Thanks Milton. There are many American hackberries on my property, and you encourage me to consider them for bonsai. Now off to my icky-bana (ikebana) lesson! :)
I love the movement of the trunk with this tree. There are at least 2 species of Hackberry native to the U.S. Celtis laevigata (southern) and Celtis occidentalis (northern.) I am familiar with the northern type which gets really really rough and warty/ knarly bark and looks good as bonsai. The leaves are big on full size trees, but they reduce in size very well. Also, one really cool fact is they can be propagated from "root cuttings" like Chinese Elm.
Thank you very much for sharing DeciduousSnurb. Your feedback is great! I have planted a few Celtos Laevigata (I think...since label is not always correct) and they do have warty bark...whereas the Chinese Heckberry has smooth bark. Thank you on behalf of the BH community! *
Here in South Africa, we have the Celtis africana, our hackberry, or the Witstinkhout tree, I have a large tree in our yard, and seedlings grow as weed in my yard and I have took few to start as bonsai.
Good to know the existance of Celtis Africana. Let use know how it worked out for you as a bonsai...to share with the rest of the BH community. Thanks!
Nice tree, not very popular in the UK either not sure why, they have great colour trunks in time plus as you said leafs up quickly just wonder if you planted the seedlings into your growing beds it would thicken faster than in the can.
Yes...definitely. The seedling in the ground for 25 years are now ove r50' tall...I transformed one in my "English" Garden into a big bonsai (in the ground)...I will show it in my video in a year or two...just starting to take shape. Very fast grower.
Thank You. I double checked the Channel’s Name. With every Generous Daily Video the host (Milton Chang) kindly and verbally announces The Channel's Audible Intro as BONZAI HEIRLOOM or is it Bonsai Heirloom? Were you meaning to use the slightly different pronunciation of a completely different word BONSAI ... HEIRLOOM? ... - I started making bonsai trees around 40 years ago when I was a kid and I do mean I was a child. I have a lot of interest in them so I enjoy hearing other’s experiences. I appreciate your educational videos and I've simply been watching them for months and not for years. However every time I watch them I am hearing the intro announcement of the channel at the beginning where Milton says the words Bonzai Heirloom or did he intend to use the other Japanese word that sounds quite similar with a slightly different pronunciation and a completely different meaning or definiation? Bonsai - Which is loosely translated or defined as; (an ornamental tree or shrub grown in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size.) I've always been told it means (tree IN pot). I believe Milton Chang might be mispronouncing the word he has intended to use. Is the word not used constantly in order to describe not only the channel yet also the product you're talking about. BONZAI Trees BONSAI Trees - Honestly I often don't make it through the entire video which unfortunately a topic I very much enjoy daily. Bonzai Bonsai. When I was a kid around 1980 and was making Bonsai I was corrected several times in my pronunciation by someone who knew what they were talking about. I was educated and I quickly learned to say Bonsai versus banzai. I don’t know if it’s historically accurate yet as a kid someone had told me that the Japanese word I had been saying at the time was a Japanese slang word in which the pilots flying suicide airplane missions at Pearl harbor would have said. I do find record that BONZAI was once used During Waring Attacks. The word you literally use all the time has several different slang connotations and over time has changed a bit in it's usage ESPECIALLY to people in modern Japanese society. BONZAI = is an ... Interjection - (used as a Japanese patriotic cry or joyous shout.) (used as a Japanese battle cry.) BONSAI = •-• An ornamental tree or shrub grown in a pot and artificially prevented from reaching its normal size. •-• The art of growing ornamental, artificially dwarfed trees or shrubs. The Japanese turned the techniques into an art form and called it Bonsai. As in... BONN SIGH. BONZAI ::: Here is a direct quote of someone's explanation of the word bonzai who has lived in Japan. "Banzai in modern Japanese culture basically means “Yay! We did it!” It is used when someone is excited or proud of themselves for completing something. For example, you could say I passed my math test, Banzai! The word is also sometimes paired with the gesture of raising two hands in the air. That is the one and only meaning that is ever used modern Japanese culture. The only other meaning Banzai has, is “hail.” Just like you would say “all hail King James,all hail King James,” in Japanese you would say King James Banzai!" I hope this is somehow helpful. Thank you again for all your hard work and education. Have a great day.
Bonsai heirloom simply means trees that where by him. The true meaning of heirloom is "a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations." Look it up! this comment you made was truly unnecessary!
@@clintonwalsh4913 I'm talking about the pronunciation and the meaning of two different words that mean two different things. BONZAI slang BONSAI an art form
I don’t think he needs you to be harassing him on every video like this. I agree that this is unnecessary. You might be the only one who cares this much.
@@lishalovewright7218 you could be quite right. There are 2 words that have 2 different meanings. One IS slang And the other is an Art Form. If this has gotten your attention and at least gotten 3 or 4 other people's attention I probably won't be saying anything more about it because obviously someone else is paying attention.
@@FeileCase🦴👁🔛 brother😂 . I think sometimes when u say a word ur whole life and dont want to change the way u say it , its hard to say it the correct way and some people just dont care . U are correct it is BONE SAI not BON ZAI. U would have to get the whole world to change the way they say the correct pronunciation of the word. Good luck
This is definitely my first time hearing about Chinese Hackberry! I quite like the look of it!
Thank you !
Thanks Milton. There are many American hackberries on my property, and you encourage me to consider them for bonsai. Now off to my icky-bana (ikebana) lesson! :)
Both are artistic endeavour.; Enjoy!. American Hackberry are good bonsai material too. Leaf is more rough...but also reduces in size...
