I don’t know if he’s here, but the YT channel, Appalachian Bonsai, had a huge impact/influence on my beginnings in bonsai and beyond..
Not sure if the majority of my trees would be wild collected...or if the bug would have bitten so deep had I not started in tandem with being inspired by his videos...being originally from KY and very familiar with Appalachia probably didn’t hurt either, but seriously I believe this too helped pull back the curtain of mystique (bn too) and odd stereotype that bonsai went hand in hand with something like dressage horses or such..a sole practice of ultra wealth
Thanks much to all that do post videos, I subscribe to every one I find (unless they are trash
), as well those that I cannot understand the languages...
@Vance Wood, wish you posted more
