Pine Tree Υamadori Hunting Vol. 4 - Bonsai Inspiration From Nature

In episode 08 of yamadori hunting series we are going in the mountain and we hund, 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".

Amazing places, I think they are Brutia pine, which is growing widely across the Mediterranean region. beware of viper snakes under that rocks

[@MediterraneanBonsai]

Yes it is Pinus brutia! Vipers on Lesvos island are very very dagderous, you have to take care in every step close to the rocks!

[@otofait7714]

I have a question iv been trying to find out when your out and find a tree you want to dig up but the tap root is very long already, is it ok to cut the tap root? From what I thought it would kill the tree to cut the taproot??

[@MediterraneanBonsai]

Hello friend, i hope you are doing well. From my experience, if you clean all the roots and keep them close to the trunk with a bit of soil on them, everything will be OK! STAY SAFE!
