Fagus raft poted on to Jan Culek's slab. Jan did a excellent job with this slab which fit the tree perfectly.

Beautiful composition and amazing transformation indeed! I saw some fungi on one of the tree. Do you keep them on, or intend to get rid of? How would you eliminate them? Thank you!
@Torabonsaischool3 жыл бұрын
I kept them for a year as atraction, but now I removed them, simply wit a brush. This kind of fungi don't harm the tree, since they grow only on dead wood. Thanks for watching!

The power of more trunks together. The raft looks absolutely magic. Thank you for sharing. Is this the mix you are usually use as a substrat for groups (forests, clumps, rafts)?
@Torabonsaischool4 жыл бұрын
The substrate I use depends on species of the trees and not on the style ...

Why did you leave the tree in such poor soil? I saw you added some proper better draining substrate but you didn’t replace the old what looks like potting soil. I’ve always been taught to bare root deciduous trees. Second question, why didn’t you use keto (Pete muck) to build up the sides and keep the soil from washing away? I saw you used just sphagnum moss and then green moss on top of that. Amazing tree. My favorite I’ve seen in your collection.
@Torabonsaischool4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Well, there is no rule one can applay on all trees. I found Fagus species a little particular among deciduous trees. It doesn't tolerate well a bare-rooting. (Like Acers and many others does) It needs a 'stronger' substrate for a healthy growth. I cut almost a half of nicely developed rot cake (which is risky if you don't know what are you doing) and clean it. And as you noticed I took care of a good drenage. And that is a key! Also the root-cake itself has a good drenage and a lot of oxigen in it. I didn't use keto, because there was no need to. In this case the sphagnum moss will do just fine and no soil will be washed away. And also the oxigen can penetrate the substrate more easily. I use keto when I must build the stopping edge, but in this case the slab has a potting hole and there is no need to do that. I hope I answer all your questions, keep watching my channel! :-)

@@Torabonsaischool I was wondering the same thing as Chris. Could I clarify what you mean by "It needs a 'stronger' substrate for a healthy growth". Do you mean that "beech needs a stronger root mass left for healthy growth (compared to certain other deciduous tree species)" or do you mean that "beech needs a stronger substrate, as in more organic in the soil (substrate) mix"? Also: Do you intend to gradually reduce the root mass in subsequent repottings and replace organic soil with more classic bonsai soil components and/or sit the raft lower down to the slab? Incredible tree. Also my favourite that I've seen from your collection. Thank you.
@Torabonsaischool4 жыл бұрын
Hi Ralph! With 'stronger substrate' I mean more organic stuff in the substrate mix. Maybe is just the video, but in reality also now in the root mass is a lot of pumice and other anorganic particles, so there is more than enough oxigen and no danger for root-rot. There is no or very little room for further lowering the root mass, because some of the trunks in this raft are reaching deep down. It is hard to explain with my poor English but I hope that you know what I mean. Thanks for watching my channel!

Yes, of course. Good drenage is a basic for healthy trees ...
