Thank you mate! The screws will be eventually swallowed while the tree thickens. It might take up to 10 years to completely remove any signs of them. For the nails, I will put new ones and remove the ones that bite in a lot. And keep doing that until the tree settles.
Thank you Alex! It's going to take at least 2 years of growing out the foliage before it makes sense and development and design, but definatly a tree that will be features extensively! Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Apparently size always matters??? Seriously - it was a great demonstration. i tried my first one last month and really enjoyed the challenge.
Thank you Amanda! I appreciate it! Any wood hardener will delay the rotting substacianly, so that you can enjoy it for many years. I used a product from "Borma Wochs". Cheers!
No long roots but many fine white tips, even high up the trunk. It should be fine, as it has relatively dense fibrous roots. In a week I'm going to water it with a root activator and in 2 weeks start feeding it with organic fertilizer. I used a very fast draining mix so that I can water it and mist the foliage many times daily, for the first few weeks. Cheers!
Yes, there is a small chance that this might happen. But, what usually happens is that the stem remains intact and it grows around the screws. It engulfs then completely in 4 or 5 years. But even the stem splits, it will create a nice feature of old age, as long as it stays alive. The first month or two are crucial for it's survival and a few months later the tree is growing fine. I used screws because that was a stop bend and the trunk was thicker than my thump, so there was a lot of force. My clump broke. Anyway the tree is growing fine, so it's probably gonna be OK. Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai as an artist i was imagining to place the driftwood on a metal spoke poured into a concrete blok, i drill out a "pot"IN the wood and treat it with epoxy and plant the bonsai on top, and intertwining. :)
@@ArkefthosBonsai not realy actually some on a facebook account, or do yo mean bonsai? I always did medium in full ground. Just started small ones in pots a year ago.. not that long
Now I'm reading it better I see it better. Not a concrete base. A metallic one from rebar. I was thinking of welding an H from thick rebar steel and placing it there, instead of the wood I have now. Let it rust to look good and provide some iron to the trees roots. For 3 or 4 years until the roots can support the tree adequately.
Ciao caro. Lavoro molto armonioso e elegante. Espressione di tutto rispetto che richiama la verità naturale senza sconfinare nel rispetto dell' essenza
Yes, yes it will, but first I needed to establish the live tree onto the deadwood. Once the composition is set I will clean the deadwood and lime it. Thank you!
