Pine Tree Yamadori Hunting - 60 Minutes of Bonsai Inspiration From Nature

In this episode of Mediterranean Bonsai we are doing a very nice walk in this amazing landscapes of Lesvos island in Greece and we hunt, find and inspiring to create bonsai from a lot of pine trees (Pinus brutia) Yamadori out there!!!
Pinus brutia, the Turkish pine, is a pine native to the eastern Mediterranean region. The bulk of its range is in Turkey, but it also extends to the East Aegean Islands of Aegean Sea, the Crimea, Iran, Georgia, Azerbaijan, northern Iraq, western Syria, Israel, Lebanon, and Cyprus. It generally occurs at low altitudes, mostly from sea level to 600 metres (2,000 ft), up to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) in the south of its range.
Pinus brutia is a medium-size tree, reaching 20-35 metres (66-115 ft) tall and with a trunk diameter of up to 1 metre (3.3 ft), exceptionally 2 metres (6.6 ft). The bark is orange-red, thick and deeply fissured at the base of the trunk, and thin and flaky in the upper crown. The leaves (needles) are in pairs, slender, mostly 10-16 cm long, bright green to slightly yellowish green.
Pinus brutia, Turkish pine, is closely related to Aleppo pine, Canary Island pine and Maritime pine, which all share many features with it. Some authors have treated it as a subspecies of Aleppo pine, but it is usually regarded as a distinct species.
Pinus brutia is a popular ornamental tree, extensively planted in parks and gardens in hot dry areas (such as southern California, Arizona, southern Nevada and west and central Texas in the United States), where its considerable heat and drought tolerance is highly valued. The subspecies eldarica is the most drought tolerant form, used in Afghanistan, Iran and more recently in Arizona, California, and Texas. In the United States Pinus brutia subsp. eldarica is referred to as "Eldarica pine", "Afghan pine" or "Mondell pine".

SUBSCRIBED!!! First video I've watched of yours. Cool content. I would love to go yamadori hunting with you someday. If I am ever in the Mediterranean and we aren't so restricted on travel and health issues of course. What are your local regulations like for collecting material? How about tourists? Is it possible to export found trees to other countries?

[@MediterraneanBonsai]

@@bakedarea3885 collecting trees in Greece it is illegal. You need permission to collect. Thanks a lot about watching! Stay Tuned :)

ขอฝากตัวเป็น fc ด้วยคนนะครับผมชอบวิวป่าสนสวยมากๆๆครับ❤❤❤❤

[@austinartist0608]

I'm all for harvesting from the wild. I believe that for every tree taken 10 saplings should be planted in its place. That will keep everybody happy and you will be doing good and not just be taking. Not just you but I'm speaking about everyone. Don't you agree?

Καλημέρα από Αττική. Ποια είναι η καλύτερη εποχή για να πάρουμε ένα πευκακι από την φύση? Πριν λίγο καιρό ξεκίνησα το χόμπι και έχω τρελαθεί. Συνέχισε την υπέροχη δουλειά που κάνεις

[@Lokithad]
