    These are the types of trees that drew me to bonsai. I live in a dry area with lots of old One Seeds and I noticed the very interesting dead wood on a lot of them. Many people may just look at the foliage and think they are boring trees, and do not see the value in the trunks

    My god. Literally ANCIENT trees. Some of these may be thousands of years old.
    Looks like you went by yourself, hopefully you had cellphone service in case you got hurt. Thanks for showing us this. It's really impressive. I hope I can visit them myself one day.

      (Google Translate, sorry for any errors... ) Вероятно, им 1000-3000 лет. Можжевельники Сьерра в аналогичных районах датировались путем подсчета колец на поперечных срезах.

    For someone from FLAT South Louisiana, this place is a wonderland. I just figured the grade of the land around my home. It's .0004---- approx. 15 feet of rise in 7 MILES. Yeah, flat. Not a one natural rock around here either. Your area looks like a fantasy land. The trees are marvelous.

    We all agree that the Nature is beautiful but bonsai trees usually look different from natural trees. Perfect bonsai trees often look artificial.

      Gyroscopic stabilized Insta360 Go3 was the camera I used. I was disappointed with the wind noise but in the future I'll add a wind buffer over the mics.

    I've read many comments from people who dont understand bonsai and think deadwooding a juniper kills it. I tell them to Google juniper pictures and ancient junipers to see this is how they really grow in nature.

    • @Bonsaify
      @Bonsaify  11 місяців тому +1

      It's just so important to understand how a genus like this grows in nature. There are many species that people are familiar with, but junipers generally are not what people think. Locally people just think of them as a ground/hill cover. Imagine never creating any deadwood on a juniper - all the possibilities that you're missing.
