Love all your videos…but always secretly waiting for your maple videos. Some of the best work I’ve found on UA-cam. Looking forward to seeing the ramification multiply in the future! 👏🏽 🍁
Hi my friend,i really like this double trunk japanese maple,you did a great job of styling. In a few years it will become wonderful! Have a nice weekend!👍👍👍🔥
I agree. I do as well. They seem to be more interesting than single trunk maples when they are not that thick as some really old Japanese maple bonsai’s.
Gorgeous specimen. Amazing that the air layer produced such great radial root system from the get go! Congratulations. Looking forward to following up on its progress.
Thank you Carl! Yes, it seems I was quite lucky on this one. I've found out that the bigger the air layer, with more foliage, the best root system you get. Cheers!
What an interesting shape! To me, the first option for the front looks better; the second had a little too much negative space for my liking. But what do I know?
That is a great point, but I really think he would agree with me. For him there are 2 types of aesthetics. One of the eyes and ears and a second one, the important one, one of what is ethical and proper. And he was able to say all of that while in the prosperity and wellness of the first applied idea of democracy ever in the human history. So the aesthetic just and proper would be, in this case, the opinion of everyone (as long as he was an Athenian citizen and male ha ha ha). I tend to respect every opinion as it helps me a lot in a circular approach to what is beautiful, besides my own beliefs. That was a nice Sunday philosophical journey man!
@ I was thinking of the Hippias Major, in which Hippias gives examples of beauty (I guess a statistical approach), and Socrates corrects him by pointing out that Beauty, or rather, the Form of Beauty is what makes beautiful things beautiful. I love a bit of philosophy on a Sunday morning, or in my case, evening! Cheers!
@JohnThurlbeck one more season of sacrificial trunk, just to blend all of the taper pruning sites. The final apex is already bent into shape and it's kinda visible throughout the video.
@ - yes, I thought that, and it has done a great job in building the taper. I look forward to seeing how you tackle the gap you identified over the coming seasons! 👍
Thank you Fotis for this interesting video. This tree is developing very beautifully, I’m looking forward to seeing more of it in the future. I always value your tips and insights, like your comments regarding differences in the wiring of pines and maples. I also appreciate that the space between the trunks, you didn’t describe it as “negative space”, just empty space! I notised this because “negative space” is a term used more than needed in the bonsai world, as if all empty spaces within the silhouette of the tree can be described as negative spaces. Regarding the front, I prefer the new option. I think I would mostly prefer something between the two options. I understand though that the differences are very small, just a few degrees. Keep up the good work and keep providing content👌💪
The things you say are very similar to my inner thoughts! Could not have said better, what you said about negative space! And about the intermediate front as a better option, is exactly what I've been thinking since I reviewed the footage during editing. I'm impressed!

Thank you, an informative video with useful info. One big request would be could you please always tell us the part of which season you are doing the work in. Thank you.
@chrisgawkowski3908 when nothing is mentioned, it is ALWAYS within 2 weeks before the video upload. When I do longer timeline videos I always mention the month and year of the footage, as I did with this video as well. If the timing of a procedure is important, I always give a detailed explanation. So Chris, if nothing is mentioned assume it happened in the last 2 weeks! Cheers man!

It's going to take a while but it will get there! Cheers!
Another wonderful tree in good progression. Thankyou as always for sharing.
I appreciate it John! Have a great weekend!
Amazing roots!!!👍🤩👍
Fantastic double trunk!!!
Can’t wait to see more!!!🤙
Hard to have patience with maples isn't it? Thank you mate! Cheers!
Hi my friend,i really like this double trunk japanese maple,you did a great job of styling. In a few years it will become wonderful! Have a nice weekend!👍👍👍🔥
I find myself stepping towards twin trunk maples each time I work on seedlings. I have a thing for them. Thank you Roberto, you too!
I agree. I do as well. They seem to be more interesting than single trunk maples when they are not that thick as some really old Japanese maple bonsai’s.
@MartijnSinkeler there is an elegance that single trunks are hard to achieve. Thank you Martijn!
👍👍👍 Every week somethings new) Thank you, cool!
😀 thank you!!

Another very enjoyable tree styling video. So inspirational :)
Thank you my friend!
Very pleased with the acer looks great thanks my friend
Thank you Phillip, I appreciate it!
What an interesting shape! To me, the first option for the front looks better; the second had a little too much negative space for my liking. But what do I know?
Your input is as important as any, as my own. Aesthetics can be statisticaly approached so what you said is very interesting! Thank you!
@ I’m not sure Plato would agree with you 😉

I won't confront Socrates! Have a great evening!
Lovely to see what you have done with that air layer! Excellent! 👍👏
Thank you John! This is an important tree. Cheers!
@ - you are most welcome! I was wondering when you might tackle the larger trunk leader?
@JohnThurlbeck one more season of sacrificial trunk, just to blend all of the taper pruning sites. The final apex is already bent into shape and it's kinda visible throughout the video.
@ - yes, I thought that, and it has done a great job in building the taper. I look forward to seeing how you tackle the gap you identified over the coming seasons! 👍
@JohnThurlbeck you and me both!

@ brother, I’m happy to hear! 😄
Oh man 😍
The video quality was sooo good!
What camera are you using?
Thank you Fili! An older DSLR Nikon 5200 with a 50mm f1/8. Not even 4k, but the lense is good! Cheers!
Great success with this airlayer, 😮 always enjoy you videos...
Always appreciate it Nerina!
Thank you for you’re great videos. I always look forward to seeing a new one
And that means a lot to me! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your videos and works.
I appreciate it Israel! Have a great Sunday!
Lovely tree. Looking forward to see its development.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
That’s going to do a gorgeous tree mate 👊👊
I hope so! Thank you Andy!
Thank you for sharing ... I would prefer the second option 😉
Glad to know, as in a few months I have to change that! Thank you!
beautiful🥰
I appreciate it! Happy new year!
Beautiful tree🎉🎉🎉
Thank you mate! I appreciate it!
Es increíble como pasan los años cultivando los árboles.
Me gusta más el frente con el segundo tronco más retrasado.
Será un gran árbol.
Salud !
I appreciate the input Fabian! Thank you very much!
Nice...bonsai
I appreciate it! Cheers!
That is one glorious root system. Wow!
And it is better already, just did not featured it in this video. thank you!
Great Maple.
It's going to be! Thank you Michael!
Τέλειο... Αν και ερασιτέχνης (ψάρακας για την ακρίβεια!), καθαρά από αισθητικής πλευράς, θα διάλεγα κι εγώ το 2ο...
Δεν έχει σημασία η εμπειρία σε αυτή την επιλογή Κώστα! Σε ευχαριστώ!
Hello mate, can i ask where are you located?
Greece. Up in the mountains. Cheers!
👍👌🙂
This work is dangerous 😮
The standard way to prune maples is before the leaves fall ✂️
Pruning after the leaves have fallen can lead to the risk of the tree dying due to the sap not stopping 🍂
If you want to prune after the leaves have fallen, it is said that cutting the roots at the same time will stop the sap ✂️
この作業は危険です😮
もみじの剪定は落葉前が定石です✂️
落葉後の剪定は樹液が止まらず枯れる危険性があります🍂
もし、落葉後に剪定したいなら同時に根を切ると樹液が止まるとされています✂️
Excellent info mate! Thank you for that!

@@ArkefthosBonsai Many thanks for clarifying. Have a great Christmas ⛄
@chrisgawkowski3908 you too!
Perché quei tronchi???
Nothing bonsai related. Stacking wood for the fire place until my healing paste dries. Cheers!
be au ti ful
I appreciate it Roland! Have a great week!
