    Your not looking at the camera is not a problem for this viewer. Just watching you while you work your "magic" and listening to your commentary is just fine by me.
    My first exposure to Bonsai trees occurred more than forty years ago (I am in the 71st year of my life) at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York City. The Gardens have a sizable area modeled after a Japanese garden where one can leisurely wander about and be surrounded by a never ending panorama of beauty. Walking through it left me with an indelible fascination with the Japanese aesthetic.
    An impressive collection of highly valued Bonsai trees is one of the Garden's major attractions and can be viewed in the Garden's green house.
    I recently started feeling a resurgence of interest in Bonsai after seeing a workshop on wiring and trimming a Bonsai through a glass storefront. It was being conducted in a coffee shop of all places.
    Rather than attending such a dubious workshop, I have decided to follow your presentations over the internet and try my hand at this beautiful art.
    Thank you for your willingness to share your valuable knowledge, experience and skills.

    Love your trees...your old maple trees here in your video look much like the ones surrounding my area...The trees here are at least 100+ years old...the center of these old trees often rot out and become hollow....octopus looking......but this big tree has much determination it stills grows on....occationally sacrificing a large limb. The seeds start easily but grow so fast putting roots down fast. It's like mastering a giant... Yours are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

    I've had a mulberry growing in a black plastic pot just like those maples for at least 5 years now. When I went to take it up off the ground, it had 2 huge roots growing down through the holes in the bottom of the pot and it was really anchored to the ground. I had to work at cutting those two large roots in order to get the pot and tree off the ground and up onto my back deck to work on it. It is really looking nice. I am REALLY enjoying your videos!

    I love watching these long videos to get an understanding of the whole process. No one else on UA-cam offers so much detail, so necessary to build a larger knowledge base. I thank you for being so willing to share what you know with us all. Another quick question...how long can a plant sit out on the counter with it’s roots exposed before it starts to damage the plant? (I used to grow small Bonsai about 20 years ago in Massachusetts, but when I moved to Wyoming where the climate is soooo dry, I failed with them all for lack of adequate water. I guess I should have watered them 4 times a day and really had no idea how different the climate was. Since watching your videos I am now looking at the local plants for ideas. How about a sagebrush bonsai? The smell would be fantastic )
