- At first I had tears of joy in my eyes when I saw the new roots. Then as I worked through them, I realized they were not as strong as I thought they should be to support this mass of foliage. But once I began, I dared not turn back. Now it will be a waiting game to see how the tree fares. So far, It looks like a success, but you never know.
Hard wood is tuff wood to cut. Tree should turn out to be a nice looking tree after the repot. You have a nice long hot summer for it to grow. Great work!!!!!!
It was ridiculously hard to cut, but in the end, the Ironwood pruners and the saw cuts got through it. Thanks as always Tom.
Beautiful Oak Steve! I know it can be challenging to air layer an oak. Nice job on that. You will have a beautiful Nebari in no time!
Thanks Adam. It’s not an oak however. Texas Ebony is similar to a Brazilian Rain Tree. I just hope the roots that remain are sufficient to sustain the tree. I still have it in a tray of water and no leaves have dropped (yet!).
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, STEVE!!!!!
Same to you, Tom and many more.
My Dad once handed me a cutting board-sized chunk of Ebony and it was black, heavy buffed shiny, very, very dense wood, I was curious to see if this tree would strike you as Heavy for its size and density and the Show did not disappoint. Happy Father's Day Steve!
Thank you, Patricia. The trees didn’t seem particularly heavy, but the heartwood was as dense as iron, and black as coal! I’m still a bit worried because the root growth was still a little sparse for the density of the foliage
Looks like success! Nice work Steve!
I sure hope so. I’ve become attached to this tree, and now quite invested in its success
I was holding my breath while you took off that tub. Fingers crossed.
So was I Mary! I’m hopeful it survives.
Steve this is so cool. The master plan comes altogether!What a great achievement in patience. Good things come to those who wait indeed!
Patience is what Bonsai requires. Thanks Dave
@@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai that is for sure!
That was a great root system you developed from the cup method. Super cool!
I was so happy to see those roots, but a little disappointed after pruning away the old roots. I just hope those new roots can support that mass of foliage. Thank you Tom.
I hope this ebony tree thrives; this was a very interesting video. Thanks for the education on working with Ebony! I've never seen the actual tree before, although I have worked with the wood a little. You're not exaggerating about its hardness.
I hope it thrives as well. It’s sulking a bit as we speak, so I’m very worried. Keep your fingers crossed. Or perhaps there’s a Druid chant that could help??

Ebony dark and thick and proud
Send out roots to grip the ground
Each meristem seeks its wandering way
Through sand and soil and rock and clay
Firm the base, then grow upright
Strong invincible tree of might
Each ring of growth be dense and tight
Each leaf and bough be blessed with light.
Awen- Awen- Awen three
Blessed be from me to thee
~Suzy
@@BonsaiDruid-qo9lo I love this, Suzy. That is amazingly beautiful! Thanks!
Great results, good sir
I’d be too nervous to do that mid-summer. Looking forward to seeing how it responds!
Oh Billy. I got carried away. Because it’s a tropical tree, I thought it would be ok to do now. However it may have been a big mistake. It’s not doing well at all. I haven’t given up hope because I’ve seen Brazilian Rain Trees look totally dead and then resurrect. This is a similar tree so I’m still hopeful.
@@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai oh no! Shade or dappled sun, especially since it is in the green house. She’ll pull through, you’ve got this
All of the family have hard dense wood. The wood in the family is very water tolerant. It is also full of silica nodules and is consequently hard on saw blades. Common trees related are mesquite, locust, and carob. Thanks, I was wonder how well air layering might work on TX ebony. I have a full grown tree in my yard. It was grown from seed which is helped by sanding the outside before sprouting.
Thanks for watching Lewis. Well, it did root, but I’m still not out of the woods. It’s hanging on to some green, but it’s all droopy and some foliage is dead. Perhaps I should have waited longer to separate them. The next update will let us all know.

Thank you!
nice tree. not a common one to see in nys
Agreed. This was a gift, and I’ve become very attached to it! Thank you Mike
