Nice relaxing tour Mike. I saw a Burr Oak I sent you, don't worry it will pick up the next couple years. The Osage Orange are lookin' good. I trimmed the thorns off before I sent them but it was only a matter of time before you found out 🤣 I think they are typically pronounced "Oh sage or Oh sayj" named after the Osage Nation Native American tribe who made bows from the branches. Also a cool fact, the thorns of this tree apparently were the main inspiration for barbed wire. And just fyi, it is a temperate tree, very cold hardy to zone 4 and not an actual orange.

That's a fun fact I didn't know! So they're named after the Osage nation? Also good to know they're cold hardy. I was wondering about that since they're native to middle-southern US. So far I think they're really cool trees!

@@BonsaiBoise Yeah after Nigel Saunders started a forest and said how well they seemed to respond to bonsai culture, I decided to start some of my own from a local fruiting tree. Not surprised they're good for bonsai since they happen to be in the same Family as Ficus.

Great collection of trees! I have to caution you about the Sweet Gum!!! The sticky balls they produce are abundant!!!! And that Virginia Creeper.....????? That is a weed that grows up every single tree in my yard! And every single tree along the highway that isn't already occupied by the kudzu or poison ivy!! We end up with MANY bags of sticky balls to rake up and haul away. I absolutely hate those trees. The VC just blows my mind that you would bonsai that, LOL Maybe it's not such a wild idea.

@@lisawagner6076 Thank you! the sweet gum is a new one to me, but the Virginia creeper I am super careful with. One year it grew down to the ground and ended up rooting, then starting popping up all over the place. Super invasive! So I keep a close eye on it now. I'll keep an eye for those sticky balls on the sweet gum too.

@@BonsaiNorthwest Thanks! It's always tempting to do some pruning right about now, but you made good points in your recent video about why it's a bad idea this late into summer.

Mike at 27:07 the oak in the blue pot looks kind of like a Bur Oak to me. If so, is that one I sent you this spring or did you have that before?

I think that particular one was sent to me from the Arbor Day foundation. It kind of shot straight up and then stopped. Lol
