I love the follow ups on these videos, it seems no one does a proper follow up on there videos it’s great to see the progress and know how the tree goes on in the future, Absolutely fantastic work it’s wonderful seeing inside the true world of bonsai

I’m very new to this technique and find it fascinating, thank you 🤩

Really useful video, you are as always very clear, concise and respectful. I've been slowly becoming a big fan.

A great bonsaimaster just like his father!

Really loved this video - thanks Corin & team

One of the best layering videos I have ever seen! Thank you!

Love your work, and the beautiful garden🥰

I Am Learning More About Bonsai Plants Thanks From Lonnie Clifton In Boling Spring Lakes N.C. U.S.A.

This is a really good video on air layering, I only discovered air layering a few weeks ago so have tried it on an ash tree that’s growing through some slabs out the way at work, just tried it with some cheap garden wire a plastic bag and some moss I raked out the grass. Also pretty chuffed to find you are only a 30 minute drive away so I will have to get over with some pocket money at some point.

Nice video as usual, thanks from a french fan !

You can wet the trunk above the cut before you use rooting hormone and it will stick. The roots usually start above the top cut, I try an mount the moss just slightly above the bottom cut and go up the trunk a little bit more just in case. You get good results regardless though. 👍

only just found this ,i love it ,explained well ,plain easy to understand ,excellent,,i ll be back

I have been looking forward to this video for a while, you have not disappointed.. Cheers....

Thank you very much for a great video. Much appreciated. 😊😊

Interestingly, I was out in the yard air layering some J. maples this morning when a passing rain chased me in the house. So I decided to watch your new video-on air layering. You do it just like I have been for years! Next I need to ground layer an elm to get rid of a root that has grown into a massive surface feature. I also have a couple zelkovas that need a similar treatment and a Seju elm I got from your friend Bill V. that has a branch that I want to remove. Like you we had a lot of late frosts and cool spring so everything has been set back a few weeks. Another method is to use small butter dish with removable lid. Cut a notch, put in the moss, and pop on the lid. Fast and easy and it makes it very convenient to pop off the lid and examine the layer for new roots.

I've been waiting for this one, very informative as usual, thank you Corin.

Vai Greenwood number one!!@@@@@!

Wow beautiful

New ideas of what to surround an air layering location. Love the tree species.

Bonsai phill very good video corin thanks mate

Love your work...

its funny that also Peter from herons bonsai did not exactly know why air layering works as he used kind of the same, wrong, explanation as here. So for everyone interested: By removing the bark of trees, but leaving the sapwood underneath intact, the water from the roots can still reach the above, as it is transported in the sapwood. The clue however is that the products of photosynthesis, transported in the bark, do not reach the roots anymore. This causes the tree to produce new roots above the removed patch of bark.

Awesome corin I got an oak air layer and a ash air layer on the go. Brilliant stuff 👍🌲

Thanks Corin. Got a couple on the go. Fingers crossed.

Another clearly described video. Do you not scrape the wound to remove any trace of cambium? Your method clearly works if you are getting 100% success.

Killing it Col!

You have lots of patience my friend.

I’ve always used a paste or gel of rooting hormones. Seems not a lot of powder remains in place when applied dry. Seems to work here though.

Good stuff. Did the exact same thing with the pot method on a shishi not long ago.

What is the latest date to air layer? I live in Fresno CA. Trees Leaf in March /April and start coloring in October. Could I do an air layer in first of August and be successful?

8:00 that’s a good camera man, zooms in to remove a leaf from your beard

Thanks. I have looked at those balls before but they looked really small. Seeing them with some scale they look pretty good. I may have to give them a try.

i love this cultiver 👍

I wonder about the roots on air-layered trees as many maples are grafted to stronger root stock. Would the air-layered tree have weaker root stock than let's say, a Koto-Hime that has been grafted?

Please make follow up video with our got better root too , thank you.

Good morning. Thanks for sharing another new video. In layering techniques, can another material be used as a medium for the development of roots such as peat, cococo fiber or akadama 100 × 100? Thanks Greetings and until the next video👍😄

I can understand the need for clean instrument when grafting, but with airlayering the next step after stripping the bark is sticking some compost or sphagnum moss onto the wound, so I don't usually bother. But I'm not saying that I'm 100% right And about watering: I find that the sap from the tree keeps the moss quite moist, so I seal mine completely and don't worry about rehydrating them. But again, my experience is very limited

Have you ever air layered a holly tree, if not do you know if its possible to air layer a holly tree

Awesome video. I'm very interested in starting my first air layers on acer circinatum but the new growth isn't out and hardened off yet. Do I have to wait until the growth is hardened off? It's a late cold season for us and the buds are so close to popping I'm dying to try

Corin, can I ask when you used the black pods, how often did you add water to the sphagnum moss inside please?

Can you do this with pine?

Can you perform multiple air layers on the same branch at the same time?

Can one cut TOO deep? I just lost 8' of a crabapple on a trunk air layer. 24 hours later it was drooping. As I knew I'll be doing thick trunk air-layers this year I bought a cordless sawzall for the thick bark. (Knife clean up of rooting line).

👍👌🍺
