Hey Josh, I’m a park ranger in the UK 🇬🇧 and in the country park I work at we’ve got a Japanese stroll garden, it was created in 1903 and I’m now in the process of restoring it after nearly 60 years of neglect… it is an amazing garden and unearthing some of the stonework walls and ponds is very rewarding. I just want to let you know, your videos have helped me massively when researching what I should be doing. Also, I’ve learned so much and I look at the garden in a completely different way now…. Thank you and please keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot for your comment, I really appreciate it. Your project sounds like a dream of uncovering, restoring, sliding in a few personal touches of your own. Do you have any original pictures or sketches of what the original looked like? Are you allowed to "interpret" some aspects of it? Have fun with that, it sounds like a lot of fun, and hard work.
Beautiful, I quite enjoy your videos mood, subjects and content, merci beaucoup. I'm planning on starting some cherry seeds I collected to make a few bonsai. I live in Canada and it's really hard to get cultivars of japanese cherry trees, so I'll start some black cherry seeds. Also I live in a 3b hardiness zone (-40°C à -34°C in winter), so it's very cold, and I'm presently searching info if I can keep the plants inside in the winter, because I fear most of them would not survive outside in pots unless they're very well protected. But I know many deciduous trees need a dormancy period, so this always complicate things a little, haha! I like that your video talked about the many cultivars and strains, so maybe if I'm not successful with these, I'll try to source another strain that is more cold resistant. Thanks again! またね
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. That's a pretty tough zone you live in. There is a dwarf tree that might work, the Carmine Jewel cherry tree (zones 3-8). Another dwarf or shrub like one is Western Sandcherry (Prunus besseyi). A couple of others I found are Juliet, Nanking, and the Canada Red Select, which could be a good native variety for you. Good luck in your hunt!
Perfect timing. I have been thinking about getting a cherry blossom tree for my yard and located a nursery in Spokane, WA, that has a nice variety. You must have received my message in the Universal Field. LOL Thank you for this video and for each you produce for us.
I definitely felt the message! Thanks. Spokane should have some nice different varieties to choose from. I've always loved shidare-zakura, weeping cherry trees.
Very informative and interesting video

@@ShizenStyle I will keep that variety in mind while shopping.
Namaste, friend.
