of knowledge and information. Thank you!!!
@@GrowingBonsai I am in Pennsylvania USA. Grew up in Nigeria, West Africa and lived in the UK for a time - which is really where my heart is. Likewise, you are always welcome here. Any thoughts on a fragrant olive that keeps getting a fungus on the leaves when growing inside? I have a dwarf variety that is excellent. But the standard one has this condition. You are definitely an expert and much appreciated!! Danke
@@waynecooke9258 Cool. Lots of transcontinental moves for you too. To be honest.. I am intriged by Nigeria, but slightly concerned about visiting it. :(. I am not sure what a fragrant olive is.. I doubt it is an Olea? In any case, I have only ficus, raintree and jabuticaba that I grow indoors I am afraid :(
Hey Sam, good to see you here all the way from Australia. Do you have the BRTs there too? Australia is one of the favorite countries, and I almost stayed there after living in Melbourne for a bit. We could have been bonsai neighbours!
I collected some shagbark hickory seeds that I'm growing for fun, but I'm trying to geminate some Japanese stewartia seeds I gathered from the local arboretum for future development.
Absolutely entertaining and informative, David Attenborough could not have done it any better. So glad you had quite a comprehensive range of seeds… all from the same forest I assume! Close up of seeds and it’s pods would be great and respective leaves or how the whole tree appears in the wild would be an even more comprehensive video! Thanks
Hi Jelle, I'm going for beech and maple seeds this year. Last year none of the beech seeds grew but there was a lot of very wet weather and flooding where I collect the seed. The trees may have suffered and so the seeds as well. I guess we'll find out the results in the spring. That's half the fun. Personally, I soak the seeds for a couple of days before sowing which seems to help identify non-viable seed. Those that still float I throw away.
To be quite honest I leave the birds do the job of collecting and sowing seeds of native trees. I always find all sorts of seedlings in my garden and along country hedges. However I have grown from seeds trees that I have found difficult to source from local nurseries like trident maple, crab apple, carpinus coreana, etc.. A part from crab apple seeds which I collected myself, the rest I bought online from a specialized seed supplier. Not going to sow anything this year because I already have more young plants that I know what to do with.😅
Addition to the ending: if you're gathering in an area with hunting, always wear bright, unnatural colors in case you're mistaken about the hunting season.
Great videos! Do you have experience with that particular maple species (Acer preudoplatanus) as bonsai? I like them as trees but always thought they have even coarser growth habit than Norway maple (A. platanoides) therefore never tried them for bonsai. Do they reduce in a pot?
To be honest.. I have one in my garden that I am trying to make more bonsai-isc. But I do not consider it great, and untill I have access to a massive trunk with very small cuts, do not think I will grow one as bonsai for real.. So.. Not much I can tell you. In the yard defoliating, removing winter terminals and frequent pruning do create short internodes..

Hey Christopher, you are absolutely right. I thought I had addressed that point in the video, but learly not well enough. THank you for adding!
You enjoyed more the making of the video than us watching you wallowing 😆
I DID have fun making it. Although I was freezing here and there. It was such a cold day!
Nice video! I’m already harvesting trees in the hood… just got several oaks… waiting for the maples to ripe! 👌
Great! Keep in mind, oaks make big taproots which are best removed at a young age!

Maple, oaks and larch are on the menu. Hopefully i can germinate them.
Thank you so much! Should be no problem to germinate those, right?
@@GrowingBonsai i hope not, especially acorns seem to have an abundance of energy ready for the plant. And about the birch/elm seed collection video: do it.

@@ARTificialDreams aim to please where I can my friend!
Next week I go to Portugal, already researched which trees live there 😅. I’ll be collecting seeds as well. Thanks again for the video !
If you have a change, go visit some bonsqi nurseries and get a decent olive
@@GrowingBonsai I already have one, from Greece earlier this year
As always... very educational and helpful! Thank you!!

Hi.
Can you make a video about collecting, sowing, growing, shaping, and caring for alder trees also known as alnus glutinosa.
Hm.. that will require some study first. I do not have an alder!
Great video Jelle 😊
Thank you Jason! 😁
Well done on a great fun and informative video
Hey Sam, good to see you here all the way from Australia. Do you have the BRTs there too? Australia is one of the favorite countries, and I almost stayed there after living in Melbourne for a bit. We could have been bonsai neighbours!
Is is a great country. Still though we have our issues like all 😃😃
Love it though
Time to go seed hunting. Let me know: What are YOU growing this year from seed?
I collected some shagbark hickory seeds that I'm growing for fun, but I'm trying to geminate some Japanese stewartia seeds I gathered from the local arboretum for future development.
Ich habe dieses Jahr viele Eichen gesammelt. Ich hoffe sie wachsen alle und ich kann mir einen schönen Eichen Wald basteln .
@@abydosianchulac2 Sound cool! WIl you put a video online when they germinate?
@@TOMSAI Gute idee! Beim eichen sollte man die Haubtwurzeln nach 1-2 kappen!
@@GrowingBonsai nach 1-2 Jahren ?
Excellent, regarding oak, they must just grow a tap root all autumn and winter and then in spring they feel heat and sprout their stems and leaves ?
Absolutely entertaining and informative, David Attenborough could not have done it any better. So glad you had quite a comprehensive range of seeds… all from the same forest I assume!

:) Yes, finding seedlings is often just as effective for native species!
Please do a video on silver birch maybe from seed to plant :)
Hm.. Will have to think about that. I actually do not grow Birch for bonsai due to their tendency to drop limbs!
