  • What is the tree at 1:20. please :) nice vid btw ;D

  • @nerdykid136

    That would be a Trident Maple, one of my favorite varieties of trees for this art form. The leaves have 3 points instead of 5 like most maple leaves.

  • What's the bonsai type at 1"16? I would be very gratefull if anyone could help me...

  • It's a Japanese maple, not lace-leaf, just standard. You can reduce the size of a leaf to 1/4 of the original with regular pruning. This is why plants with small foliage are desired to begin with. You certainly would not want to use a canadian maple because the leaves are VERY large to begin with. Another popular maple is the Trident which has 3 prongs.

  • Where are you from?

  • The collection is at the Weyerhauser Gardens located in Federal Way, Washington state. I live near Olympia, WA about 1/2 hour from the collection..

  • 1:20's pot also houses an azalea and, I think, a myrtle. Is is a mixed planting (seikei) with the trident maple over rock.

    :30 is a Willlow leaf Ficus

    1:25 Creeping Hydrangea

    1:57 Ginko

    2:03 is John Naka's artistry and it's a San Jose Juniper

    2:09 is a Father and Son style (a personal favorite) and I think it is a fir, but can't quite pull it out of my head right now.

    1:16 a Japanese maple.

    BTW Canabis is not a grass nor a tree.

  • @nerdykid136 1:20 almost looks like canabis^^ a weed bonsay would look pretty cool but it wouldnt work because canabis is not a tree but a grass

  • Very nice. Thanks for posting this. The music is pretty good, too.

  • Bautifull...all of them have 100 years.
