This farm is starting to get legendary status.. Soon you will see crazy swedes with shovels there aswell!
Just ask for permission at the farmhouse before the first gate!!
Love your videos Bonsai Talk, I watch every one!
Kenapa tidak ada chanel terbaru ya padahal videonya bagus2
I was just out scouting a local cow pasture today and found some of the most incredible hawthorn I’ve ever seen! Perfect video to pop up on my feed today. I feel that hawthorns are some of the best and gnarliest trees for bonsai in the eastern USA. I think we’re just starting to scratch the surface of hawthorn bonsai in the US. Exciting stuff, nice tree, always love your videos.
The goats look very friendly, thanks, nice video!
They've never been mean!! 'Jerks' is lovingly said! Thank you, Nigel
You are so precise with every part of the harvesting process. Respect bonsai brother.
Yes! A new video. Thanks. Greetings from Germany. Keep up your good work. It is really nice watching you working on bonsai
I believe that this is the first time I have watched someone drastically cut back a potential bonsai before checking the root system. Interesting... ;) Great presentation. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
Yeah, another nice one. I also digged 3 Pieces nearly like this one. It gives me hope to get buds this year because of the hard cuts and the less roots your material had. Big up to your Work and go on with this fine hobby. Next weekend Europe is visiting the noelanders Trophy in Belgium. I’ll be there and really looking forward because it’s the 20th time, this exhibition will happen.
Cheers, Gabriel from Germany
Cheers! Have fun at the Noelanders Trophy! One day. One day!!
I am always glad to see your videos. They always inspire me to want to go out looking for more mature trees, because for some reason (laziness) I usually settle for little saplings!
Be brave!
Another interesting piece, keep 'em coming!
Very nicely done.
I find that working spaggnum moss where you make cuts for roots to grow add much needed water retention to spur the root growth.
Pięknie, dzięki za pouczające filmy.
I would like to review this plan today ... More success for the channel!
PS. As I don't understand English I used Google translator.
Great video, can’ wait to see it again!
Wow! That yamadori is stunning! I love what you have done with it. Good job!
love these "before/after" sequences - greets from Germany :)
glad to see youre uploading again. what gives wit h the hiatus? youre easily one of the best bonsai channels, super relatable and knowledgable unlike the "professional bonsai channels" i still enjoy them for the technical knowledge of bonsai but your content is what makes me want to do and continue to do bonsai.
Awesome!! So stoked to hear this! I am in graduate school right now, and that takes priority over video making. The trees are good, and I have lots more to share, and I've even got some really interesting footage ready for you, but editing takes a long time. Studies are coming first.
Awesome find and dig. It’s great to see your process for selecting a specimen and what to cut and keep for both roots and branches. Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
You bet!
Another great video, thanks.Lovely terrain too.
I'm so jealous. I will bring my own shovel and tools dude!! No lie 😅😅 I don't know any farmers but I think I could probably go out and meet some. It's amazing what you find. I'm having a little bit of luck with some elms in the property line of our house but I'm losing several. Tips??
Wait until spring
I've a video of a hawthorn of mine developed from similar very basic material on my channel. I really must get around to doing a before and after video like yours. Its extraordinary how far its come in such a short time. Crataegus really are great for bonsai!
Always great to watch your videos
Keep the good work going 🌴✌️
Genial! Nuevo y esperado vídeo de appalachian bonsai. Gracias!
Congratulations on the great video, I really like your videos of yamadory.
I love seeing your comments, Lillo! Every time!
I've waiting for this in a longggg time.... Thanks for share a nice video.
Nice video...
Awesome tree..
Good spot..
Nice to meet you my friends..
👍❤🙏
I like the motive, thank you for inspiring me, from Indonesia
Nice collection

What a beautifull tree!
Good job bro
Very entertaining, thank you.
dude you video was entretaining ,very .
thank you for showing the after
Nameskar Sir Very good work
I Love Bonsai thanx
What nutrients do you put in the root hormone bath? I have thought about using this method before but have always resulted to just using plain dechlorinated water instead with or without root hormone in fear of burning the new cuts.
I use Canna Rhizotonic, but i've also used a purported multi-nutrient called Superthrive. Arthur Joura says he doesn't bother. Harry Harrington says Canna. So, jury is out. I've never had issues, though. Just follow directions on the label.
Awesome thanks! I've got some superthrive if it gives a better response and doesn't burn the roots I'll definitely give it a shot.
Great job keep up the good work
i wish i could make Holiday's at your Farm and Work with you at your Bonsai's! :D
Love your videos!!
Nice video
I'll try to my project
Thnks sir
Hi from me ,indonesian bonsai beginner
Good luck for you
Good luck for you!
Love you brother 😃
Love it!
The 1st one
I see two elephants, the one you mentioned and a bigger one behind it! 2:36 ♥
Oh yeah!
Did this tree survive? Is it featured in another video?
It's still kicking! I haven't featured it in an update video, but I should. It's been reoriented, carved, and might get an air layering this spring.
Can you please make a video on bonsai soil !
Hi, I accompany your work and I get every day, very wanting to learn more, you when you put them in the substrate, when using water fertilizer or rooting? and this sand is made of that, here we use shards of brick, tiles and saubstrato of Horta, black earth.
I use regular off-the-shelf fertilizer every two weeks, starting at the end of spring through early autumn. Abracos
If i bring a tree inside in Minnesota, idk how its gonna adjust to the weather or light. Suggestions please.
If the tree was collected from outside, I would leave it outside. That's what it is accustomed to, all seasons. Our indoor climates are similar to cool deserts. Temperate zone trees cannot survive long.
Hello ! Where is your updates, how is winter 2020 in USA ?
Winter is good. Trees are still dormant for now, but should have some updates in a month or two when spring begins.
what is the diatomaceous earth for? Here it is used for filtering water and for pest insect control
Just had the same question from someone else: It's the chunky stuff used in car garages for spills and is the main ingredient in kitty litter. Sometimes it's called kitty-dama, because it has similar properties to Japanese akadama, though definitely differences, too. It absorbs moisture and releases it slowly, so the roots stay damp not wet. You can buy it at NAPA auto parts #8822, and OIL-Dri, though a different type of mineral, also works well. I hear tomato junkies use it in their soil mixes for the same reasons.
does the rooting bath help? I'd love to hear more about that.
As I don't run a professional bonsai nursery, I've never done a proper test. However, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence pointing to rooting hormones helping. The type I use is from a brand called Canna (likely for cannabis industry) that was recommended by Harry Harrington. Smells like urine, but so does SuperThrive (another supplement used in bonsai). The smell supposedly comes from the B-vitamins. If anything, it doesn't hurt.

Good materials for bonsai. Do you have to pay for collecting?
You have to pay on public lands. I collect from private property owned by friends and coworkers.
I was surprised the Crataegus grew with very little fibrous roots on the trunk.
It's a little complicated & not always successful, but spring collection at the right time is key. As the roots push sap into the trunk in early/mid spring, the trunk fills up. If you collect at this time, you essentially create a battery. That excess of sap feeds the tree enough to push new roots & shoots. You can only do this with deciduous, though. Conifers would die very quickly.
Great, Thank you for your video and reply.
Nice material 👍
👋thankyou share video 🖒
Great job. There is no root on the tree. How can you survive the tree in this way ? or how does the tree survive and feed until it forms a root ?
The tree survives until if forms roots. This is because spring causes the roots to push sugars (nutrients) into the trunk of the tree until it swells and pushes out leaves. If you collect at this time, then the trunk is full of its own food, which it can use to make new roots and buds. I hope that makes sense.
Oye solo una duda ases bonsái con sus rrespectibas directrices o sólo son árboles pequeños.
Estos eventualmente se convertirán en bonsai. En este momento, sólo están cortando árboles.
Sorry for asking so many questions on your vids. I’m new to the game. Have your hawthorn trees had any die back on the tips? I’m marking trees for spring collecting and I’ve noticed most hawthorns have die back on the tops and branch tips. Not sure what the solution is. Maybe a fungicide treatment??
Sometimes. On mine, it's usually one or combination of weather, cedar-apple rust, or fire blight. A systemic fungicide applied in spring and fall can help.

Rooting Hormon should only be applied to parts you actually want to grow roots, or not?
Yeah, pretty much
Why do you add diatomaceous earth? Is this in granular form apart from a fine powder? I am only familiar with it at work where we use it as a natural treatment for nats.

@@AppalachianBonsai that's interesting. I actually picked up a similar product to oil dry at AutoZone in place of turface. Thanks for info!
Wonderful 👍
What hawthorn species is this? The ones in the UK have more palmated leaves.
This one's C. viridis, or green hawthorn. Your common hawthorn (C. monogyna) is definitely more pronounced in the divisions. Pretty trees.
Great
this is really cool
You clean the roots like that and you do so to make the tree live. can you share details?
I remove the old soil because it's mostly clay - which isn't good for drainage. Good drainage allows roots to grow strong and quickly, which I need after collecting. I am also adding some root hormone to help stimulate that root growth. I hope that makes sense
Is there a bonsai tree that can be left outside 360, thanks
All temperate zone trees (non-tropical) should be left outside or in cold storage as long as it is acclimated to your particular place in the world. All of my trees are outside now in a winter bed. They're trees and need the change of seasons like the rest. Hope that answers your questions.
When you use your rooting hormone/nutrient mix, are you making this from rooting hormone powder?
No. I am using a liquid hormone called Canna Rhizotonic. Smells terrible. Full of B vitamins
I love what you're doing. Amazing! Do you have a video on how to prepare the soil, and where to buy the ingredients ?
I do! My latest vi (Soil Test 3) shows my mix proportions, and Tips & Tricks shows the exact brands I use.
@@AppalachianBonsai thank you!
In which season u collecte for bonsai...is it spring?
Yes. Spring.
Very interesting thanks
Do you sift your pine bark as well? If so, what size? Thanks for the video. I'm watching your collection vids multiple times as I've got a couple of trees I plan on collecting in late winter/early spring.
I sift the same as my soil ingredients: 2-6mm (1/16"-1/4")
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
Thank you.
i love your videos and i hope more videos to come😘😍😍
from: philippines
what did you mix on water sir?
hormon ukorzeniający. Używam płynnej wersji o nazwie Canna Rhizontonic.
awesome!
Hi Brother,
How many days will take to come new branches/roots ?
Usually 4-6 weeks before it begins regrowing strongly
For rooting what we can use
@@Sudhi111 I use Canna Rhizotonic.
Thank You...always an adventure watching you practice your skill....I always learn and will someday test myself with your example....tm
Good stuff
Nice video and very inspiring me! Do you have apply the same soil composition for any kind of collecting for bonsai? Thank.
I do. Some people use pure pumice or perlite after collection. I haven't tried yet, but want to so I can see differences.
Any Update about this?!!
It'll be the next video!! Hopefully I can catch a breath to finish editing, but it'll be the first one up
I fell you work with a headset for your editing.
Nutriment and hormon its the key for this way of bonsai. Thank you for sharing. :)
I usually do the cuts then leave the tree in the ground, and collect before the buds start.
In Scotland we can go anywhere without asking permission.this is the Law.
I wish we had your right-to-roam laws. I was over there a year & a half ago. Our hosts said, go wherever you'd like!
It's still illegal to remove trees without landowners permission though. Or uproot any plant for that matter.
What rooting hormones do you use?
I use a product called Canna Rhizotonic. I think it works really well. Harry Harrington of England turned me on to it. Stinks to high heaven, but effective.
Ryan Neil said turface isn't really that good as bonsai soil. He said it holds water well but doesn't give it back.
Ryan Neil lives in lava rock and pumice country (Oregon). I'm not saying he's spoiled, I'm saying he has the opportunity to use something which I don't have the luxury to obtain for cheap. I've used Turface for 12 years without issue as have so many others. Perma-til is an alternative here on the east coast, but I'd have to buy the sifted size in bulk, which again, don't have the current means to.
@@AppalachianBonsai Good to know. I heard somewhere turface is the same as kitty litter. I found a some kitty litter at the store where I work that comes in a 4 or 5 gal bucket for like $4. It's Safeway brand and the ingredients say "fired clay" only. I started using it but stopped after I heard Ryan say it wasn't good. I'v been buying my akadama, lava rock and pumice on Amazon. $$$. Maybe I should go back to mixing some of the kitty litter in and save some money.
@@rydaug79 I'd go easy on the kitty litter. If you live in an area with multiple freeze/thaw sessions each winter, kitty litter breaks down into mush. The main ingredient in litter is diatomaceous earth. Check my soil vid on freeze thaw cycles. I still use it, but only about 20% of the mix.
@@AppalachianBonsai The Ingredients on the litter bucket says 100% ground clay. Is that the same as diatomaceous earth?
@@rydaug79 No it isn't DE, but now I'm really curious. If you've got the time, soak a small sample in water and freeze it. Like an ice cube tray size. Thaw it. Freeze it. Thaw it Freeze it. Do that a few times, and you'll get a great idea of how it will react by the end of this weekend. If its mush, I'd use it sparingly with your mix and not as your main ingredient. I want you and your plants to have the best chance of success, and if it's mush and doesn't drain, you might have issues with root rot. Keep me tabbed on this.
Do you harvest when the plant is dormant?
Yes, just before it begins to come back out of dormancy. I discuss this more in my tips & tricks video. If you catch it at the right time, it's almost like a battery.
I have a bunch of hawthorn near my house. I never thought they would make good bonsai because of their thorns. I knew hawthorn made good bonsai I just didn't know thats what they were. I just figured out they were hawthorn this spring. I am excited to dig some up but its probably too late in the season huh? How do you deal with the thorns? Can you just clip them off?
It's starting to get late in the season depending on where you live. In the northern climates, you might be able to get away with it but if not, I'd wait until late fall or early spring. With the thorns, it's not a problem on the green hawthorns - their needles are only about 1/2". The BIG hawthorn I have is a cockspur, and its thorns are almost 2"! I know some people trim them off completely. Graham Potter talks about pruning the tip... just the tip.
@@AppalachianBonsai yeah these are 2 inches. I'll wait until next year to collect it.
Can you give us some advice about when can we do this to the tree and be less stressful? I think my question is: Do you do it in sprint/winter or what season? :)
PS:Good to se another video !!
My favorite time is spring. Just as buds are starting to swell. For my area, that's between late February and early April.
i think the tree didnt have allot of growth from spring 2017 to summer 2018. i like your videos and waiting for the next. college didnt left you time for upload lately. thanks
It's had some, but I've pruned it back. This one certainly struggled it's first year, but exploded this last year. I have footage that needs to be edited from this past summer where I prune it back and begin some shaping.
@@AppalachianBonsai waiting to edit the footage, nice work
Great video, so informativ! You just got yourself a new sub ^^
Woohoo!!
Mantappp 👍
Nice Video
Cannot imagine this survived?
Surviving wonderfully! I have footage to update everyone about it, but haven't edited it yet.
Good things. Thanks again as always!
What happened to that descending on line your main trunk? I thought that was going to be the main leader..?
Do you seal all of these cuts & if so with what?
It turned out to be a dead branch, as did two others, so I trimmed them to live wood. I only seal very large cuts like these initial ones, and I use exterior wood glue like Titebond II
What a plants name ?
Green hawthorn. Crataegus viridis.
Wow, you have got hair! i always thought you are bald with that cup . Aah... well maybe it's because I'm bald myself👴 joke aside what kind of root hormone do you use? Thanks
Haha! It's not gone yet, but it's definitely receding more and going gray! I use Canna Rhizotonic. Smells like deer pee, but works well. Use as directed.
@@AppalachianBonsai I had doubts that the Rhizotonic really works. But it seems you have debunked my doubts :)
new video🤗🤗😍😘
hi..good job
