- Join us for a celebration of our final tree sale, featuring a selection of truly exceptional bonsai. This event marks the end of a tradition and the beginning of a new chapter focused on conservation and sustainability. We’ll showcase some of the trees included in the sale, share their stories, and discuss our future initiatives.
This is your last chance to add a piece of Mirai’s legacy to your collection. Moving forward, Mirai trees will be available through our nonprofit, the One Tree Project, supporting our ongoing preservation efforts.
Caveman Ryan has arrived 😆! Loving the new trees on sale
A sale of 30ish trees from around $200,000.
I think this is definitely something that has never happened in the US before. I meet with the people who grew or more often collected these tree. What the collector is paid/charges is often 10% of these prices or even less. There is the cost and simply the ability to get access of spectacular and unique pots whose cost can be equal to what the collector was paid.
My hat goes off to anyone who can make these creations and obtain these prices. To get to these prices has I think required the incredible build up of recognition. This must have taken thousands of hours of work with very talented people together as a team. The amazing video production promoting Mirai and bonsai as an art. The trees are presented in perfection. Perfect lighting, ideal pot selection and lots of work displaying the trees in their very best appearance.
Buying trees in perfect condition must be quite rewarding. Still, trees grow, wire bites in, trees need repotting. What will these trees look like in 3,5 or 10 years. I can only imaging obtaining one or more of these trees would come with some potential inevitable cognitive dissonance.
Personally while I could buy these trees I don’t think I would like to put that much money into a tree which in my hands would not be able to maintain the same quality level. I do have some trees I bring to professional for care. Mostly my interest is more in learning to develop rather than starting with the best then trying to maintain.
It is remarkable what Ryan Neil has been able to create. He has clearly set the bar for at least the prices of fine bonsai in the United States. He deserves the success he has worked so hard to obtain. A legendary contributor for sure.
He got $200k usd for 30 of his trees? Trees he acquired and prepared and styled and refined and all himself?
(Not like really old largrme thick-trunked choice imported Japanese yamadori junipers and black pines and such that others have worked for generations)
That's not bad yeah.
Though I suppose it's only what $6.4k each evened out.
Which is about what I'd expect from rhe specimens of his I've seen and the work and knowledge and passion I've seen him lut in will as name recognition, teaching, and if they've been worked on popular video that adds alot.
It's actually about lowball to what I'd expect.
At least if they're all as large and nice as the 3 orb4 I've got through in the video so far.
I wouldn't care who made the pot. I'm more interested in the tree
In Walter Liew's book he outlined an "Eccentric Style" in Penjing which I think applies well to that first Limber Pine.
The second tree, RMJ was spectacular. Interested to know what it went for.
40:00 I understand! ….i really struggle to let go of any tree. Even if it’s a 1 yr old cutting iv wired up as a starter, I feel attached straight away!
Lookin like a mountain man fosho Ryan💯🤣😎❤️
❤❤❤amazing
Love the beard and scruff💯👑
This pine reminds me of a tall man leaning over a stand up bass👁️…or possibly a wash tub bass
I digging mad scientist Ryan.
I will never have trees like this, unless I go collect them myself.
Are all the trees sold out?
No it's still going.
@CornellD.Cavendish I can't find any trees on the site. I didn't once the sale when live either. Do you perhaps know if it's us restricted?
I've the same question, in the link I see no trees
Ironically, Yamadori pine is my unicorn💯🤔 Still trying to talk to local Bolander Pygmy Pine❤️🙏🏽
👍👌🙂
if you cut that off i'll come find you 😂
Buenos días, ayer hice un comentario, y una vez enviado, lo comprove, hoy no aparece quien lo ha eliminado?. Lo voy a repetir y lo volveré a comprobar dentro de unos días.
El video tarda en reproducirse, y los subtitulos están desactivados, y ahora añadiré algo más, cuídese su imagen no le favorece la barba el pelo todo despeinado y desaliñado...
I believe what happened was you commented on the live video before it was converted to an archived video so all comments are lost
It's possible to comment in the comments section of live videos for a time once they end but before they are converted with a thumbnail and new title into the playlist
As for how Ryan looks in this video I feel it's shows he has not stopped working long enough to care for himself even before coming on camera and that his thoughts and love are for the trees and not himself
Whoa! I wasnt expecting the eccentric new look dude! 😂
Id say its defintely not for every guy but youre pretty enough masculine enough to actually make it work. 😃Least for the short term!
Then at a big event or something you can doo the whole show up all clean shaven and polished and people will be like "gee you clean up rather jolly well there ol chap" thing lol.
