Absolutely amazing.... Congratulations on your success my friend, and I wish you even greater success in the future... Great video, thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi my friend,i'm happy that your grafts were 100% successful but i had no doubts about it because you know how to use this technique correctly. Very compliments and have a great Sunday!👏👏👏
@@ArkefthosBonsai thank you for responding. I simply love your video content. One of these years, I want to travel to your country and see your garden and meet you. There is several other as well.
When you graft white pine cultivars onto black pine stock, do you have concerns that the black pine stock will grow faster than the white pine graft making it disproportionate in the future?
Usually the difference in thickening is small enough to create normal and pleasing taper. But if a big difference in taper starts to appear, you can address it early, by tightening fruit grafting tape for a few months to slow down the thickening. If you stay on top of it, usually it's not a problem. At this stage, I'm researching graft combinations of scion cultivars and rootstock that work together flawlessly. There is also the effect of the rootstock affecting the scion's growth in a way that a seamless union is achieved. All of these are being monitored, but it will take some years. Until now, Japanese white pine onto brutia and nigra is looking a great combination. Cheers!
Awesome 👍 I would love to know where you get your black pines ? I cant find some good Japanese variety in middle of Europe. I got some from Portugal as you refer me last time . But yours look so good.
For the species, Portugal, this nursery is the best solution. For cultivars, I got my kotobuki mother-plant material from Germany, there are 3 or 4 great nurseries and my senjumaru came from Italy. This was hard to find...
@ArkefthosBonsai Yes, and one more thing, I will resend you nursery from Belgium, where Greenwood bonsai is buying some stuff. I never had any trees from them, but they have Tokename pots for reasonable price.
Check this out. It's not available now. They sell fast. You should check this every now and then, with your best chance being from April to June (that's when they get new stock usually) and a r fast. bonsaischule.de/bonsai/bonsai-outdoor/jungpflanzen/?p=1
I was part of a group about conifers since 2009 and there, the amount of knowledge was massive. About cultivars, species, environmental factors, planting techniques and of course, grafting. Getting information out if the internet, judging the quality before trying out what works, so yes, you could call it self taught. Cheers Wolfgang!
@WolfgangKeim1 I don't, at the time. I try to share everything about the subject of the video each time, so as a sum, the information should be there eventually. I appreciate your comments!
Great to see your success, Fotis! Well done! 👏👍
I appreciate it John! Cheers!
Impressive success rate with those grafts. Well done!
Thank you Susan! I'm pleasantly surprised myself!
Beautiful to watch and very inspiring. Thanks
I'm really glad to read this! Thank you!

Good morning man! Thank you and I appreciate it greatly!

Thank you as always Roberto! Have a great Sunday!
Gorgeous!) more.. and more)) 👍
Ha ha ha thank you!
I want to start grafting in the near future. I love the option you have with it
Grafting can be addictive, so be careful!! A good tip is to grow your own rootstock! This changes the success rate by a lot. Cheers!

You are most welcome, but be sure to arrange to see other places as well. Greece is a very diverse place!
@@ArkefthosBonsai thank you the heads up. I will consult you when I plan to make the trip.
@drlighthse65 excellent choice!
Well done grafts are not easy

That's great!
We're did you get Zuisho white pine? Here in Greece and if you could send a link. Thanks.

@@ArkefthosBonsai I’m really impressed. Do you give workshops. I think this information has to be shared.
