This is from a Bonsai Society of Portland (Oregon) video entitled ‘Uncovering an Air-layer.’ I found it on Michael Hagedorn’s Crataegus Bonsai.
What’s with bonsai people?
A friend of mine (she isn’t a bonsai enthusiast) once describe bonsai people as a ‘bunch of harmless nerds.’ I’m not so sure about the harmless part (just kidding?), but you might find a touch of nerdiness every now and then (not that there’s anything wrong with it). Anyway, check out this video. It’s instructive (in more ways than one). And BTW, the happy cackle belongs to Mr. Hagedorn himself.
Michael inspecting the newly separated unidentified little tree (some kind of beech?).
Michael’s boot.
That’s my video taken in May during Michael’s Sunday class.
Thanks Scott. Do you have other bonsai videos that we can link?
And there’s the wise crack right before the video record button went on (you can hear the laughter) that was me saying, “Look! It’s a son of a beech!” Corny, but it worked at the time…
That would be my bark buddy Al, eh?
