    Graham, I just want you to know that you are my favorite bonsai professional and you’ve always been!! I’m 34 years old and I live in the USA. Your videos are the first bonsai videos , I ever found on UA-cam!! It’s been over 10 years now and I know you’re not chomping at the bit to consistently put out UA-cam content but I absolutely love your techniques and how you can turn nothing into something!! Thanks for the video!!!

    Your words of wisdom at the end of the video are true for any artform. An oil painter can't expect to learn only from videos. It requires moving paint around, dabbing it here and there, and maybe even getting your fingers involved in the process. Videos, like yours, point the way, but excellence is only achieved by doing. Thanks Graham for pointing the way.

    The beginning seems startling, and then the change is interesting. Further along feels like a creation and then coming up to the finish feels like a gift.

    That was truly inspirational. I started and have continued my bonsai journey with several young trees, and some I've dug out of other's yards. This video was incredible, not just because of how that yew turned out way better than I thought it would, but also hearing you talk through it in a manner that speaks volumes of your experience, and in a way that even I can understand. Thank you!

    Hey! Nice one. Watching your work made me get a selection of nursery stock and start training; now, five years later, I have some decent bonsai-bound little rascals. Quickest "mature" results came with larches and beech, which seem made for bonsai; southern beech (Nothofagus) has exciting form and with its naturally tiny leaves looks stunningly aged already. Metasequoia and sweetgum (Liquidambar) are also a joy to work with. THANKS for giving me a supercool hobby mate! Changed my life for the better, no joke.

    What you said about it taking 10 or so years to become a passable bonsai is something that should be spread around more. The amount of trees in random pots for sale at ridiculous prices is a joke. “Just say it’s bonsai and you can charge a ton for it”.

    • @WelshAnimation
