    I think this man is a kind of guru in bonsai, he speaks about 40 years of developing a bonsai trunk?
    Who has that patience? I would say that for us bonsai lovers, we are lucky to have Masters like him that can make this work for so many years, in order to purchase a decent bonsai. Respect for the mastery and the patience of this man.(Please excuse my English :D Greeting from Germany)

    Wonderful video! Inspirational, and enlightening. This teaches so much about long term development. This means much more (to me) than videos of demo's, which go into details, when I feel the overview is what eludes many starting artists.
    Thank you so much!
    Wish there was one like this of pines, which I don't seem to understand.

    Guy G. may have mentioned him when I was young, but I don't remember ever seeing this guy, thanks for sharing! I appreciate his advice and his mutiple examples over time. If only I could get a haddle on that aspect myself. He hit me with his subtle humour, buuut not those shoes and socks might need to be addressed.😝✌💚🌲GO BONSAi and STAY SAFE! 😷🙏

    I really love your technique!- you got really good exposure to your NabariI totally complements the Bonsai pots you Have them in. ,I’m also crazy in love with the Nabari on your cascade to your left side (my right )of you over there 👉 really Beautiful work! I’m Still somewhat of a rookie I’ve been in The hobby/Journey for 9 yrs -I have four Japanese Maples two are pre-bonsai (not there yet) in which one I air-layered off of the 2-trees in my back yard (4 yrs old)Originally it was three formal upright’s connected at the base Splitting three ways. I can honestly say I’m obsessed with the hubby its really all I think about..

    Good day Bill and Oscar, beautiful trees as always.
    A quick question please.
    A friend of mine has a 2,5m trident maple in his garden and it's growing too close to a wall of his house and said I can have it.
    When would be the best season in which to dig it up and also the best time to trunk chop it so I can force buds on it?
    Thank you 😀 I'm in the middle of autumn at the moment.
    Regards from South Africa
