- The spring tree hunt begins! Looking for Tamarack! Did I find one? I'm also fine tuning my tree identification skills. Bare with me! I'm trying to move from generalized names, to specification of sub species. I'll get there.
I am glad you saved some of the soil that the tree grew in. The beneficial bacteria in the soil will get the roots off to a great start.
Fingers make a good way to get the soil into the roots. Marysol firing in her fingers into the roots to get out the air pockets and get her little one off to a great start. Superb video from start to finish. As Monty Burns would say: Excellent!
Thanks a bunch Tom! Glad you enjoyed it! I still didn't get a new Tamarack though Hahaha!
Tamarack, take some cuttings. Great to see the geese in flight. Like Red Skeleton would say: Duck! Here comes a flock of them. Nice rocks for your collection to take a few samples.
I get some cool rocks when I run the crushers and screeners! We get some really neat rocks out of the gravel pits!
You found your tree. Excellent! I see so many different varieties of trees in your woods. To bad you could not make a penjing that way. Under growth and all. I noticed that when people make penjings the forest is really not copied that way. Would be cool if you could do one.
Perhaps I will try one day! I still would like a Tamarack forest. Once I get that, we'll go from there!
Success at the end of the day :)
Great variety in that area! 1:16 between the pine & poplar looks like might be a fir. I have several Larch bonsai that I've been working on for many years. Collected several & grew some from seed. When I moved across the country I could only take so many & donated a some to a friend. Unfortunately I lost one of the 2 I grew from seed. Looks like a spruce you collected?
Yes we have Balsam Fir here. And yes, it was a Spruce I dug up, not what I had intended on, but I couldn't pass it up! I have been trying to grow some Tamarack from seed, I got one to survive till it started forming a bud, then it dampened off.
Well, you might just have found a better spot than James @BonsaiByTheSea! I will be out collecting this weekend with KW Bonsai, and the following weekend with Toronto Bonsai.. Maybe the week after at Frost Bite Bonsai?? 😂
That would so wicked!!😄 The ground is still frozen here in places. Surprised me. I still didn't get a Tamarack...😅😂 How exciting to start the collecting trips!! Not that we need more trees though Eh Ha!
Wow! I mean… Noice
Don't be sorry. I love trains. Maybe the Big Boy will come through your way.
So many field bonsai to choose from..😅😅
Yes! This is only a portion on one gravel pit!😅
You know how to find money in the woods, right, Marysol. You look for a doe with 2 bucks. A bit a levity for this great walk in the woods and tree tutorial.
Hahaha! Thanks Tom, I'm going to tell that one to my husband!
Hmmmmmm. Why does the Aspen tremble?
Must have been something the breeze whispered as it went through the forest!
Foist...
