First styling of this full Pinus mugo in a raft style to set it for a bright future as a bonsai tree. Repotting on a slab in March, will complete it's transformation. Thank you for your time!

Lovely to hear the sounds of nature 😍 while you work. Awesome work, thankyou
Thank you Nerina! Lovely comment, I appreciate it!
What a transformation👌, I love multi-trunk Bonsai too and can't wait to see this on the rock as a composition, agree with the below comment - can almost feel the zen in your videos ❤ so peaceful.
So much appreciated Wesley! Thank you! On a rock slab and some pushing back the foliage in some places and it will be a good looking tree, as one passes by it in the garden.
Love this format, just nature and a vision
Thank you! I appreciate it!
So peaceful to watch you work on your trees. I love the videos. Keep sharing with us!!!
Thank you Dave! Much appreciated!
Hi my friend,this mugo pine is very very beautiful and i appreciated so much your styling. I also love the multi-trunk style and mugo pines are often naturally like this, it's a very strong and beautiful species but you have to be careful with their roots,they need mychorrizae for their health. Very compliments my friend!👍👍👍👍
Great info on mugo Roberto! Thank you for sharing! Have a great Sunday!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Thanks,have a great Sunday you too!👍👍
Yours is definitely the most aesthetically beautiful bonsai channel that i watch. Your production is superb. Trees are great too!
Comments like this one, can make one's day! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
I always enjoy how you style your mugos. Nice work on another beauty pine.
Thank you Tyrone! I really appreciate it!
How fast i click when i see you uploaded a new video! Love your channel!
Comments like this can make my day.! Thank you!
@ArkefthosBonsai you're welcome! Honestly one of my favourite bonsai channels on TH-cam!!!! And from an aesthetic pov probably the best! Hope my channel will be like yours once
@hashiramabonsai I wish you all the best!
Nice result !! Maybe a little too symmetric (just my taste)
Still the best bonsai channel on the web.
Just a shame most bonsai people don`t comment.

have a great day !
Ha ha ha thank you man! That's ok! I'm not trying to be a TH-camr! Yeah it is kinda symmetrical. I ran out of wood! 😁 I plan to elevate the apex significantly, while pushing the sides in, especially on the right side, giving a stronger direction to the left. Have a great night!
Τρομερό ταλέντο, εύγε!
Σε ευχαριστώ Κώστα! Καλημέρα!
Lovely Mugo pine. nice work
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Saludos y gracias 🙋👍🌲👌
Saludos Fran! You are welcome!
I usually leave the needles on the places where I want my new buds it works very time.
No need to rely onto needle buds in pines. Every species in the genus, if it is healthy, with plenty of oxygen in the roots, adequate fertilizing and most importantly full sun, when opened up to get sunlight in, they will produce adventitious buds in very old wood. There are species, like canariensis, that will produce buds even in 30-40 year old wood, on the trunk, under very thick bark. But each technique, if it works for you, is perfect! Thank you!
@@ArkefthosBonsai yep afcourse it depends on where you are and what conditions you have . That's true.
Agreed. Probably an extended growing season, with huge amounts of Greek sun, helps in bud creation. Have a great night!
🌲 Bonito pino.
Thank you!
A beauty!
Really glad you like it!
Genial.
Thank you Fabian!
Thank you for the video! Aesthetic and precise. I'm working on a mugo as well and also looking forward to repot it. Though I read they respond better If repoted in sumer... sounds weird. Did you have any previous experience on that species?
Thank you! Not weird at all. Alpine species tend to have a deep hybernation through summer, making them easy to repot then. As long as you can provide them relatively good conditions after. Like high humidity and relatively low temperatures while keep some hours of sunlight. Since I'm in Greece, repotting in summer is risky (kinda hot here) but I've done Abies in July and it went great and lots of pines in late August with 100% success. If you want to be relatively sure, repot it kinda early in spring (like late February) and protect it from frosts until the weather warms up above freezing. Cheers!
I found it very difficult to style a tree without digging and finding the true rootbase. But this one turned out good. What do you do for a living beside bonsai on you free time?
Mugos not collected from the mountains,have a fine dense root system that rarely qualifies for a nebari. What you see as soil, is 90% roots. This is probably stay like that forever for this tree. Ni thick roots. I am a chemist, but now I'm leaning on fulltime bonsai. Have a great night!
👍👌
Thank you Bruce!
Your videos are a great inspiration. I'm very new to bonsai. When is the best time to do wiring and pruning of small mugo pines? I live in the UK so the climate is cooler than Greece!
Thank you! So, you should know that pruning can instigate new growth. That is why you should avoid pruning in August and September. If new growth comes out, it might not harden before frosts come and end up with damages or die back. That means that work on any pine starts from October, all the way up to early March. Whenever you find time in that period. Usually, work ends when the frosts start though. Another good time for pruning and wiring is June, but that technique serves different goals. Have fun!
Ευχαριστω πολλοι!
@orchestralmockups παρακαλώ!
Copper wire, correct?
No unfortunately not copper. Aluminum and not only that, 60% is used once before and now reused... For small trees like that, aluminum will suffice. Plus this will stay on the tree for maybe 2 summers (in some branches) and aluminum fairs much better in summer heat than copper. Our Greek heat is no game here, plus I'm at an elevation which makes it worse. Cheers Victor!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Thank you! It looked like copper on the video, but aluminum is much easier to work with. I must say that I enjoy your videos...thank you for sharing! Greetings from Virginia, USA!
Love the Appalachian Victor! Beautiful state! Cheers!
Do you also sell trees?
No, not yet. It will take some years as I build stock from scratch... Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai you are on a good way. Your videos are very inspiring. Great piece of land you live on.
@WolfgangKeim1 thank you Wolfgang! Have a great day!
