The 8 videos you should start with in the archive

Hi! Definitely a good idea. Nursery Stock Series Pt. 4 is a stream focused on repotting nursery stock so I think that is a really good first repotting oriented stream to watch.

I’m new to this site, and I can’t begin to choose favorites. I want to watch them ALL. I want to absorb all of the knowledge they provide NOW. Every title in the archive seems to promise something that failure to learn just might be critical to the health of my trees. As I begin to prepare my trees for winter in the PNW, every mention of energy balance seems most important. … I take it back. I want to learn it all YESTERDAY!

Design Fundamentals clarified so many questions I had on how you use an artistic vision to shape a tree. It literally felt like I was having an epiphany. A must-watch!!!

I’m actually currently watching the soils stream now. 4th time I’ve watched it and I’m still either learning something new or reinforcing some knowledge. Definitely helps to start at the base/ground/soil level. Don’t get this right and you’ll never have a quality tree.

I’ve gotten into the habit of rewatching the seasonal fundamentals and really videos before each season of work to keep my work focused. Think I’ve watched them 3 or 4 times each!

Around the 6:20 mark in the following video Ryan has a whiteboard session on branch building. Very informative and should be referred to often.

A very interesting video with a hedge maple where there is discussion on design, development and refinement. Worst the time to watch it. Great learnings!

Spring fundamentals for the win!

I can imagine Ryan could shoot “exactly” the same stream with (upgraded) 2021 knowledge :slight_smile:
