This is really a great tutorial. In my first days getting started with bonsai, I bought a bunch of seeds and planted them up, and now I have about 30 seedlings in their first year. Later I found a handful of comments saying not to bother with seed growing bonsai; but this video really encouraged me to keep going with them. It might be a decade or two before they look like much, but the complete control over the development process you demonstrated is really exciting and you clearly showed how to take the tree from a tiny sapling to a majestic work of art. Thank you!

[invivobonsai]

This is a great video! I hope it helps more people learn about this process.

My philosophy is for every yamadori, I find, I should start a bonsai from seed as well. It's important to get bonsai from multiple sources so the generations after us will have plenty to enjoy still!

Excellent demonstration / explanation.
