Ryan Neil, Oregon Bonsai artist | Oregon Field Guide

After a traditional apprenticeship in Japan, Oregon bonsai professional Ryan Neil is capturing the West's rugged landscape in bonsai form. We follow one tree over the course of a year, as well as venture into the wilderness with Ryan to see nature through his eyes.

Oregon Public Broadcasting aims to elevate and amplify the community, connect Oregon and its neighbors, and illuminate a wider world through stories.

Did you really write to your mentor 23 times before he responded?
I think that is awesome.
On both of your parts.
I admire that kind of dedication.
Well done to each and all.

It’s been a privilege seeing not only Ryan’s trees and garden evolve, but also witnessing the evolution of a new branch(pun intended) of a craft develop - With Mirai taking the torch from people like Dan Robinson, David Crust and Randy Knight and showing us America’s take on this art form.
I don’t imagine a lot of people understood what Ryan really meant when talking about the American Bonsai aesthetic 8 years ago. And yet today it’s all clear.

I enjoyed looking at this video. At one time I thought that I might like trying to do bonsai too but my interest came much later in life when other events were forming me. Now I don't have the luxury of space to work on these wonders but maybe I should try to find something I like and see if I can continue to grow it very slowly to represent my passing years. Thank you for this presentation.

Hi, for your information… Bonsai culture started by Indian ancient people to avail medicine plant near their homes to treat sick peoples, so it’s Indian culture

For u to go back to north america and not change bonsai here would be a failure. Big words, but u ryan without a doubt in anyones mind 100 percent have already started to accomplish that goal if not have already. And u kno if kimura seen what u have done here so far i think hed be proud. Props to u and the mirai team for all the work u guys put in. We need all the inspiration we can get . 🦴👁 on !
