  • I've gotten lots of questions, the past 2 years, about my technique of approach grafting and since now is a great time to graft pines this way, I made this video explaining everything in detail. Thank you for your time!

    Thank you for addressing the cutting of the donor material as being unnecessary and possibly risky. I said the same idea in my video on thread grafting Japanese maples. I agree fully, that there is much more risk of damage or at minimum slowing down the growing shoot, which in turn will cause a slower healing process.
    My thread graft has quickly thickened in half a growing season to be larger than some of the preexisting branches.
    Bravo! 👏🏽

    • @ArkefthosBonsai

    • @ArkefthosBonsai

      Yes, hair is gone Samuel! Too hot here for long hair.... Actually, digging out trees from the wild, especially a natura 2000 protected forest like the one that starts above the house, is prohibited in Greece and I totally agree and respect this. But still, I've got whatever I've planted in the ground since 2010, plus whatever tree has popped out naturally in the garden as yamadori.... Cheers mate!

    Thank you for sharing your works. great and very informative video. I want to ask some thing. Your graftting material is not center of the main trunk so the branch grows edge of the trunk. will it be a problem in the future?
    Thanks

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  27 днів тому

      Excellent question! No, it won't be. As the trees thicken, everything becomes fused more and more naturally and the rough pine bark will hide all the scars. In 4 - 5 years, this will look like a natural change in direction with a bit of twist as well. Cheers!

    Why not bury the Japanese pine in the ground, instead of leaving it in the pot?

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  27 днів тому

      Because I'm still going to develop a bonsai tree from it, after I remove it from the graft. I've already worked the root system, spread it radially, this spring and I'll make a tree from all the other buds. Cheers John!
