    Thank you for being one of the better bonsai channels. I see so many people chopping up trees that look terrible and call it bonsai.

      You are very welcome! Well, I might have 2 or 3 trees that might be called bonsai... 😁 Thank you Yote!

      Yes... I've been following the European weather for sometime now. This year is hell for you. Even worse for the Portuguese. But for once, it's been a great summer for us in Greece so far. One of the best. Last year was hell, with heatwaves from mid May. Hang in there....

    Looking great. I´m sure it will be a fantastic shohin some day. I wish i could groove this species, but my garden don´t get enough sun.

      I don't know about fantastic but it's going to look good. Some backbudding on the lower branches do I can push them inwards and some fine wiring... Not enough sun screams maples though!

      Advantages and disadvantages... Here my landscape trees are not tall enough yet so I'm struggling to find shade for recent transplants and sensitive plants in the summer. Got to build shade structures. Cheers!

      Thank you! I appreciate it. It doesn't look like much, I couldn't find the right angles during shooting the video. Up close, looks much better.

    Hinoki definitely make me nervous, so temperamental. Hopefully that one has a long life ahead of it.

      Yes it is. And the end result not do rewarding, to my eyes...

    Do you have pigeon racing pigeon? I hear them calling in the background :)

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  9 месяцев назад

      Ha ha yes! Good ear! That season the pigeons fought the swallows for the nest below the roof and unfortunately won. It was a painfully sounding summer... Luckily no pigeons this season...

    Very nice, looking good.. Is it a type of juniper?

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you Graham! This Chamaecyparis obtusa. You might have hears of it as false cypress, or hinoki in Japanese. It is closely related to junipers or cypresses. You can graft it onto juniper or cypress successfully. Cheers!

    How's this tree doing? This was the first video of yours I watched in the summer of last year and I just watched it again. I'm curious to see how it's been doing.

      Hello Paul! Tree is fine. It looks exactly as in the end of the video. Nothing changed. You will see it relatively soon since it's going to be reported in a few weeks. Cheers!

      @@ArkefthosBonsai Awesome, thanks. They are VERY slow growers. I have a small one as well I'll be styling in the spring. Decided to brush up on my Hinoki lessons by watching your video (and a few other videos from other creators). Take care!

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Год назад +2

      They are slow, need tons of patience. An advice, keep more foliage than you need, because during wiring you are going to lose some and some will wither after wiring. Otherwise relatively simple!

    beautiful tree, a question the tips that look brown are totally normal? I have one the same and it looks exactly like yours, it still has a very green color but some tips of the leaves are brown, should I be worried or is it normal? I hope you can answer my question, friend.

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Год назад +1

      Thank you Jafet! If the color of the rest of the tree is good, then you are OK. Brown tips are dead, won't grow, but the tree will backbud and continue grow. Cheers!
