@@TrainingBonsai I understand. I’m 62 and have just been doing Bonsai for almost 2 years. All the ones I’ve started or purchased don’t have big trunks, and longevity isn’t a family trait. I’m hoping to find some resource for a field grown tree that would allow me to have a thick trunk a little quicker than I could develop on my own. I wish I’d have started earlier, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far, and haven’t killed anything yet! Even had luck with cuttings. Thanks for checking anyway. Really good video!
@@randysmith1723I’ve been into bonsai only 2yrs & have found most of my best trees in the back of nurseries. They’re neglected, overgrown, often damaged, but checkout the trunks & offer a reduced price which is usually accepted. Then have fun turning it into a beautiful tree in a fraction of the time to grow one. Good luck!!
@@LoveBonsai902 Thanks! I’ve gotten 13 Bonsai’s so far: 6 regular stock from local nurseries, 2 seedlings (Dawn Redwood), 2 from actual Bonsai dealers online, 1 ordered nursery stock I’ll turn into bonsai, 1 forest I’m making from cuttings, 1 pre-bonsai. I keep my eyes open for the kind of things you’re suggesting, but mostly just find the types of trees I like, but are really young, or just not thick yet. I saw some videos from guys who sell some field grown Bald Cypress “stumps”, but can’t find them again. May also try collecting from the forest here in the NC mountains, where permitted, if it’s feasible. Thanks for the advice!
bonsai heaven right there!
I love watching videos like this. Nice work 😊
Thank you!
Those trees look amazing. I can't wait to watch the progress. #newsubscriber
Oh yeah, the tree is doing well. I will do a follow-up video later this year to show the progress.
Any chance of being able to purchase one? 😊
I can check for you, but I believe they have all been accounted for.
