Snowplow and power lines yamadori bonsai. I give ideas about where and how to collect bonsai from nature. Lately I've been focusing on larger trees with big trunks and dead wood with the idea of future development but you can also find great trees that brought home, put into a pot and trimmed can look beautiful. Be open to looking for unique trees that could become bonsai versus trees that already look like a bonsai. i'm getting better at seeing the potential of the yamadori trees to be a bonsai. Like chopping trunks and bending to form a unique bonsai design. Out native trees won't be Japanese bonsai or Chinese penjing but new form of north american bonsai. Maybe we need a new word to capture the growing bonsai or penjing as it takes a new form in Canada. Thanks for watching.
