- Dave DeGroot welcomes David Easterbrook to his former stomping grounds at the Pacific Bonsai Museum located in the state of Washington.
The retired curator shares stories and anecdotes about some of the amazing specimens in the collection and their creators.
We also hear the contrasting visions between David DeGroot and the new curator Aarin Packard and how they can converge. The end result is a collection that is both vibrant and evolving over the years to create one of the top bonsai collections in North America.

This is the best tour one could ever get, thanks Dave and David!!!
Thank you so much, seeing a walk thu is probably the only thing I get to enjoy. Having a family with major disabilities has some set backs. I always dreamed of traveling. I've also has a dream that some day when I get old that one of my sagebrush bonsai will be on displayed and enjoyed by the world. As for right now there too young and very undeveloped for anything like that.
What I appreciate most about the Pacific Bonsai Museum is that they honour the history and legacy, complex as it may be of how Bonsai came to America after the atrocities of WW II and executive order 9066 of Japanese internment.
Even tho some of these bonsai aren’t the absolute pinnacle, they all have meaning and ooze love.
The forest at 10:00 is spectacular. Thanks David.
Thanks for that, David. Great to see you and my old friend, DeGroot. Lots of good information and excellent lingering over these amazing trees.
The living legend is in the museum folks! Lovely examples of all kinds of beautiful tree's
What an amazing video. Yes, every tree has the story. That makes them realy special. Would be missing a lot without Daves commentary. Thank for sharing David.
Always great episodes Dave, but this wss the best!
Those magnificent trees, & the backstory's to go with them..
👏🏽👏🏽
🏆
Wow you have a great bonsai calection thanks DAVID
Loved watching this tour. Thanks for taking us round so that we could enjoy all these wonderful trees and hear the associated stories.
What a amazing place. I would love to visit it in person one day
J'ai beaucoup aimé ces arbres et leurs histoires, merci pour la vidéo !
I knew that was a Jim Smith tree. His work has always stood out to me and I'm forever grateful to have gotten to work on trees with him at his durastone nursery.
That sierra juniper had a true life of a tree i feel like. It was done soo well where the jin was actually the apex and died off and the new apex stretched out to find the light. What a story! Not how people throw jins all over the place but an actual event. Loved that part. Stunning trees .great video thanks
Thanks for sharing!!
That hackberry is very skillfully designed and cultivated. I'm not a fan of the 'stump that has come back to life' school of bonsai, but this has solved the aesthetic problems.
Bravo Ryan Neil 👍👍👏👏👏

David where can I purchase the bonsai society shirt?
Have a chance to purchase an umbrella pine that has been in the same pot going on 20 years. Has an awesome trunk can these be turned into a bonsai.
I’ve checked all your videos and I see u don’t have any jade bonsái!😩😩
Can someone list the names of each bonsai tree please? Hard to understand as non native English speaker. Much appreciate! Especially 08:19 and 09:30
First is Hinoki Cypress, on the other he's saying "Saikei" (group planting) and looks like Kishu Juniper to me.
7:02 😂 - “not necessarily given”
