Just a quick question. Do you take yamadori to mean anything dug up from the wild or just the older, more venerable trees? Does any one know how the Japanese use the word.
It would be interesting to know a Japanese understanding of their own word.
山鳥 are the charachters for the word Yama Dori seem to mean Hill and Bird. So I have no freaking idea.

actually yamadori is written as 山採り or 山取り , first one can be translated as picking from mountain, and second taken from mountain, so no birds in there

Here is yet another example of when using Japanese terms just doesn't work... Our own language is difficult enough yet we insist on using one in which none of us are fluent????
We have many words in English that would completely solve this problem for all involved but instead we think it is cool to use Japanese words even though we don't have a clue what they really mean or how they are used correctly...
Collected from the mountains
collected from the swamp
collected from the yard...
very clear and you don't have to buy into the "Bonsai Mystic" to understand....

But that still begs the question, Anything collected from…. or old, naturally dwarfed material only. It would be nice to have a word that is widely agreed on for that.
