Finally my first Myrica Ruba Fruit!

 Looks like I'll be able to taste my very 1st Myrica Rubra fruit this year. After 2years from when I got it. the tree has produced it's 1st crop for me. It's been in the greenhouse most of it's life with me. It does fine in the unheated greenhouse during the winter and seems to be an early crop fruit. This photo was taken today 6/24/21.


The taste of it reminds of like a pickled gooseberry plum. It has a tart flavor with a slight bit of that pickled fruit taste. Which is very popular in the Asian snack industry. It might not be for everyone though. I do like it.

Let's go on a Portland Bonsai Buying Trip @ Lee Cheatle's

 In this video. We did a weekend trip to Portland to eat shop and hangout for a day. I was fortunate enough to stop by Lee Cheatle's place to buy some bonsai from him. What a treat that was.




How to Yamadori and Collect Bonsai in the forest of the Pacific Northwest

 In this video I head to the forest of the Pacific Northwest with a couple of friends to yamadori and collect a few trees for life as Bonsai.  

It was a great adventure to finally be out and about after being locked up inside for over a year.
