Japanese Black Pine 11 Years Evolution, Ready for Exhibition? - Arkefthos Bonsai

[@alexandros1973]

This work is very interesting! It is fascinating following the progress of this tree for so many years. This tree has gone a long way in 10 years and the result is very impressive. Thank you Fotis for sharing, I’m inspired by your work. I also love the music (again)!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you my friend! I'm really glad with how people respond to evolution videos. Even though it's a lot of work I'll keep making them. Have a safe flight!

[@alexandros1973]

@ this extra work, for documenting the progress of the trees, sets you apart from most other bonsai KZbinrs. Both because it is interesting and educational and because it shows your mastery. Thank you, I did have a good flight, yesterday!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

@alexandros1973 oh I'm sorry for that!

Great progression, and very impressive nebari. Thanks!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you Eric! Glad you like the nebari, it's the most prominent feature of the tree!

[@trybonsai]

Saying the progression of your pine is amazing, does not do it justice at all..... Really fantastic work my friend and happy Sunday to you 🎉🎉

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you mate! I appreciate it! You too!

Hi, my friend, great timeline and final interventions. That will become a lovely tree! 👍👏

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you John! It makes me happy that you liked the format and the tree!

[@definetlynotacomment1184]

Really nice progression! Good luck with the exhebition .

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you very much! There is no exhibition, it is just practice for a hypothetical situation. Making me better at predicting timelines. Cheers!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Really interesting to hear your thought process as to why this is not yet ready. I think it is brilliant but then I don't have your experience of this quality of Black Pine. great video

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you Xavier! They never get perfect and that's the magic of this art!

[@Chuy007GDL]

Great job on the Japanese Black Pine! Looks amazing!..

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you mate! Have a great weekend!

[@Heisennnnberg000]

WOW! What a transformation

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

That's the reaction I was hoping for! Thank you!

[@Heisennnnberg000]

@@ArkefthosBonsai is incredible. The sacrifice branch did his job and you did the rest!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

@Heisennnnberg000 did a bit more than necessary a d I have to deal with a bit inverse taper, but with time, everything will be ok!

[@andrewclack4881]

Glorious tree!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you Andrew! Have a great Sunday!

[@WoodcrestBonsai]

Great video! The time-lapse tells such a compelling story. I hoping to do similar videos on my trees as they develop but since I've only had my channel for a year it means I only have ten more to go!

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you! Yes these progression videos are interesting but demanding. Eventually we'll get there, just remember to keep video records! Cheers!

[@masciadrigianluca4156]

Great job! 👏

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you Luca! Have a great weekend!

[@treewithsoul]

Wonderfull tree! 👏

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Weird tree but if you develop it from raw material for more than a decade, it becomes beautiful to your eyes. Thank you Fili!

Ha ha ha oh man I really wish you have a great weekend, not just a Friday! Cheers!

[@darkinhoo2]

well done fotis! I'm still waiting for my cherry blossom painting for display :P

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you man! Have not forgotten you, in fact a few days ago I thought of that precisely and started thinking of alternative materials, better materials and I think I might end up with oils on raw linen for those display scrolls. It would look better, last way longer and would be higher quality. So I'll get to it this winter, I promise! Thank you!

[@bonsai_life_style]

Good job. When did you take sacrificial branch off ? In spring time ?

[@ArkefthosBonsai]

Thank you! It was April. Of course the best time to do so is early June (early summer) but I was already dealing with severe inverse taper due to my need to thicken the bottom part, so I went earlier.

[@brucedeacon28]

Thank you Bruce, have a great weekend!
