I’ve been watching bonsai videos and reading articles for years but can’t bring myself to try it. These videos really make me feel like I could.
You and Bjorn my favourite mentors. Thanks for the vids
The nursery hunt is so addictive to watch.. it's like one of those shows on tv, such as storage wars, where you just can't wait to see what gets uncovered. I never would have thought it would be so easy to watch 2 straits hours of bonsai content. Thank you for your great content!! Oh, and it would be nice if you disclosed how much you spend on the specimens you find on your nursery hunts.
My favourite bonsai talk, nursery hunting and expanding upon how we generalize material is just so key. Go Go Go bonsai brother and sisters!
God, i want to be sitting at my local nursery as they unlock the gates. such an amazing series so far, all be it 4 years late. just in these last 2 videos my mind has been rewired to what the concept of bonsai is or should i say can be. i think im gonna back track and look at the scotch pine vid, because in the back of my mind for awhile now i have wanted to start a 5 needle pine next year. Thanks Ryan, Kendal and crew
I thoroughly enjoy your teachings. Wire technique helped me understand more and something I definitely needed to know. I love the tree and the results of the design. I just started the practice in August 2021 and I definitely watch a lot of your videos. Great job!
Amazing video, it is a more academic approach to bonsai, I am sitting at the edge of my seat😬😁
Be great to see this tree in 2021! How time flies.Great work
Formal Upright is probably my favorite style. If I move to the valley from the high desert I will start to practice bonsai again. Your method of designing the tree is enlightening and informative. Great vid.
Really appreciate your artistic instinct. And your explanations are really inspiring. Thanks
This is such a wonderful oppertunity to learn. Amazing that you offer these videos. Thnx so much.
would love to see updates of these nursery series trees today. how far have the trees come in their development, etc. Thanks.
That would be awesome
Sure would.
Too cool my people✊🏼 thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful tree!!!
Amazing... I'm still in my first year of Bonsai... and my tree collection has grown from 3 to 30 over the course of the year.... mostly from nursery stock. I'm starting to get more confident in making bigger cuts and thinking about years down the road. I've seen large material at nurseries that I thought would have great potential, but wasn't sure how I would handle them. This was a great video. I'm going to have to consider joining the Mirai stream service.
I'm right there with you. I'm in my first year as well and every time I watch a video I end up buying another tree or two.
@@jasonchristensen26 My first year too, it's driving me crazy ! seeing trees cross the road, in the forest and imaginating them like little little Bonzaï trees... From SW of France !
Join a bonsai group....this is where you will really learn
Filling the garden of trees is not synonym of passion but of excessive enthusiasm; As time goes on, one begins to buy less trees and to think more about quality bonsai...you will see.
RYAN GOOD JOB REALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WORK,
I can't wait to see how this tree develops! I love using nursery stock.
Thank You!!! For a Great Piece of Pedagogical Value!!
that tree is even beautiful as it is! You guys are instrumental in getting me into bonsai
really enjoying this...... fantastic!
Can’t wait to see what comes out of this tree in the follow up episode
thank you so much for all the info you guys are putting out!!!!
It's good to know that with your busy schedule you take the time to respond to your subscribers and viewers. It shows that you are a person who understands the concept of gratitude. You use your talent and knowledge to GIVE freely. I wish all the blessings of God come to you and your family.
During my years in college I started my voyage in the wonderful world of bonsai. Many years and much money were wasted. I gave up and moved on with my career, nurturing a family and staying happy with outdoors gardening.
Accidentally I found your channel and I have to admit You managed to teach me more in two hours that I learned in ten years worth of bonsai seminars, trial and error etc etc. { Same scenario with orchidsl}
Long story short, the bonsai "industry" wants the people to get involved and get started and keep trying, while they purposely withhold important information/details, thus the average Joe can never have succes in the art of bonsai.
A lot of people, including myself find bonsai a soothing calming serene activity that keeps me in touch and in harmony with the universe. Unfortunately at this point in my life I can't afford to start my favorite activity again. The cost of the tools and materials alone and then the specimens it's prohibitive for me. So am pleased and thankful that I can watch someone as knowledgeable as yourself do the job. Stay kind, helpful, giving, simple, and in the wings of Angels. Thanks again.
Amazing video. Loving the nursery stock series as its more realistic for those who are on a budget or just starting out and don't want to run the risk of paying the big bucks for something that could possibly die until the correct knowledge has been acquired.
You've gained a new sub here and currently looking into joining Mirai website for more content.
Greeting from Oz.
35.30 seconds when the situation gets serious and Ryan's enthusiasm starts to humor fellow set members as the hornet nest scenario becomes a safety issue nearly had me in tears..
Yeah.. not sure murder hornet joke would be funny.. he seems a bit traumatized..
this is amazing. thank you so much! keep up the good work
Truly amazing work. I'm hooked.
Hi Ryan, love your work! I am a beginner and realy learn of your video's. Keep up the good work!
Greetings

Great vid of formal upright design .But I could not help thinking .Using your chosen front slant the tree to the right .Jin the top and complete left side . Creat a windswept style using the long branches on the right.
This channel should be called Bonsai Bro starring Bonsai Bro
This was a great demonstration. I am now a fan and subscribed. I am currently working on a windswept coastal forest arrangement made with 7 staked upright, procumbens nanna junipers. Based on your demonstration, I seem to be on the right track. I am looking forward to updates on this Criptomiria. My inspiration is taken from Monterey California and Emily Car paintings. My project will be a large bonsai I will eventually plant in a rough cut 4 x 7-foot Cedarwood pot painted a bright red. My junipers are still in individual growing containers and will be for a couple more years.
great talk about simple material
Such drama with the wasps! 10/10 daytime TV entertainment.
Wow really great info and I love the interaction!
Would DEFINITELY like to see these Bonsai in 2020
Just discovered Mirai and am devouring all of your content! Has there been an update on this tree yet? Thank you for sharing all of this amazing work!
Great call on right side tall. Heavy on right is natural, imagine there use to be a huge tree growing on left side but has fallen in a storm and had shaded the left side.
True Knowledge! Thank you!
there is a continues momentum of strength upwards if highest point is on the left....I like the cascading downward on the left from the left highest point to left cascading downward sharp to the right side.
Woah! I had these videos playing in the background and I heard you mention Tsugawa's. It isn't every day that you stumble across a local video guy. :D I freaking love Tsugawa's. Annnnnnnnnnnd Subscribed.. :D
Was going to say that the respond extremely well as cuttings also!!!!
Little disappointed that you didn't buy those other trees. Would have been great videos.
The wasps were screwing up the scale on the composition.
Excuse me while I scream and thrash around for a few moments...
@7:10 Stumbles upon somethin grotesquely grouse. 🥰
I had to look at when this was live, all I could think was Murder Hornets!!! 🐝 🐝🐝
Really good stuff
Tsuga canadensis is the Canadian Hemlock, Diversifolia is the Japanese Hemlock :) Great Videos! Thanks!
Awesome new series and perfect of us mere mortals that aren't rich and can't afford expensive real bonsai at bonsai-nurseries.
Here's another suggestion:
This option is even more affordable than regular-nursery stock: Pencil-thick and "Pre-Bonsai" ...which I think is probably even more common and done than already-grown nursery stock (for beginners at least).
Can you please make a video on how to develop and train a black pine (and making an upright juniper too) from a very young stage, pencil-thick sapling?
Almost all YT videos are only about maintenance, pruning, styling, etc. an already very old developed tree.
e.g.:
- When only 16-24" tall and only Pencil thick, do I 100% completely leave it alone until it gets to a desired thickness, height and to a desired length of branches?
- Is it okay to start trunk-chopping (to start a "kinked-trunk" early on), candle pinching (to start ramification and/or kinked branches very early on), training with wire, etc. when pencil-thick?
- What should I do to get to a desired height or length of branches (especially for niwaki/garden JBPs)? Leave it alone, or re-direct growth to certain areas by candle pinching other areas?
- Should I let it grow long, leggy and lanky until desired length?
- Should I candle pinch the few excessively strong long candles to balance the tree when pencil thick?
Me..I want to make garden/niwaki JBPs.
Although I had some different ideas about the hight that you kept this amazing tree in, I still love what you don with it and I am looking forward to seeing it in 5 or 6 years established in its pot or on a slab...to probably find out that you were right all along !!! :)
Keep up the good work Ryan and everybody else at MIRAI and happy New Year to you all !!!
Cheers,
Hans van Meer.
That broken branch outshoot was because the main straight stalk was in shade while that branch had open area to sun
Outstanding
Boom, Boom, Boom !
What a nice plant
high point on the left, that creates a sharp cliff on the left and cascading on the right....
Any chance of getting an update video showing this trees development from 2017-2022?
I wish I could get Sugi in my area. The local townies think it's "an invasive species" because it's not an "American tree"
It has a jin also. I wonder if you are going to whiten it with sulfur and some Sumi
Its insane to see how much the break in and vandalism affected you ryan. I hope you have a chance to vent properly with someone qualified to help you through that process.
Nice bring it to the front so we can see the shari or sharimiki
It is now Feb, 2020 any chance to see how this beauty is doing ? For some reason I feel that too much focus was on the large dead limb -- I feel that if it was not there the tree itself would be the focus and would stand out ,
as well it should .
Top right should be the new apex!!
Is there an update of this tree in 2022?
Ive had a juniper nana for 10yr got from a japanese dude driving a van. 3months ago I found out it wasnt some ancient japanese miniature tree that I need to do things to it to get those desired effects.
Ive collected 5 or 6 trees now and am enjoying learning this.
But I think I just killed my old juniper its starting to turn yellow :(
However,thanks for making vids they really help!
And here I am barely remembering to water my ficus.
Hello I have a question, I have a China doll plants but I been told it's a tree can you tell me what kind of tree it is?
would like to see how this one is doing over 2 years on. Update please
j adore la variété
une belle vidéo
HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR THIS BEAUTIFULL TREE
I just bought one of these huge cryptomeria today at Tsugawa Nursery where he bought his for 129$ plus tax
It's been the three years you talk about at the end of the video. Can we see any updates yet?
Nice tutorial...
Would love an update!
Have you any thoughts on an update video on this tree. Its been a while!
Where can I see the update for the nursery series?
The trunk looks a lot like a Bald Cypress. Don't know if I've ever seen a Cryptomeria before. Not sure if they'll live in south Georgia.
was hazard pay involved
I freak out when I run into a spider working on trees, never even considered a hornets nest!
Could I ask about how much would this nursery stock cost?
Why not air layer the top? maybe create a kabudachi?....
When you say nursery are you referring to bonsai stock nursery, or just your standard plant nursery?
Thank you for sharing the technique very well, but if you can, you can add subtitles to countries so people can better understand their techniques.
Hi, I really enjoyed your nursery stock serie. Are there any more in the pipe line?
At 19:36, are those giant sequoias in the background?
20:56 left side... smooth... that was funny hahaha
Do u work on any tropical trees?
the branch looks best if it is on the left slightly rotated to the center for the front view...with the branch to the left the trunk looks str8 when it is to the right the trunk looks like it has a curve bent to the left ---->(
High point on the left the dead branch was higher
❤️
I actually felt "ouch" when he snapped off the 2 branches at 1:13:28
Please tell me that isn't pruning shears blade up sticking out of your pocket???????
I would have chosen where you had it at 22:52 as the front.
why is he peeling the bark?
Jin (deadwood) feature
Wish I can cryptomeria that size
btw next time you run into hornets you can use dishwash soap and water in a cup... hold it under the nest, they will fall in and die... dunno something about the vapors...
Bro the hornets are scary indeed it’s happen to me with ants 🐜 n some hornets one time lol
That intro :D
Did you have any experience in growing bamboo bonsai in Japan? Seems that you don't see too much bamboo bonsai anymore
dracokaiser I can imagine them as accent plants but not bonsai. They grow too straight with no taper. They're actually a type of grass, not a tree.
Peter Bone I know that. What you’re thinking as accent plants/shitagusa are called Zasa. The bamboo species in bonsai are usually made into forest
Bamboo is not suitable for bonsai, they are all grasses ans depends on rhizome and each cane eventually dies off.
Germán Rivas perhaps you should tell that to all bonsai masters in japan
Would love to see a bonsai that breaks all the rules.
.... why not a beer or sausage with mustard while you explain ?
nice wire skills
Dai Sugi????!!!! OMG!!!! Wish I could find trees like those!!!! I can't even find Needle Junipers in the states!!! :-(
dracokaiser buy a procumbens Nana. They can be grown as either a needle or scale juniper.
Boom
