A RAFT OUT OF PROPORTION....IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!

I saw this one 4 months ago and when i showed it to Greg,he said "forget it,you are crazy,its too big".I forgot it until today....Its big,its impressive but....dont laugh guys.....it was so easy to dig out,but so heavy to carry down from the mountain though......

As you can see its full of healthy roots,all the old soil is washed away and needed to make some improvisations to fit it in a pot...i actualy used two to fit it in....Its length is 90cm and is 30cm wide....

I was too tired to clean it more,to get better pictures,tomorrow maybe......Am i crazy after all...
By the way with this one the Yamadory period is over for me......
All yours......

Well... What more to Say

Hmm .... its huge, has a great base, to many trunks to play around. A few straight trunks to go.
You need a wooden growing box a.s.a.p.
Not my style of tree but for sure is a great one.
There is one more option with this tree, split it and share the parts with friends

The base is impressive, but it will take you a lifetime to create a bonsai from it, since you will have to start from scratch and create several trunks and branches...........

So.. Savvas has no other option than to "split and share"

After some cleaning up....[img][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/img]

Remember this big fellow guys?He is doing fine yes.....so far i cut back hard 3-4 times last time was three weeks ago but it seems this drop of temperature we have is doing good to the trees as well,here are some updates...

When are u planning to start creating the bonsai?

You can start saving money for a commissioned pot…. it will take a few good years until the tree is almost ready for one, so get yourself a piggy bank       

Who is in a hurry guys,give it another year to settle down in its new home and we c...i will give it a good haircut now and let it rest....Pot?out of the question for now...i must find a good sponsor first   or may be a bank for financing it,will see   

That's some amazing yamadori   .
Are the trunks in the middle dead ?,and will you keep the big straight one ?.

It is i know....   
Yes the middle section of the tree is dead...Now as far as the straight one???Yes i am going to keep it but the V shape top part i am thinking about...i think i will keep one of the 2 sub trunks and carry on with styling...time will show....
