- I found a peach tree / Prunus persica yamadori that I'm collecting for Bonsai material from a rubble pile.
Yamadori collecting usually happens in a natural environment. However, we can often find bonsai material even closer, in the urban environment where trees manage to grow naturally in the strangest places and they are in most cases unwanted by the land owners. So collecting trees for bonsai can be also done from someone's garden or, in my case, a rubble pile from a construction site. So the next time you plan on going on yamadori hunting consider taking a walk in your neighborhood.
The urban yamadori (or urbandori) that I'm collecting this time is a peach tree (Prunus persica) that I noticed recently in a rubble pile from a construction site not far from my home. It's far from being the perfect yamadori material as it has many wounds, probably from some rabbits or other animals that were chewing on it, although I'm not excluding the possibility that it was also stepped on at some point. In this video I'm digging it up and planting it in a basket like pot to experiment with air pruning of the roots. Some pruning was also in order to remove all the damaged branches.

Nice little peach tree,Dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🙋🏻♂️
Thank you! I hope it will develop to be a nice Bonsai tree someday.
Lovely tree, it will be a wonderful bonsai👏👏first time I see a cut past made with natural ingredients
Thank you, for now I just hope it will sirvive this year since it didn't have much of a root.
This kind of cut paste is also new to me but when I heard of it I wanted to try it out.
I would have been tempted to just leave it to recover before taking the cutters to it. I'm sure it's going to look great if it bounces back to life.
I've subscribed to see future updates and other new videos.
Normally I would have stopped after potting. In this case I decided to prune it due the extensive damage on the branches and the fact that it had very little feeder roots.
It did bounce back and it was doing ok until we had a late spring frost that affected most fruit trees in my area. All it's leaves got damaged by frost and unfortunately it did not have enough energy to recover. I could have brought it inside for the night but I though it could stand the cold. So I feel this was my fault.
Thanks for subscribing, I hope my future video won't disappoint you.
@@OddBonsai Oh no, I have a big japanese maple that leafed out just before the late frost and it looks very sad but live.
@@BillyBobJoeSnr Healthy established trees will not die from this. All my life sized fruit trees that got affected lost their flowers and had some dieback at the tips of the branches but they're doing fine now. I'm sure your maple will be fine.
@@OddBonsai It should be fine, just looks ugly for now.
Nice yamadori bonsai my dear friend. Good thing you did for that tree is you save it for dying cause by construction. Good job hope to become good bonsai material in the future.
Thanks, it has a long way to recovery before any styling operation can begin.
Can't wait to see how this grows in the future!
I'm also curious what this little guy will look in several years but for now I just hope it will survive the season. The first year and especially the summer are the hardest.
@@OddBonsai I'm curious to know how this tree is doing as we approach spring in the northern hemisphere! :)
@@747captain Unfortunately, it did not make it. It probably had too little root mass and we also had a late spring frost that may have contributed to its death...
@@OddBonsai Ah! Thank you for the update! Alas, you gave it its best chance at survival!
Could you give us a update? That´s will be great. thanks
Unfortunately the tree did not survive.
@@OddBonsai oh i am sorry ☹️
Sometimes it happens... It's important to learn something even from these bad experiences so that we don't repeat the same mistakes.
So how did this guy make out? Any updates??
Unfortunately, it didn't make it. It leafed out and seemed to be doing well until we got a late spring frost. Leaves got frostbitten and from that point it was only downhill... Now I'll have to find another construction site 😁.
@@OddBonsai ah, bummer…but I guess that’s all part of the game.
Yep, you win some, you loose some. I was almost sure this one will survive as sure as I was that 3 other trees that I collected last year from my brother in-laws garden will not survive. This one died. the other ones, that I didn't even bother making a video about, survived. 😁
