Awesome video! Love the format, great stuff!! You mentioned all the problems I've had in the past so, for me, this was really on point. Have a nice one and keep it up! thumbs up!

Super helpful! Love your videos

Great video and great timing. Just removed my airlayers two days ago and 5/6 have rooted so very happy with that just one stubborn apple that has loads of callus but no roots second year running. Will try keep it a bit drier next year and more free draining medium around it. Thanks for the lesson and advice!

One of the best A.L. videos!

This has been very helpful, thank you.

Thanks for all the tips! They are super helpful and informative. 👍👍

Thanks. Very useful and timely vid as we come into the Australian Spring/Summer.

Great video Darren. Not much more could be added to this one - hits the spot :)

Best video I have seen on air layering! Great work sir!

Darren, awesome advice, mate. I've got a couple that failed, and spring has only just started here in Australia . The areas are starting leaf out so I will try again. Cheers from down under mate

Smashing video, very informative. Nicely done 👍

Great vid mate, would love to see an update on all of your trees, cant remember if youve done a walk around/tour of them before, but would definitely be keen to see them warts an all!

Great bit of tree biology, superbly presented and simply explained Darren 👍 I have been guilty in the past of sphagnum moss remaining too wet and getting lots of callous but little or no roots. I have a biggish trident maple air layer separation pending in the next week that looked very promising when I last checked. The recent warm, wet weather will have helped.

Super helpful! 👏

Excellent break down on airlayers!

This video is timed perfectly!! I saw a beautiful japanese maple on sale at my local garden center, and it is dirt cheap for it being taller than 1.7m tall😮 so I've been contemplating whether or not to buy it and then air layer it shorter to the tree I want, and then also scoring more trees from one plant 😂😂thanks for your help! Love your videos 🎉🎉

Great info, brother

Fave Bonsai KZfaqr is back again!

PERFECT! THANKS! 🙏

One of THE BEST videos I’ve ever seen about air layers, really in depth and covering several useful points. Although Peter Chan first taught me how to air layer my attemps have always been unsuccessful. Thanks Daren, love from Sweden! :))

Again a very understandable interesting video. I am really interested in getting updates of the trees you did in the beginning of your KZfaq carreer. Please update the big deciduous trees from back then.👍👍👍

forget Bonsai :) as a tree surgeon I shared this on Facebook I think most of your video is directly transferable to grown up trees :)

Thanks for the video. Great info. I have an air layer with excess callus and no roots from last year. Can I just redo the airlayer at the same spot this year with better soil? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing I think I have my moss to wet just subscribed

I’ve recently tried multiple air layers on a very large garden Japanese maple. Three air layers on one branch. No roots at any of them. I’m leaning towards them being too wet for root formation but I’d be interested to know if you think the multiple on one branch approach was too much? Either way I’ll be re cutting the girdle to try again :)

Thanks mate, quality stuff, I have a crab apples and black thorn trees in my garden, when’s the best time to do an air layer on the more mature trees with thicker branches?

Hmmm, sounds like my Hawthorn "Crimson Cloud" was too wet then 😢 Thanks so much for this Darren, lovely clear explanation xx

Hi Darren, I've done a ground layer on a shohin elm. It did great for a month but then lost all its leaves. They just dried out. The original roots are still alive and it has some roots starting to grow from the layering point. Its still alive, but hasn't produced any new leafs for a month or so. What could be the best course of action here? Leave it and hope for new leafs next spring? Of maybe cut it off in winter, soak it, add hormone, pot it up and hope for the best in spring?

Thank you .Can I leave the airlayer on a garden rododendron over winter? I live in Sweden and its cold winters here.

Enjoyed this video Darren. Not a subject easily found on youtube and you caught it. You should check out my video on advanced airlayering in which I demonstrated on a malus royalty.. the technique helped to form roots all around the incision made..

❤️✅

👍👌

Rule of thumb. The size of the cut has to be the size of the thickness of branch. If its not it won't work.

LOL, if it wasn't for the fact that my dad, a professional forester with The Forestery Commission for 30 years, told me air layering was possible, I'd believe that it was a myth. In my seventy years I have never had a successful air layer.
