Basic structural work on this Carpinus orientalis yamadori I dug out this past spring, as a twin trunk (Sokan) - raft (Ikadabuki) style. Thank you for your time!

I enjoyed seeing how you tried to visualize the future tree, which I imagine is hard given the bridge between the two trunks. That said, I look forward to seeing the future development of what will be a great-looking tree! 👌
Yes it is kinda hard, I have some old Japanese bonsai in mind as references, but still this is one of my favorites! Thank you John!
Another future masterpiece
You really think that? Thank you mate!
I collected a twin trunk NA Hornbeam that I am very excited about this spring. It was two separate trunks, each with great nebari started. The nebari over lap and fused. Hopefully it will be something great in 10 years.
Sounds kinda similar to mine. They grow fast, it will be great sooner than 10 years! Good luck!
Great video and I hope you are enjoying Christmas 🌲 All the best for 2023. God bless, Xav
Bless you Xavier!
非常棒的取捨，好設計將來可期。
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Betul² keren
Thank you!
Great potential has this tree. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Abraços de Portugal
Hello Filipe! I've been to Portugal in 2014! From Lisbon to Tavira and back and then from Porto to Lisbon! Very beautiful! Cheers!
Que buen material para trabajar.
Me llamó la atención que no hayas colocado hacia adelante el ápice del árbol más chico.
Maravilloso paisaje.
Saludos desde Argentina.
Salud.
Thank you Fabian. Tha apex is not made yet. It will take probably 3 years before this tree has a basic apex. Patience!
Σέ λίγα χρόνια θα είναι 👍
Συμφωνώ απόλυτα! Σε ευχαριστώ.
Stunning tree and such a beautiful part of the world you live in, your videos are so artistic and thoroughly watchable.
Don't suppose you can educate me and let me know what bird that was singing throughout the video?
Thank you Bob, I really appreciate your words! I'm afraid I have no idea about bird species, I just try tobrecord them with directional microphone and get rid of urban sounds. If you have knowledge about bird songs please let me know. I live in Southern Greece, on 900 m (2600ft) elevation. Any clue what kind of bird might be? Cheers!
Looks great, did you not think about air laying it so you could have made another beautiful bonsai tree? Keep up your good work and videos 👍🏼
Thank you Harry! I explained in the captions - subtitles that hornbeams are hard to root, especially at this age of this trunk. I have rooted young strong shoots before but this is 20 year old wood, plus hornbeams have live veins and dead parts, so it won't give a symmetrical nebari. Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai hello, sorry I didn’t have the subtitles on. Take care and stay safe, text again very soon 👍🏼
Nothing to be sorry about. It's just fun! Thank you!
That pot is absolutely beautiful! Do you know who made it?
No idea Simon. It's Chinese, I bought it from Bonsai Zentrum in Germany 2 years ago. I like it to but for now it is just an oversized training pot for this hornbeam. Cheers!
Salve caro. Gran bel esemplare, un tronco sinuoso fantastico, sicuramente yamadori vero? Quanti anni avrà? . Qui in Sicilia non arriva più il freddo, ho il frassino maggiore ( tre piante) ancora con le foglie verdissime, la Robinia idem, ti lascio immaginare la Roverella. Oggi massima 18°
Thank you Giovanni! I explain everything in the captions. It's about 20 - 25 years old, yamadori from my garden, which I did not plant, rather self seeded. Yes I understand the struggle. I too have trees with leaves still on, red but none have fallen. Today was warm here was well, around 15 deg. Cheers!
Πέρα από τα bonsai θαυμάζω το μέρος που βρίσκεσαι
Σε ευχαριστώ Νίκο! Δεν είναι και Κρήτη αλλά κάτι κάνει... Χρόνια πολλά!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ υγεία εύχομαι σ' εσένα, την οικογένειά σου αλλά και στα δεντράκια σου, χρόνια πολλά
Is this 1 tree under the soil or is it actually 2 seperate trees? Also stupid question, is there a way to slow the captions down? I have to keep pausing the video to read them. I'm a very slow reader though.
Your work is looking amazing and I cannot wait to follow along with it's journey. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I will slow down the captions for the next ones. This actually one tree. There is a beautiful bridge that connects them, quite visible in the last, close up shots I did in the end of the video. In a year and a half, the next repotting, the soil will drop down and this bridge will be very visible. Thank you!
Hi my friend!...It's beautiful with that double raft trunk! It will become wonderful! I didn't know that pumice stone isn't the best for fall color...why? What is the best substrate for colors? I never told you but i follow you from Tuscany,italy
Hello! I love Umbria, been through there several times! I actually don't have any data to support that pumice does not produce good fall color. On fact this tree has given me excellent bright yellow in pure pumice. And still looks good and developing well. Just removed the wires 2 weeks ago. Cheers!
Umbria is very beautiful for landscapes, spirit and...cuisine! My only time in Greece was many years ago to Corfù...but i would like to go back sometime! Thanks, really beautiful plant...se you soon!@@ArkefthosBonsai
Nicely done. This reminds me of my cork oak that I'm air-layering.
Have you considered air-layering trees in the forest, then come back and cut them when they're ready?
I wish this carpinus could get an interesting bark like a cork oak. That is the only thing missing from this species. Well, yes I've thought about it, unfortunately most of the genus up in the forest are hard or impossible to air layer (like this hornbeam). Perhaps the crataegus we have, but still I haven't gotten around that. Do you have any images of the oak? Maybe Instagram?
@@ArkefthosBonsai I air-layered this tree once before. This is the second time. The trunk is too straight, that's why I'd like to trim it down.

Really nice! Previous time, was it successful?
@@ArkefthosBonsai At the previous time, although it rooted nicely, I didn't have the patience and decided to repot it during the hottest weeks of central California summer. As a result, it died by the end of the summer. Lesson learned.
This time, I will repot it during spring to give it a better chance of surviving. I learned that the privet trees are stronger and can survive repotting during summer.
It has happened to me with Quercus pubescense, exactly the same, although it survived for 6 months. But rooting Quercus is quite difficult. I wish you luck! Just a thought, I repot my oaks in October, probably late October for California, if you want to try it. They respond better when they are in leaf, with cool days ahead instead of brutal summer days. Cheers!
