Hi Rodrigo, I was thinking the tree will shed part of the foliage which it will not be able to sustain. And the tree did just like that. Some leaves fell of, some stayed and tree balanced itself. Of course, if I would wanted to stay more on safer side I would reduce half ot the branches. Anyway tree is clever, he will find its way to deal with that.

Thanks 👍 ✊️

Super you find it useful. Im using plastic also on much smaller air layeres, works well for me. Thanks for your support

Pot is quite big too actually

I'm happy you are able to find something interesting in there

Thanks 👍

I'm glad you like it 👍

Thanks for visiting my channel. I subscribed to yours, I didn't know all the guys from the Gavin's colab. 👍

​@@marosbonsai Same here!

@@lukaspaniak6322 ďakujem veľmi pekne 🙏👍

👍

I will. I have a couple of them

👍

Thanks for your kind words. Seems like they layer extremely well. I've seen one massive elm, worked by Will Badley, supposedly layered from a larger tree. Amazing what is possible to achieve with technique and bit of luck. Greetings

Thanks Sue. I'm surprised as well. I new there were roots but amount and length. Hope it will survive.

Hi Yaroslav. For me Osmocote is a main fertiliser because it is universal, fool proof, works well with my watering regime, seems to impossible to overdose plants. Also when life strikes hard and I can't fertilise other way, I know Osmocote is there and with every watering or rain it releases nutrients. As supplemental way of fertilisation Im using chemical fertiliser called Krystalon. I'm using it it with mixing device I just connect to hose, so also easy and convenient. But I'm not using it too often, so like once in 3 weeks. As for other means of fertilisation, I was using extensively chicken granulated manure, purchased from any garden center. I completely abandoned it since Walter once told me it could be source of fungal problems on deciduous trees. Do I have less problems with fungus? Yes. Did it solve fungal problems completely? No. Regarding Walter, I don't know how his fertilising schedule look like currently. I think he is not using organic fertilisers he used to as I said. When there will be opportunity to ask, I will.

​@@marosbonsai the information about chicken manure is very valuable, thank you, I also noticed that I have more fungal diseases lately

I'm glad you find it useful 👍

Ďakujem. 👍

I'm glad you like it 👍

Thanks mate 👍 it is easy and straightforward. If it works like it's supposed to, then it's interesting. I will report.

Thanks. There are many interesting techniques to manipulate the trees so they create desired shapes. I haven't seen the technique you are describing, but I can understand underlying logic of it. I'm not big fan of "pancake" nebari either, it is not according to my taste, but I know many people like it and think it looks cool.

In case the drilled hole is not plugged by something, it would heal and close with callus before roots have chance to appear. So we have to create condition for universal young cells under the bark which could create any part of tree (bark, cambium, stems, roots... ) to be exposed to humidity, hormone and air which will encourage those cells to create roots.

Thanks Bobby, it is nice little experiment, if it works than it opens more opportunities for dealing with nebari. Im curious myself.

I will definitely think about that. Thanks 👍

Hi Christoph, It's good to know someone is actually using it as well. I read a few comments under Dan's vid confirm use of the method. So let's wait and see how it works. Thanks for following my channel and support. Greetings 👍

I will report for sure, I'm curious, myself.

If it works, it could be very interesting and helpful. I would bet that it could work on species that generally root well in airlayers, etc. But too early to judge.

When I saw it a few weeks before, it was also new for me. I'm curious myself if it works. I will report.

Thanks 👍

Hi Alex. Thanks for your thoughtful and constructive comment. The thing is, I know the video is long. But RUclips is a tricky business. It seems it started to prefer longer content over shorter ones. It can place more advertisements into longer videos. So, I'm trying to figure out how to grow my channel and audience, and I am testing different approaches. I will make some shorter stuff soon, and I analyze the impact on the traffic and gaining a new audience. Anyway, feel free to interrupt your viewing session and continue later. Greetings

⁠​⁠@@marosbonsaithank you for your reply. I am doing as you suggest, l have watched 26 minutes now and I continue 😂

Did you have a chance to work with him personally in the States? He is an inspiring personality indeed. Thanks for visiting my channel. Greetings

Thanks for your compliments. I agree. Ground growing could speed up the process significantly. But, on airlayeed elm branches keep growing and thickening really well. In a few weeks, I will make video from separation if everything goes well.

I'm from Slovakia 🇸🇰

Glad it was helpful! Watching and taking pictures is a good plan and good training of an eye. I do it all the time the whole year. I learned it from Walter. Greetings

Glad you enjoy it! I hope You will also like future ones. Greetings

I wish I understood

Thanks, mate 👍. So you will probably like the next one, i hope to have it ready soon. Greetings

Thank you very much!

Ahoj Tomáš. Dobrá otázka. Fakt je, že ja som žiadny dub dlho nekopal. Takže nemam s tým aktuálnu skúsenosť. Ale myslím si, že sa v komunite yamadori nadšencov na to nejako pohľad radikálne nezmenil. Ak by som mal ja kopať dub, tak by som ho šiel kopať v takom termíne, že by mal veľké puky a takmer listy. Časovo to je ťažko zaradiť lebo počasie je každú jar rôzne. Druhá vec je, môj názor je že časové okno na kopanie stromov je oveľa väčšie ako si mnoho začínajúcich bonsajistov uvedomuje. Veľa ľudí (aj profesinálov) kopú takmer celý rok, skoro celú zimu keď nemrzne, v neskorm lete a začiatkom jesene, potom celú jeseň až do Vianoc.... samozrejme je to otázka starostlivosti po vykopaní, ako viem strom chrániť pred vetrom, pred nízkymi teplotami a pod. Neviem či taká odpoveď postačuje. Ak, tak sa pýtaj. M.

@@marosbonsai ďakujem!

Hi Sue. It seems that I could talk about styling and ways to make decisions even more. Maybe it will be useful to more folks. I will think about how to arrange it so it makes sense for viewers and try to bring new stuff. Thanks for your support 🙏 👍😉

Hi Nigel. If it resembles an elm tree to You then it is good, It should look like it. I try to style my trees like trees in nature. I'm glad you found my channel. Let me use this opportunity to thank you for all you have done to promote bonsai to a wide audience and spread positive energy. Greetings.

Phill, I'm humbled by your elaborate responses to my videos. I'm glad you can find some pieces of advice or motivation to your work. Thanks for your kind words. Have a nice weekend. Greetings 👍

If you want to go to exhibitions and win awards and get applause from the crowds, do it japanese way. If you want to make an art, don't care what anyone will like or not and do it the way You like it, how You want to have it.

Glad you enjoyed the video Gavin!

Im happy it didn't disappoint you. As you said, work in progress and many years will pass until it will reach the peak. The tree was repotted after long period of time this spring, so it slowed down a bit. Now it went to national exhibition, even if not perfect because it was collected in the hills over the city where exhibition was held. So it was symbolical return to honor the friend who was on collecting trip in 2013 with me, and is not with us anymore. For the purpose of the exhibition all bottom branches had to be shortened to fit the profile. Now it will not go anywhere for many years and new ugly sacrifice branches will be grown again. Greetings.

@@marosbonsai Great resolution to honour your friend. Would love to see a picture of your elm in the exhibition. I will continue to follow your channel with interest and look forward to your new posts. Thanks again Ian

I don't know how to add a picture here. There is a link to the FB album with the tree. One picture is from the 2024 exhibition

Ďakujem Mišo, som rád že sa páčilo a dúfam že si tam našiel zrnko múdrosti pre svoju tvorbu. Pozdravujem

@@marosbonsai jasná vec, páči sa mi že sa venuješ vo svojich videách hlavne yamadori tematike
