At 11 years of age, it's time for this tree to get a ceramic pot and start looking like a proper bonsai tree. Thank you for your time! Visit my instagram at: / arkefthos_bonsai #bonsai #taxodium #arkefthos #repotting

Hi my friend,i think that this taxodium has excellent potential because you have done a great job in these years to thicken the trunk....now little by little you will have to build the branching and i'm sure that you will be able to do it very well. Have a nice weekend my friend!👏👏👏
@ArkefthosBonsai4 ай бұрын
Thank you Roberto! Building the branches in this is a bit stressing to be honest. Unfortunately I don't have experience with the species in their natural environment and I would really love to make a tree that looks natural, like in the south east US. I'll try though. Cheers!

@@ArkefthosBonsai i agree with you,this species is difficult to adapt to classic bonsai styles so it's better to observe how it grows in nature. Cheers!

Thank you! The latest advice I got from experienced people in south east US is that you should be growing them half submerged in water. I tried it and they have taken off in an unbelievable way. Cheers!

I love your videos and your trees and did learn a great deal out of it. I just wonder why you keep the circling root(s?) around the trunk in the front of this tree. Don’t you want to get rid of it in the future? Not sure if it’s wrapped around the trunk or just going down in the soil.
@ArkefthosBonsai4 ай бұрын
Thank you Martijn, very much! I guess you mean the thick root going a third around the trunk. That is a root. I failed to remove early in the tree's life and 3 years later in the next repot, it was already quite thick and fused to the trunk. I decided to address it later. But as the years passed by the root got even more fused and now it's part of the trunk. By now, I have accepted this as a feature, that in fact I've placed exactly in the front of the tree. There are roots coming out of it, growing perfectly radially out, so now it is part of the nebari. I think it will bkend in nicely eventually. Cheers!

I agree with you Edwin, but since I do have a good climate for it, it doesn't hurt. Growing different genus is addicting. Plus it is good exercise. Studying how to do it justice and replicate an old growth Taxodium is nice practice. Cheers!

@ArkefthosBonsai4 ай бұрын
Well said! Still, there is something that the Japanese have found in their 300 years of practicing the art, that is very appealing. Classic styles are so well studied and perfected that it is very hard to successfuly deviate them. Cheers!
