Collecting Australian Native Yamadori For Bonsai!

In this video, I am joined by Grant from the Backyard Bonsai Blokes podcast and Yarra Valley Bonsai Society, as we collect native Kunzea yamadori from his property. We talk about the techniques and skills involved to safely dig native species, preparing the trees while they're still in the ground, as well as the after care required to give the trees the best chance of survival. *Please note: This was undertaken on private property, with the owners permission, with a species that local authorities have asked to be cleared from the area. Always check legality and have permission before digging native material.
