And the one becomes six!

I couldn’t believe that from one tree you can get six potential pre-bonsai materials!

We start digging have in mind that it will be a nice huge tree. Then the one becomes two. At the end we left with 6 trees! It was too easy to separate it, fantastic material!

I got the one, the two taken by savvas and the other three by Stauros .
It was a fair deal to split the trees this way, don’t you think?

I can only show you the 1/6 of the tree

Savva & Stauro can you please insert some fotos from the rest of the tree?

i do not have any pictures of them....will do by the end of the week
i will only say this: 2 pieces of the trees were discarded by my 2 friends, so i had to do what every bonsai enthusiast would do.........put them in a pot and see what happens

Savvas was given a chance to choose the "parts" of the tree he wanted and after a few minutes he started moaning that we chose the best pieces ..............as usual.....

Bloody fighting again you two. Stop it
Another mind blowing piece of yamadori. With material like this, I can see you at major European shows in no time.

Not so fair for Savva I can say

That last one is a peach. I would use the fat branch on the left to turn to deadwood. The slight spiral in the bark can be carried through into the deadwood.

the 2 pieces that i got .....(i did not choose, Savvas & Greg got to choose and i was left with these...and then after 15minutes, Savvas started moaning )

i have put some sphagnum moss around the base of the big tree because there were rootlets which i wanted to protect. Its base is much bigger that what you can actually see and its buried under the substrate.....its the almost same diametre as the pot.......

This is another olive that was collected that day, not connected to the previous pieces . The deadwood on the right as we see it, is quite old and there were signs of fire on it. Part of the base is buried with substrate because there were fine roots up to that point.

I'm drooling over this material Stavros. What do you mean "not connected to the previous species" ?

all the pieces presented in this thread except this last one, came from a single multiple trunked tree that was dug and separated in several trees.

it was collected on the same day
