Post em' Up! Non-Coniferous Yamadori in the Americas

Hmm what is a collected tree?

Is it extreme age - say 100 to 300 + of age?

Is it just a collected tree, say from a hedge?

Was it a tree / shrub, collected and being untouched by human hands, left untouched to grow in a pot ?
Admired because it survived a harsh life?

Definition ---------------------- anyone ?

* Stacy on our side, on the windward zones, seagrape will completely defoliate if they need to in the Dry season for about a month.
Our Dry Season follows your winter's cold.
 
We can go round and round about what a Yamadori is when actually the word it slef means from the mountains. If I am wrong please correct me. You can call a tree a collected tree if rescued from a hedge or landscape somewhere but true Yamadori, in my understanding, are trees whose existence is from the process of nature being nature outside the influence of man.

I would agree with that. I always try to differentiate the two when I speak of them.
 
Does anyone know what happened to the "Edit" button on our posts? My photo's are messed up on an earlier post and I can't find a way to edit...

Here are the pictures that were lost. Aspen:







Thanks for sharing!
Very cool material. I would love to see a closer image of the Aspen! And the damage done by beavers

Thanks. Here are closer shots of the beaver damage:

Once posts reach a certain age, they can no longer be edited. I'm not sure exactly when that point is.

The aspens look interesting. I'm going to try experimenting with a few, we've got them coming up all over the place around here. Will be digging a couple of small ones in the spring.
 
Well send me a beaver and we'll rule the deadwood bonsai world.

Nice stuff!
 
I'd like to wait for spring, but can ligustrum be collected safely this time of year?
 
Great thread and hey Dan W......I agree that Aspen could/can make a nice tree, I've had one in a pot for a number of years and was thinking that I should dig some more (there's a grove of them right outside the back yard) and make a forest.
This year the one I have, showed that maybe its time to re-pot it, as it has sent out/up a sucker/shoot which grew to about 10 inches........maybe I don't need to dig anymore and just let this one do what they do naturally to create a forest:D. One slight issue with the one I've got is that some branches die back seemingly without reason? Cheers G.
 
Nice trees, really love the winged elm!

Thanks a lot I appreciate it. I was lucky enough to buy it a couple of years ago. To be honest I had my eyes on it for 2 or 3 years prior, and he finally sold it to me. It's a monster, from what I remember it was collected in Oklahoma.
