I think it is needed to say, that while my trees are real yamadori...trees found, and dug up, and cut back.....the tree you showed me, has nothing at all to do with yamadori, though it has been fieldgrown ....this tree is developed by proffesionel bonsaipeople, and have been repottet in the ground, grown up, and cut back several times, untill this shape.

Kind regards yvonne

What has gone on since the Winter of 2011

The hawthorn is doing well...I did not cut two of the upper branches as far back as I wanted...better safe than sorry......later.....

The pear was a bush to look at earlier.....a Little carving is needed in the top, but I have to wait with that.

The hawthorn from page 5, is now looking like this
Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_3015
Growing like I hoped it would Smile The tree is leaning towards the viewer, this is why i have kept no branches in the front, only in the top...My plan is, to let the branches further dawn the trunk, grow towards the front, and fill up a little.

Kind regards Yvonne

Thanks Alain

Funny...my husband just said exacly the same thing...no doubt, it will look nice with flowers in a few years....

Buuut...I only have branches on my mind, my goal is to make the tree look nice, and hopefully fairly natural without the leaves.

Lets see...I have my fun Smile 

Kind regards Yvonne

i think if people are trying to be very accurate as they seem to be here real yamadori can only be a collected tree from a mountain- and a mountain is universally accepted to have an elevation of 600m or more - anything less is a hill Very Happy  - in bonsai terms a tree collected from a hill is just the same as a tree dug up in a garden, a field, a cliff - none of these are remotely close to yamadori trees....most collected lowland trees seem to lack all the visible weathering and apparent age associated with real yamadori too. Even in japan not all mountain collected trees are worthy of the title - the tree must also show sighs of great age, weathering and convey the harsh environment

the term 'collected tree' is probably the most accurate term we could use - i guess 99% of the trees labelled yamadori we see outside japan have never been anywhere near to a mountain and i feel it is a term that should be reserved for truely deserving material and not just any randomly dug up plant material

Hi Marcus

I did not know a yamadori, is a tree collected in the Mountains...I just thought some yamadori is better than other...I, like so many other people see bonsaimaterial collected in the wild is yamadori, but if it is so...do I not mind call my trees colleced trees, as they dont have the extraodinary quality the truly old trees from the Mountains have.
I can be a problem if we have to explain yamadori contra collected material all the time...but I understand, and thank you for the information

kind regards Yvonne

That was an interesting point Marcus made - like Yvonne I didn't know there was a difference.  It will be be interesting as I have no doubt trees are being sold as yamadori when they are technically not so.

Hi Everybody

For those of you, who still are new to bonsai, do I have a observation on this hawthorn, you might want to use
Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_3111

Though the lowest branch already is the the biggest, does the second branch grow stronger than the first ( lowest)branch....this is not wanted, as the lowest branch need to be the strongest, and the other branches slightly weaker towards the top..this way will the tree stay ballanced, and develope taper...

It has been the problem all summer... I am not planning to prune the tree to solve the problem in the future...during the Winter will the tree be repottet for the first time, and here will I prune the roots more on the right side, than under the lowest branch...this way will the tree end up growing ballanced.

Have a nice day...kind regards Yvonne

Yvonne, thank you for sharing your experience once more!
This plan of yours sounds quite rational and much probably will solve the problem of the first branch. But may I ask if you have already used in the past this kind of root pruning one side of the root ball more than the other? I mean do you already have proof/result for your estimations?

Hi Alexandra

Nice to hear from you Again

Yes I have used it before...actully all the time...this new tree is a good exsample, for demonstration.....maybe I only can reduse a little in the strong side this time, as it is a new yamadori, but then will I just take more the year after, untill ballanced....I normaly do this on young seedlings too, after a year or so, when they have gained a Little trunk and strainght.

Kind regards Yvonne

yamadori is not the good term, yamadori is the technic of obtaining , the good term for the tree obtained by this method is : araki.

Hi abcd

Maybe this is the correct Word...I just used the word common in the West, and did not want to spend a lot of thoughts about this issue...I will call them collected trees in future, no problem
kind regards Yvonne

This hawthorn is showing what i call ballanched Growth
Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_3118
It is showing all new shots has the same lengd...

It is not because I have done something with the roots, but because I have, with the prunings I made from the beginning, made sure the lowest branches was kept strong....this will again create the wished for taper, and fatter lower branches.

I am pleased with the young tree as it is now...look forward to the repotting...have no idea what I have, and how long it will take before the tree is in a final pot.

Kind regards Yvonne

But of course!

Regarding the hawthorn does this have white or dark pink colored flowers, Yvonne?

The two big hawthorns is in pots now...they both had nice dense surfaceroots, thanks to the big flat stones I had placed on the surface.
The roots gave no problem at all, and can go in any pot of my wish in the future.
Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_4213
I was not really happy about most of the branches on the tree, and have cut it hard back...I probably have lost a year or so in this procces...but as I am new to big trees, and will  just take it from there, and hope I learned something during this summer, when I spend a lot of time studying old hawthorns growing in harsh conditions.

Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_4214
This one come accros as a little too dense in the right side...I will study the photo and the tree for a while before taking out branches.

Hi Yvonne

Stunning trunks, lots of character (especially the semi hollow one).

I'm sure with your skills they will develop into great trees! Please carry on updating this post in the future.

Hi Richard and Todd

Many thanks for nice comments....only time will tell, if the trees become nice in the future, as I am new to big trees...I used to want my trees shohin or kifu...but now I want them big, and it is not easy to transform this shohinteqnik into big trees...Young trees in my garden, witch I have startet to train as shohin and kifu, do I now want to grow big, in a not japanese style, it is like having a new hobby  Smile

Kind regards Yvonne

Many thanks Alexandra, hope you find a hawthorn this year  Smile

Acer Campestre, yamadori - Page 7 Img_4318
Have thinned out the branches a little, ( a stone is holding a branch in a desired angle for now). Also have I found a slightly difrent pottingangle, and front...with this new front will the nebari faster become nicer with age, as the tree have fairly strong roots in both sides of the viewingfront ( Black lines)...still hitten in the soil.

Kind regards Yvonne
