@Danté T. Edwards Thank you
Such an enjoyable video Adam, full of beauty and philosophy, it was an honor to be included! Congratulations!
Thank you very much Nigel. It was an absolute pleasure to have you in it 😀
Fun fact:
While the word bonsai is of Japanese origin, the concept of this art form actually took root in China. Since the Yin and Zhou dynasties nearly 3,000 years ago, people in China have cultivated ornamental plants to imitate natural scenery within gardens - a craft known as penjing.
Great job Adam! I’m a friend of Nigel’s and he sent me this link. 👍
Thank you very much! 😄

Well Done Adam, few people truly understand the devotion we put into our tree, and few also do not realize that the trees give back to us in so many ways.
Thanks Jonathan 😀

I love hearing peoples’ philosophical takes on what bonsai is. It gets me thinking in fun and interesting ways. Thank you!

Amazing documentary tbh!Loved it
Hey! thank you very much! :)
Thank you, fabulous ensemble for such likeable characters . We are lucky to have learned from them .
Very evocative video on bonsai. You captured the essence if it, not just the Wikipedia description. I hope you don’t mind if I post is as a resource on the Toronto Bonsai Society’s Bonsai 101 course resource page.
Hey thank you very much! Yeah sure!
Ilove bonsai❤
Love it, these guys helped me get through lockdown and really get caught up in the whole art of bonsai. Funny to see them being serious and absolutely no catch phrases apart from Peter's shirt.
Thanks William! They helped me a lot too during the first lockdowns 😀
❤
Hooray for the algorithm! I wasn't even searching for this, yet here I am. Well done, Adam.
Aw nice! Thanks for watching it man!
You‘ve done an amazing job at sourcing from the experts; and on top of that, all of them are in my subscription as well! Music, pictures, language and the arrangement … top job!!! 👍🏻🪴👍🏻🪴👍🏻
Hey Chris, thank you very much!
Amazing work, Adam! It was great seeing all my favourite Bonsai creators in one amalgamation of a very passionate work of art. I loved how wonderfully you have shot this as well. Wish you all the best.👍
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Fan. Tas. Tic. 5 stars

Bonsai es el amor a la naturaleza da igual lo artístico que sea lo importante es amarlos.
That's great sir Alot of love from Nepal 🇳🇵 I am also doing Bonsai this my 3rd year Running thankyou sir
Hi over there in Nepal! Love from Ireland 😀 I wish you all the best on your Bonsai journey!
Wow,😮3 of my favourite bonsai artist in one video. Wish Greenwood bonsai is also there👍🏽.
Hey thanks for watching! Who are your 3 favourite people? I watch Greenwood bonsai too!
Very nice video Adam! I really liked the pacing and the sequencing of the clips along with the music. It really is a very beautiful endeavor, to train a tree. You are lucky you've discovered Bonsai in an early age! Congrats and greetings from Greece.
Thanks Christos for your kind words! I am grateful to have the opportunity to have discovered it now 😀 Greetings from Ireland.
Rất đẹp

I'm familiar with restrictive pruning of the stems and foliage... but I've yet to develop a knack for root pruning. I experimented with some American cedar and various spruce... but I can't seem to prune the roots correctly. I've been told the best way is not to prune, but to self retrain by twining the roots or binding them with wire. Does anyone else have experience with these methods?
Hey! I do some root pruning things on my bonsai channel @notionbonsai
You should also watch Nigel Saunders from the Bonsai Zone! He has great explanations on it too!
I missing Walter Pall in this video
Did I hear the gentleman correctly when he said Bonsai can command 20k-30k?
Does that mean I could sell my creations?
🥲
You can! It takes a long time to create fine specimen trees though!
@@IzonHow I'm counting on it. There's nothing like the feeling you get from being at the beginning of somethings life and nurturing it year after year watching it grow and thrive. The best part of spring is when your garden wakes up after it's long winter nap. I have a Sango Kaku, not as a bonsai, (his name is Grasshopper) he was supposed to be a slow grower, 😄. He basically said hold my beer. I've tended to him branch by branch throughout his lifetime for 14yrs and he is my pride and joy.
I now work at a tree and shrub farm that sells wholesale and retail. We specialize in Japanese Maples and Conifers of every size. This year I worked through the seasons with an eye to bonsai. I've collected a few that display stunning natural growth and movement. I've also rescued a few and am preparing them to become the swans they were meant to be. I am blessed to have a never ending supply of plants at my disposal to begin my journey into the art of bonsai.
Thanx for responding and be well!

Well done with some of the greatest bonsai masters of our times!

Thanks for watching :)
