Hi @Sam,

Repotting season is just about coming to an end, but I think one thing for next year maybe, that would be super interesting would be to get Peter Warren back in to do a Japanese Maple repot, or deciduous repot. It would be good to see some of the nuances Peter brings up.

Hey @darren! So funny, Ryan & I were just talking about Peter Warren last night. Rest assured - it is absolutely on the docket to have Peter back at the garden sooner than later. We’ll keep everyone posted and I’ll pass on this idea to him!

do a stream with Penjing - styling and techniques…even better would be to have someone there with Ryan that is a Penjing specialist

Juan Andrade back and more on tropical trees would be fun. Would also love to see Ryan try his hand at a succulent forest planting.

A special on “removing mounded nursery stock” would be nice.
I watched the Rootbound special, but a piece could be done on sticky clay soils and that situation you get with mounded, super thick sections of nebari.

Refer to rafi’s question! Thanks

Hey! Yes, we definitely are planning on adding to the Beginner Series. We’ve been reevaluating some video techniques so have paused on production, but are actually restarting filming tomorrow!

Hi Mirai,
Big up for all the great work!
A very talented bonsai practitioner recently bought an old pomegranate to a club meeting; in refinement for a long time and in decline with sap lines drying up. It struck me that I have never heard anything about bringing back old bonsai in decline, and wondered if you could consider this for a stream?

Kendall doesn’t work for Mirai anymore?

ginkgo,

I’ve waited so long I’ve ended up crushing egg shells to get my calcium, please help.
And you did promise a long, long time ago.

Couple of ideas came to mind today.

  1. Dennis Vojtilla guest star demonstrating / explaining some of his deciduous techniques and design style that he mentioned on the podcast on quality material.

  2. Could we have a stream about nebari creation for maples? See sample picture below.

Website Enhancement:

  1. I find myself reviewing certain videos from time to time. Could we have a “favorites” button for various streams we want to go back to and rewatch instead of having to search for it?

  1. How about a guest artist Michael Hagedorn teaching his technique / method on a containerless slab creation
  1. Since Ryan says he has a black thumb with Olives, have Troy teach the nuances of olives like when to prune, when to wire, when to repot, design concepts, how to effectively ramify…etc.

Is it possible to develop a favourites flag in the library, this would enable go to streams to be easily identifiable?
