Re: yamadori
Wow. After watching that, I'm not convinced that the tiny but of green he left connects to the tiny bit of roots he left. Until I see some results, I'm assuming that tree has passed on to the next world.
Seems more like an argument for starting with good material and then working it carefully and cautiously.

Will love to see it after 12 months to be convinced
