Time to fit this tree I've been growing since 2013, into a proper bonsai pot!
Thank you for your time!

love this kinda new narration style type of your videos💪 happy growing😊
Glad you like this format Christian! Have a great day!
Fotis a big thank YOU for your time and sharing this knowledge, taking the time to go into details about how why and when you have done things is great for us trying to learn. Narrating has allowed me to watch while you're doing (rather than reading and rewinding :) while listening so loving that you have done this, keep up the great work!
I've got you Wesley! Thank you for your kind words!
The way you talk/describe the progress of your Arakawa is awesome! You definitely have a vision of what you want to achieve with time. Bonsai has slowly made me appreciate the long journey that is bonsai. It has definitely made me a better person overall!
I look forward to updates in the future! You have true skill, friend!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your warm words, they are truly appreciated! Have a great week!
Really nice tree mate
Pot really suits it fella. Good luck with the root grafting
👊👊
Glad you like it! Cheers!
I appreciate all the additional high performance commentary in this video! I am very inspired to put some of my maples in the ground!
Thank you for your feedback! There is no other technique to develop nice trees than growing in the ground properly. Cheers!
@ArkefthosBonsai our Ontario, Canada winters can be tough on some Japanese maples so I have typically been sheltering them in my unheated garage over winter. I can still do this if I put the trees in the ground in grow bags or baskets but could mean a new annual tradition of transplanting.
@hyperionhelios190 I don't know how much time you can spend on these, but the time window of transplanting maples is quite wide. For good health, maples need a 60 day period of dormancy. After that you can start repotting and working the roots. Basically from February on and until you see open leaves, you can work on them, as long as you protect worked trees from very low temperatures, like 5 deg below freezing and lower. Plus, trees in the ground might need work every 4 years or so.
Love watching your videos, so helpful and so much better now with you speaking. Keep up the great work, thank you.
Thank you Harvey! I appreciate your feedback mate!
I very like this arakawa maple and you did a great job my friend. It's also beautiful the pot. Very compliments 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Roberto! They fit nicely! Have a great day!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Have a nice day you too!
Thank you for another great video. I love the tree and your work on it 👌
Σε ευχαριστώ!
Wow that is some amazing bark and trunk. Looks beautiful :-) Thank you so much for sharing.
You're welcome! I appreciate the feedback! Cheers!
The tree and pot compliment each other beautifully! I hope you will show what it looks like after its leaves have come out.
Thank you Susan! I'm thinking of doing an early summer pruning and striking cuttings video in June. So you might! Cheers!

Amazing development since only 2013.
It was happy in the ground and thickened fast! Καλημέρα!
Beautiful tree! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Beautiful tree and nice work
Thank you mate! Cheers!
amazing video, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Thank you Mohamed! Have a great Sunday! Cheers!
Such a great video! Your imagery and descriptions of your journey with this tree were both fantastic. I would love to work on a bonsai at your place one day. Truly beautiful. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you Dave for the beautiful words! Have you ever been in Greece?
@@ArkefthosBonsai my daughter has, but not me. She’s d love to someday!
@DavesBonsai thank you Dave! Greece is expecting you! Cheers!
Pot & plant match perfectly. Great video....thank you
I'm glad you like it Nerina! Cheers!
Great video, thank you for sharing the lessons you’ve learned over the years of working on this tree. 🙏🏽
I’m grateful to be able to learn from dedicated bonsai artists like you, so I can avoid the same problems. (I have plenty of my own to fix as it is 😅😂)
I’m looking forward to rooting some more rough bark Japanese maples this year! 🪴 🍁
Do you have a favorite tree in your garden?
Thank you! Very beautiful comment! Good luck with your trees! Cuttings of Arakawa are quite an exciting challenge but with a great reward! Yes, I do have one tree that slightly steps ahead others, it's the big Cedrus atlantica with multiple trunks. Perhaps because it's so unique.... Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai ahh yes, I can understand that choice. 👏🏽
😉
No conocía el término "nemawashi". Siempre se aprende algo nuevo.
El arakawa tiene mucho carácter en su corteza. Será un gran árbol.
Salud.
🙇♂️
Thank you Fabian! I've done a couple of videos about nemawashi in the past. Pretty important! Have a great morning!
@@ArkefthosBonsai 🙇♂️
I like the new way you present your work. I also think that you live in a really beautiful place. May I ask where that is? Greetings Pablo
Thank you Pablo! I appreciate the feedback! I love in southern mainland Greece. Arcadia! 900m elevation. Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsaithanks 👍
👍👍
Thank you mate!
Still watching the video! But what would you have done, the nemawasi thing, cut the roots around the tree with a spade? or dig it up completely?
Excellent question! Sometimes I dig them out completely, lift them, check them and maybe even move them, sometimes just dig around the tree and leave it there. I have a huge pine growing in the garden and as I'm preparing it for digging next year, I will just dig around it, cutting everything that spreads out but leave the tap root alone, until it's time for a pot. Cheers!
Πολύ καλό ξεκίνημα για το δέντρο. 2 προσπάθειες μεταμόσχευσης ριζών απέτυχαν για μένα και το άφησα ήσυχο. Θα πάρω το δέντρο μου όπως είναι, γιατί είναι αρκετά δύστροπο στη γλάστρα.
Ίσως μια μικρή συμβουλή για την υγεία του δέντρου
Δεν ξέρω πώς είναι η ποιότητα του νερού, εδώ το νερό είναι πολύ σκληρό και έχει πολλά άλατα, αλλά από τότε που προσθέτω 30% Kanuma στο υπόστρωμα, η υγεία και η ζωτικότητα είναι πολύ καλύτερη. Δεν έχω δει κανένα θάνατο κλαδιών στο Arakawa μου που φυτεύτηκε σε εξωτερικό χώρο, σε αντίθεση με το δέντρο στη γλάστρα, αλλά όπως είπα, δεν έχω άλλα προβλήματα από τότε που άρχισα να χρησιμοποιώ Kanuma.
Σε ευχαριστώ! Εδώ φτιάχνω ένα σύστημα επεξεργασίας νερού πριν ποτίζω κάθε φορά. Θα έχω τις τέλειες συνθήκες και παράλληλα λίπανση οπότε θέλω. Και το νερό μου εδώ είναι από βρόχινο οπότε δεν έχω πολλά θέματα. Καλή δύναμη με το δικό σου!
Greetings from Bulgaria!
Really nice work👍
How long it takes to see the rough bark on Arakawa?
Thank you Svetlin! Branches start showing rough bark from 4 years old but in 2 to 3 years they get completely covered. It's relatively fast, nice cultivar! Have a great Sunday!
👍👌
Thank you Bruce! Have a nice Sunday!
I have to look for a 'Arakawa' for myself. but shat is the substrate you plant in, is it pure perlite, or something else?
Look for a non grafted tree, that's where the value lies Kenneth! I usually write the mix I'm using in the captions - subtitles, it was 50% zeolite, 30% perlite and about 10% organic aggricates. Cheers!
What substrate do I use in this transplant, zeolite and perlite? thanks from Argentina
I wrote it in the captions - subtitles. It was 50% zeolite, 30% perlite and about 10% organic aggricates. Cheers Sergio!
Sorry i didn't see it, thank you
Τι χώμα χρησιμοποιείς για τα δέντρα σου;
Κυρίως διάφορες αναλογίες ζεόλιθου, περλίτη, ελαφρόπετρα και οργανικού χώματος από το δάσος, ανάλογα το είδος.
O shit he speaks
Indeed! Though you might have lost an episode! This was February news! Cheers!
