@@beardedbonsai nice. would you mind doing a quick spring bench tour when you have time for it? i would especially love to see that big hornbeam with its now probably tiny leaves
@@annanym5947 Things are leafing out late this year here the weather has been crazy. I am trying to wait until I have leaves. At this point I may wait for the azaleas to bloom.
Interesting tree. not sure I've seen these in my area of NH. Nigel Saunders acquired a couple of these and should be working on them soon. What is the root system like on these?
They have a pretty fine root structure. The roots are oddly black and it is hard to tell living from dead. They are vigorous growers above and below the soil. Bill Valavanis at International bonsai has done some long term work on a few. Decades ago they were sold as a landscape plant but are now heavily regulated across north america. I could dig one up every day on my own 2 acre property and never run out. Once in a while I find one I cant resist and in my opinion they are a very nice and easy species to work with as bonsai.
ah yes master hudson finally blessed us with another video ;)
Thanks Anna. I was away for a while but I'm back for now.
