This guy is a class act and gets things done the step by step guide is 1000 times better then what is being produced out there now this is getting back to biases the raw stuff no glossy B.S top team 👍
Very helpful, Harry. If only there was guidance and knowledge like this at hand when I was starting out all those years ago. But it’s never too late to learn. Many thanks one again for your generosity in sharing your experience and expertise.
Love it. Collection videos are the best, I find it super exciting to watch and to do myself. Also, kick those butts and the hill wont be so hard a climb! Cheers.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. I love all collection videos. It is great to see how a pro does it. It looks like it has a very nice base. I am off tomorrow to collect a Hawthorne and some Blackthorn from my usual collection grounds.. I can't wait, and I figure on how our hawthorn buds are starting to push it is probably my last chance of the year,
I have several trees I'm going to collect, growing on an old airstrip from WW2. they are perfect. Growing out of cracks. Eaten by dogs and deer. Their roots are spread across the concrete. So a bit of chipping and sawing the tap root :)
The trunk is thick, the roots are well covered. I dont want to dig yet to find out. I bought a chisel set and have chipped some of the concrete away... next is the tap root to saw. Im So excited. The bark has only a few nibbles from rabbit. :)
Hey Harry. Cool and scary video collecting that tree we cant do that here in South africa. Just wanted to give you a tip when I collect here in SA. What I do once I've gotten a tree out and ready to transport back home is wrap the root ball in hessian and then cover with a black bin bag. It's cheaper, more cost effective and reusable afterwards. Maybe this can help you instead of using spaghnum moss. Dont know if this would be of any benefit to you but it certainly works for me in our very hot and humid climate in durban kwaZulu-Natal
Jay du Randt we all have our different ways. I prefer to bag up with sphagnum that I’ll then add to the soil mix. If I’m going to carry some extra weight to keep the roots moist, I may as well maximise what I use :) For me it works best
Amazing material...

Thanks for sharing this Harry, it's not an easy task albeit worth it for the reward. Looking forward to part 2
Beautifull trunk!!
Speaking of Hawthorn yamadori, you are the world's number one. :)
Love the videos Harry!

Boston Bonsai Idiot I know I know
This was a great watch. After reading so much of your work it is cool to see you in action.

Barney F very best of luck!
Swweet tree, glad you posted the footage!
Harry what a great looking tree already, a future display Bonsai. a lot more to collecting trees than meets the eye.
This is perfekt! Have just been thinking of trying my hands on yamadori, exited for the next video

Slaterdom wow! I am jealous, I’m guessing great nebari!

Cool vid, Do hawthorn airlayer well? I have a big 35-40 year old one in my backyard that needs reduced.
SpOoNzL they airlayer, but not easily
