- 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!

I enjoyed the drone footage! ☮
It's nice to see drone footage every now and then, as the seasons change, the colors change! Thank you!
Great video and explanation as always Fotis, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You're most welcome Wesley!
Very interesting view of the grafting great video thanks my friend
I truly appreciate it Phillip!
Very we’ll explained thank you.
Thank you Joe! I appreciate it!
Beautiful video well explained
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏
You're welcome! Cheers!
Great job 👍 I would like to try grafting using this technique one day.🤗
Thank you! It is an easy way to graft but requires patience! Cheers!
Great Job and you got a cute little acer monspessulanum seedling right next to the sion plant...
Cool identification David! In fact I have hundreds of them, everywhere, I pot several of them each spring and still they are everywhere! Thank you!
Well done! Can’t wait for the chop in. Few years.
Thank you Dave! Even though some grafts might be ready in a few months, the chop and the digging might take 2 years or more. Thank you!
good job again 👍
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Thank you my friend for sharing your interesting job! The technique you use for the grafts is very clean and correct! Very compliments!👍👍👍👍
Glad you approve Roberto! I truly appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing your technique. I look forward to seeing the future results. I also thought that the closing shots of the garden and beyond looked wonderful!👌
Thank you John! Everything can look awesome from a drone's point of view! Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai - love the drone shots! One day it would be great to see it all at first hand! 👍
@JohnThurlbeck do you plan on visiting Greece?
@@ArkefthosBonsai - potentially next year! This year I’m buying a new home between now and October and heading to a wedding/holiday in Oz in November. However, I would love to visit at some point! 👍
@JohnThurlbeck sounds like exciting times for you! I'm glad!
Thank you for this very interesting and informative video 👌🙏
The filming and editing are fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the opening and closing shots. You used to have drone footages in your videos often but not lately. I am happy they are back!
You and me are probably the only ones enjoying the drone shots ha ha ha! Thank you Alex!
Thank you ) Good luck 🤞
Thank you for your wish!
@@ArkefthosBonsai thank you for the inspiration
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! 👏🏽
Definitely unnecessary for thread grafting as well! I'll check the video, I must have missed it. Have a great Sunday!
@@ArkefthosBonsai thank you for the inspiring content and trees!
@acer_p_bonsai cheers!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge and explanation, making it so easy to follow and try 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Please tell me your name so I can call you properly! You think you can apply that in tropical trees, besides your black pines?
@@ArkefthosBonsai Hi Banner is my stage name lol...and yes you can...they use needle grafting on tropical trees..
Ok Banner! Did not know that, sounds interesting!
@@ArkefthosBonsai it is but your technique can be applied to tropical trees
Good to know, even though I can't grow them here
👍👌
👌 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video, are you planning on doing a full garden tour video? I'd love to see it!
Thank you! The landscape part is still young, not mature enough to make an impact, but the bonsai display part is almost there. Maybe in mid November when the colors are crazy. Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai I think we can all appreciate a "work in progress". I would be interested to see the garden regardless of maturity.
Either way, I look forward to your videos.
@TheMightyYak it will be done then!
That is crazy. Great lesson as usual.
Love your artistic work and thoughts, gonna follow this with keen eyes,
Was that a wild tortoise?
👊👊
Thanks man! Yes it is wild, I have more than 10 this year working all day through the garden eating sedums, my melon and watermelon leaves, maple leaves etc. I usually had 4 or 5 but this year they exploded. Love them! Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai they are so cool I love it 👊👊
You cut your hair!? Great video. Very informative as always. Even though you have so many trees, having all that mountain side would be so enticing for yamadori adventures.
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!
I respect it as well. Look forward to the next one.
@samuelmula5570 thank you Samuel!
❤🐢❤
I've got more than 10 working around the garden this year. So much fun! Thank you Mikel!
Thanks a lot for sharing this video and your expertise! It was really helpful and inspiring. Quick question: what kind of healing paste do you use?
Thank you Mark! It's an Italian I find easily here in Greece. You can search for it on Google with 'Zapi Fitobalsam" . It's a grafting and healing paste. Cheers!
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
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!
Πολύ λεπτομερής εργασία. Καλή επιτυχία!
Σφενδάμι τρίφιδο ειναι το φυντανάκι διπλα?
Σε ευχαριστώ Αλεξάνδρα! Είναι Acer monspensulanum, ενδημικό εδώ. Κάθε χρόνο βγαίνουν εκατοντάδες. Καλό βράδυ!
Why not bury the Japanese pine in the ground, instead of leaving it in the pot?
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!
