    People don't realize the amount of work and dedication it takes to run a bonsai nursery at this level. Props to you Bjorn on your hard earned success.

    No question about it Bjorn, being able to make a living off the Art you create through every tree you style is beyond a blessing. And you earned it in every sense of the word, you’re a true artist and an inspiration to us all🥂

  • @brianj959
    @brianj959 Před rokem +5

    Fantastic video, Bjorn. These are getting so good now, you could take a side job in the movie industry! But also, full credit to you for you work and business success. Your bonsai skill is unquestioned, but as I’ve seen you say in another video, the business side of it is at least 50%, not just the financial aspects, but credit too for acknowledging the importance of proper OHS in a heavy manual labour line of work. The trees are looking truly splendid if you had a recent bout of almost drought-like conditions, green and luscious, not a single brown leaf anywhere!

  • @andygrontkowski5447
    @andygrontkowski5447 Před rokem +4

No doubt being with your trees in the garden have contributed significantly to your wellness. Thank you for a lovely video. Ever thought of doing one of your own collection? PS. You want to feel brutal hot summer, come to the Bahamas in August😅

    Great vid. Love the slow mo shots. Reminds me of some of yours from when you lived in Japan. Just wondering why you do not tie your trees down to the bench like they do in Japan. I am guessing that in Japan it is for earthquakes but I imagine it would prevent wind from toppling the trees as well. Most of mine are on the ground but I have some rascally trash pandas that I would worry about if mine were up high. Anyways thanks for all the great content.
