Urban Yamadori Extraction

Yamadori is typically thought of in the context of collecting trees from wild environments, but one of the most untapped resources for collected trees exists within the urban environment.

When digging urban yamadori, we have to consider the nuances of removing a tree out of its soil, maximizing our opportunity for success, and how to tackle specific limitations that apply to the extraction process.

In this stream, we dig out a Pieris japonica from Mirai's landscape. Learn how we handle the pruning of a full year's growth cycle, severing of the roots, reduction of the root ball, and how we box the tree. Build your skills, and tap into this very abundant resource accessible to many in the urban landscape.
