Collecting Bonsai Trees From The Wild: Black Bag Technique Experience

Check out my first YouTube video. I appreciate your feedback, I hope you will like it and someone finds it useful.

Acer campestre No.3 first styling

This maple tree was collected from the wild a few years ago and was sitting and waiting until there was the right time. It was regularly pruned back and after new growth emerged unnecessary stuff was removed. There is a big scar on the trunk since it was originally growing next to the wired fence which damaged the bark significantly. Now a few days ago I worked scars with Dremel and wired branches and I can wait for new foliage.

CARPINUS BETULUS "RUSNAK" in new pot

Tree in a new pot by Hugo Studeník since spring. Doing fine so far.

Fraxinus ornus "Cliffhanger" 10 years anniversary

This Ash tree was collected ten years ago from the edge of the quarry. I was fixed with rope to a bigger tree when collecting it. There were about 30 meters of nothing below the tree, hence the name. Quite an experience. I saved his life. We are brothers since then. Maybe he will save mine once.

Pot by Pravoslav Dorda. The tree was too dense so it was partially defoliated at the top of the crown and cut back.

Carpinus betulus "RUSNAK"

Hornbeam after spring editing. Cleaning dry braches and some adjustments. Two weeks ago repotted one year too late after 3 seasons. One major root heavily shortened. Removing some old soil still from collecting times ten years ago. A potted bit deeper as a result of rootwork. Getting there slowly. Moss to keep wet top level of the soil. Must be protected from birds since they make it pigs breakfast in minutes if not covered with mesh.
