The white pink beige tip about the roots was very important! Thank you very much!

What a wonderful lesson in both trees and economics! Great to see all the parts of the tree being used.

Been watching Nigel for years but only just found you. KZfaq algo got something right. I'm addicted to propagation so thanks for this great vid --Yankee in Thailand

Many times, my hand moved to hit the like button, which I had already done. Good job

Watching from Laguna, Philippines.Thankyou for sharing good ideas.

You Sir , are amazing! I wish I could be your student. Cincinnati I Ohio

Beautiful Maples

Very nice 👍 great sharing thank you so much for sharing

Hello sir David nice bonsai garden sir I'm bj espadilla from Philippines bonsai thnk you for sharing video gd bless you and more power 👍👍👍😅

Hi David, I thoroughly enjoyed your video , it was well explained and especially small tricks and tips. Please make more such great quality videos. Sending greatings from New Delhi - India - Antony

Thanks you started your channel! Find you just a few days ago. Never mind is September winter ahead besides your video is loaded with great knowledge so I'll watch it repeatedly. Thank you.

This is helpful! I'm looking on doing this to my shimpaku itoigawa next spring!

can you do a video that shows how to ground layer, score and get those great roots? thanks for all the teaching!

Thank you so much for shearing your wisdom. Do a collab with nigel saunders an other bonsai man from Canada. That would be great to see.

I've learned more from your instruction in this video than years of reading books and watching other videos. Thank you :) Please please do the video on how to do the air-layer and ESPECIALLY a ground layer!

Thank you for your time. It's appreciated

I've liked your short videos of trees but that was very informative. I liked how you didn't tie the roots down instead wired the trees.

🍁 a great and impressive video.

Great info you have inspired me to air layer some sacrificial branches off a shinoaku in the spring love to see a vid on root ground layering especially for pines

A great lesson! Not just about the technical aspect but also about the economic aspect! Creating bonsai from cheap material is something very important to say, especially for the beginners. Bonsai can be a very expensive hobby, without the right tips! Thank you, David

Thank you for such a large amount of valuable information in a relatively short time. Plan for next year - air layers. Thanks. I'm waiting for more great movies. Best regards.

Beautiful place.Your videos are interesting.Greetings from India.

Great video ! 👌

Great video.

Great info on the air layering process and a good dose encouragement…thank you.

thanks for your advice sir

The David's youtube channel is a national treasure!

Hello friend thank you for sharing

I just harvested my airlayering of a Florida maple! Took less than a month, and it was full of pink roots!

Thank you for all that important information. You have beautiful trees!🥰

Glad to see your channel David. A terrific way for the rest of the world to see your work. Great info on taking an air layer off and tying it in. How are George Lebolt's trees doing up there? Steve from New Jersey.

Thank you for sharing the video, I am considering doing air layering.

Great info you have inspired me to air layer some sacrificial branches in the spring off a shimoacku for starters very interested in the ground root layering love to see a vid

Great video. Can’t wait to try and air layer some things myself!

This channel was a real find for me today! Your instructions and advice were very clear. I live in Montana, and am very new to bonsai. It has been challenging to learn when to prune or repot or air layer based on type of tree or time of year. Thank you for specifying when to air layer a juniper, and that it needed to be brought inside to do it in March. Details like that are important! So much to learn. Plus coping with severe weather is another layer of challenge. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Thanks for the great video !

Thank you David, another masterclass! I used your superthrive trick yesterday on a rescued pine. I have high hopes because of it. I also used the Myke. Keep the tips coming and we’ll keep watching and learning. 👍🇨🇦❤️

Always excited to see a new upload from you, David. So much great info!

Good video, thanks ! 🌳🌿🌲🍀🌱☘️🌴

Great video,, just discovered you! Would love to see the progression on your mother bonsai. Thank you 😊

Fantastic

Such a beautiful nice explain. I'm from Germany and had such big problem s with air laying. Probably I make something wrong! I'm totally exided for your explain, about that. Pretty cool videos and nice trees. Awesome. Thanks a lot!!!!!

Love this video. Thank you so much!. Another "layering" lover.

Hi David, I’m from Australia and 3 years into my bonsai journey.. I love you man.. your content is so watchable and inspiring

Simply great overall review of air layering techniques and potting them. Just found you on KZfaq. Thanks.

Thanks for the lesson much appreciated

Merci David! Ce fut très intéressant :)

Such a wealth of information on air layering shared in this video! I particularly enjoyed seing the great examples of bosai that can be obtained in this manner and the great attention to detail when it came to providing the perfect soil composition for the species. Thank you!

Wow super

Thanks you

Buenas Tardes desde Argentina !!! Exelente explicacion, muchas gracias por compartir su conocimiento.Un respetuoso saludo.--

I have zero experience with bonsai but you have inspired me to get started. My wife and I grow many things so definitely looking forward to the challenge. What was the last nutrient you added before the bonsai went in the pot ? I think you said rich something?

Truly excellent and educational David. Next spring I'll be trying to air layer a 4" mulberry branch from a tree I have fond memories of from my childhood in Ontario. Is that too large? Any extra special advice for that species or size?

I think you should be getting more views on KZfaq. Check your key words , add things like fun,nature, trees, hobby, art, training, Japan. The more you add ,the better your hits. Good success.

Well done You Taught me with the answer I was looking for on my previous air layer from last year ,on what I did wrong., I had some success & I had some that died with a Trident Maple & Cucumber Nana Juniper which the junipers survive My problem was was I didn’t remove the Spagna moss from the Maples in which I had submerged in a tray of water when I potted it ,by which made it even worse by what you said was The obvious culprit of root rot in which was blatantly obvious on the technique I was using .,so I just needed to remove that moss ,I couldn’t stop thinking about it?-it Bothered me for quite some time? Throughout the spring and summer ,not knowing what happened , I guess you live & learn with the experience and journey -thanks again!-,but on that note I’m going to be starting new ones tomorrow I’m in zone 8/7 ish It’s 3/27/22 Perfect time just before April every year & Do more air layering with some,pink Dogwood , Rocky mountain Juniper ,cucumbers Nana Juniper ,ash tree & some Japanese Maples cutting & a possible air layer off of one of the Branches but I may make it a sacrificial branch and cut it off later on ,down the road to strengthen The Nabari..etc😉

Just joined your channel, good videos! Where are you in Canada , Fraser Valley?

Tremendously useful video David, thank you! Not much Itoigawa air layering examples out there. I have a question: does the raise in ph (from pure sphagnum to a soil with lime and charcoal) affect the new plant in any way?

Hi David, would you say that its better to leave the layer on the tree if there isn't enough root development by the time winter rolls in?

Hi David! Can you explain how you improve a nebari in already grown plants? I bought a 14-year-old ficus tree with a beautiful trunk, but in one part of nebari is empty place, and I would like to know how to fix it

Do you ever leave air layers on plants over Winter if they have not taken yet or will the freezing temperatures up North kill any newly formed roots?

Question: So, you remove the spanghum moss before putting the air layer in a pot with bonsai soil to prevent root rot...so is there a reason not to use the same mix in the air layer "bag"?

What all fertilizer are you using ?you mentioned osmocote , lime, mycorrhizae and Richard? What is that Richard substance, also where can I get chabasia in America?! Thanks 🙏

The Shin Deshojo Japanese maple that you started from a cutting at 4:40, do you overwinter in a greenhouse or does it survive outside in winter? I only ask because I've heard Acer P. cultivars are usually grafted and don't do well on their own roots.

When they are ready for their bonsai pot (shallow) is it safe to simple cut off the old chunk of tree in the middle of the root system?

where do you get those beautiful terracotta pots.. I havent seen those in normal garden store.

Charcoal?! Very interesting! What’s the reason behind that?

Checked out some of my Airlayerings they formed calluses at the top. Is it a good sign?

I'm collecting a maple air layering this year. I've seen a lot about planting the cutting in the sphagnum moss directly to protect the roots. What's your opinion? Winters are relatively mild here in the UK so I don't think root rot would be too much of a risk

Nigel saunders. The bonsai zone. Here on KZfaq

Really well explained. Looking forward on the video on how to air-layer ! Thank you for this. Where did your pots come from ? They are Japanese so I understand. Is there an online link ?

I usually lost itoigawa air layers when rooted, I cut and pot them. May be I don't water enough... Btw, I have the same cat in my house sir 😂

How often do you water the moss?

Any tips for overwintering junipers in Canada?

You don't seem to wrap the air layer in dark plastic or aluminum foil. Do you find it unnecessary?

thats a very pampered soil mix

Can you add a link for those pots?

David, what do you ask for in the dollar store for the screens? Plastic screens?

What if we don’t get roots all around , will roots on the un-rooted side eventually sprout once it’s potted up?

Can you show us how you air layer? New video!

Hi some of leave on my air layers are beginning to show stress, I have good roots but I was planning to leave them until the end of August, should I remove now and pot them up

Salut David, Peux-tu m'en garder un?

1:02 There's only one type of airlayer as the term 'ground airlayer' is kinda contradictory in itself. Aerial airlayer is just silly
