If you access to ocean beaches, swales and looking through the forest behind large dunes are fantastic places to see trees that have been drastically been shaped by the weather and conditions. Many times it can be hard to even ID a tree to species because they are so warped in growth and leaf shape.
My father own´s a part of a peatbog when the land hasnt been used for atleast 70+ years,about 40 hectar large,there´s some great twisted real old pine tree´s in there.Going this weeken d to try and find some real good ones and take some picure´s,also looking for material for a new project
OMG I Need This Tree @ 4:15 to 5:23 :) Collecting Specimen As Such Is So Hard Where I live Would Love Some Place to Go Local But not many trees here or else the people have bought them or were gifts to them and as far as forest wow nothing even close to where you are in this video! :) Be Safe Out there And Happy Bonsai/ing :)
The shots are very beautiful, you did them? Besides, i wish you went more into details, for example - why these environments are good to look for yamadori, what we should be looking for ect.
We could bury you in alot of details but that is a whole other chapter and more complex bonsai philosophy, it would takes us hours to go thru a process like Yamadori and all layers of it.. However my friend, if you watch all of our Yamadori videos you will learn ALOT about Yamadori for sustainable and horticulture collecting with succsess. Our intent is to lift out the most important parts for you guys, the audience.
Welcome to BT! Pines, you can collect them just before the dormancy rest over the winter. Make sure that you collect them before the frost comes since yamadori is sensitive and stressed material. This goes for atleast Pinus Sylvestris species and a few more.. I don't dare to be 100% sure with an answer on larches, i do think you can collect them in autumn, but you will have better results in early spring. This depends alot on your current climat situation, zone and skillset!
Great video and many true words are spoken! A must see for everybody with the wrong ideas about Yamadori collecting! And an even more important video for all the money-driven nature rapists that give us a bad name! Well, don Bonsai Talk I will link it to my blog so that more people can find it...I find it that important!!! Cheers, Hans van Meer. karamotto bonsai.
Mr. Van Meer.. I must say i have visited your blog many times, you are most welcome to my channel, and it strengthens me and this community when a experienced and respected voice like yourself, is carrying my message across to others, I'm looking forward to see you doing that! You are right, i was trying to show people that nature is suffering alot, all the time, and we need to start caring and putting things in perspective. Bonsaipeople and Yamadorihunters should be guardians, keepers of the forest really, we are taking care of trees with dignity and showing the rest of the world what true natural bonsai beauty is all about in a way that respect nature. Hats off, i salute you, Sincerely, Bonsai Talk.
Hi Bonsai friend and please call me Hans I feel old enough as it is! :) Thank you for your heartwarming reply and kind words they humble me, to say the least! I have in my almost 30 years in this great hobby and art always tried to bring over the need to respect the trees we work with. They are not just another hobby material like paint or canvas! They are living creatures that at least deserve that we recognize that and then handle accordingly to it before we even think about collecting them in our rapidly disappearing forests! I remember just how devastated I was when in 2010 I lost two of my beautiful ancient pines for no (then) apparent reason! Not because they had cost me all my savings to purchases them far from home or because I had lost two of my best work before being able to show them to the world! But because I was not able to keep two old living wonders of nature alive! hans-van-meer.ofbonsai.org/2010/07/13/when-your-art-dies-on-you/ it almost made me give up my passion for Bonsai and actually plummeted me in a deep depression and doubt about if I even wanted to go on with this if it meant I was responsible for the life or death of a defenceless living being! Since then, even more, than before I made it my duty to make everybody that I teach aware of what responsibilities comes along with doing Bonsai especially when they think about collecting from the wild! Don't get me wrong though I still also collect trees, but only where it is allowed and if there is more than reasonable change for it to survive it all! The fact that we have almost no suitable Yamadori in Holland and that I have to make very long trips of thousands of kilometers to even get to a place were usable trees can maybe be found makes me even more aware just how rare and precious they are! And that is why your video hit home with me and why I posted it on my blog! So thank you for that opportunity to promote the need for responsibility in Bonsai! Hats off to you my friend and I salute you! Cheers, Hans van Meer.
You want the truth? The trees we collect are those least likely to thrive in the wild. Often on the edge or outside their ecosystem. Removing it is like weeding as far as nature is concerned.
Now. While I agree with the intro, and it is true. But with that being said. I've found some the best bonsai, whose beauty came from the scars of such harm done by human waste. Like tires. Ive found a many of yamadori from a seed landing in the rim of a tire, and was easily extracted because its roots never touched the ground. Unintentional training pots, if you will.
It is very destructive thinking pattern: 'yes, I'm destroying the wood, but if not me, it could be someone else'. When everyone is thinking the same way - the world is in a big trouble.
Its just as destroying pattern to be lured to think that it is individuals that destroy, when it is in fact factories and companies that does it. If we have focus on the wrong cause then we will end up thinking that we must walk 10 hours every day, because our car use a tiny bit of gasoline. At the same time as a common ship use 10 000 times more.. Most people have been fooled to think it is the tiny micro things we must be concerned about, and that we must ignore the real problem. Because the real problem is those who earn millions and millions. Not the one that goes out in nature and pick one single little tree or collect some berries.. What you say is pure hippie talk without any knowledge behind it.
If you colect just everywhere, yes, it is a destructive thought, but there are places, where you can just collect trees without harming the nature and helping the tree at the same time... I mean if a tree you'd like to turn into yamadori lives somewhere where it has to be put down (there are lots of places like that), you're just collecting something that would be killed anyway. Which is actually fine for both sides.
Because they trim and cut down anything that grows there - so it doesn't interfer with the lines themself. This creates amazing potensai, fat trunks, older trees, ramification ect..
I think the main issue is not that Yamadori is an enviromental problem, I think the issue is that it may be selfish to take a tree to your home instead of leaving it in the wild so everyone can enjoy it instead of just you in your bonsai garden
I am spanish and I don’t know about bonsais, but I thought bonsais fanciers were people with large patience. Collect trees form forest don’t look me a good example. This is a short way.
A very nice artistic video with some great thoughts and comments!
I am a big fan of you
I know a forest in Poland with hundreds of trees like this natural bonsai . I often pick mushrooms there

That tree is the nature's bonsai masterpiece! So inspiring, thanks for great video!
Thanks for the love Andrei! It can never be collected, nor should it be, strong and beautiful for many years to come.
Oh my gosh! That beautiful Pinus must be a spirit's home or something! What a great experience! ;O
It's a wonderful Pine, proud and strong. That tree tells a story!
Such a rare opportunity to find yamadori like that!
Words of wisdom
Hola amigo,quiero probar yo a sacar un yamadori de pino, que fecha seria la mejor? Saludos artista
So beautiful. A cue from nature without influence of design or purpose other than survival. Nice shot of the birch bolete a the end. =)
Thanks man!

What's the outro music? So good.
Why did you not collect it ?
Bonsai in the wild.. great
Hi I live in Canada and Was wondering if collecting yamadori in the fall is ok for Pine trees and Larch?
Welcome to BT! Pines, you can collect them just before the dormancy rest over the winter. Make sure that you collect them before the frost comes since yamadori is sensitive and stressed material. This goes for atleast Pinus Sylvestris species and a few more..

I like yamadori bonsai from thailand
Cool! We want to see more Bonsai from Thailand.. send us pictures..
That tree loks like SEVERAL hundreds years old, not 80-100. Great finding.
Videos is very well put together and a joy to watch your perspective on yamadori collecting.
Very true! Maybe? Urban yam mota peata
5:57 that birch bolete looks tasty

Beautiful nature. Is this Sweden lake ? Beautiful! I want to look for natural Bonsai in neighborhood mountain. But no time. Thank you for sharing.
Sweden is beautiful, but so is Japan!
Now that's a fucking tree lad!
Awesome find!

Parabéns!

Yes there is a huge shortage of trees in the forests. Geeez.
You can always plant one tree for every tree you collect
If you colect just everywhere, yes, it is a destructive thought, but there are places, where you can just collect trees without harming the nature and helping the tree at the same time... I mean if a tree you'd like to turn into yamadori lives somewhere where it has to be put down (there are lots of places like that), you're just collecting something that would be killed anyway. Which is actually fine for both sides.
👍👍👍
Dude! You just left it there! You didn't even collect it :(
Did you dig it out????
No
phôi quá tuyệt vời
Cây này sẽ không bao giờ được, hoặc có thể được khai quật. Nó sẽ mãi mãi đẹp trong tự nhiên.
Cây phối này quá dẹp

Why is "Under Power lines" a good place to find Bonsai?
Because they trim and cut down anything that grows there - so it doesn't interfer with the lines themself. This creates amazing potensai, fat trunks, older trees, ramification ect..
Bonsai Talk oh okay good to know! Thanks👍🏼
謝謝您的分享！
讚！
So true so many people remove trees from nature and kill them . At least you are keeping it alive
I think the main issue is not that Yamadori is an enviromental problem, I think the issue is that it may be selfish to take a tree to your home instead of leaving it in the wild so everyone can enjoy it instead of just you in your bonsai garden
Do you mind yamadori hunting with Me ind Denmark i live ind Høje Taastrup (Capital region) 😅😅
I would love to explore danish yamadori! Send me pictures if you have!
Bonsai Talk I’ve never been yamadori hunting before. but I will send you some pictures of some potential bonsai trees.
😍😍😍
Why under power lines?.....
Kaeo Bermoy they get cut anyway, areas under powerlines have to be kept clean. Also it's possible to find trees that have been cut back many times.

I am spanish and I don’t know about bonsais, but I thought bonsais fanciers were people with large patience. Collect trees form forest don’t look me a good example. This is a short way.
