Does anyone else hit the 👍🏼 button before you even watch the episode 😂 or is it just me? Best regards from from Oregon ♥️🇺🇸
I did that too 👍, washington state now stuck in south east asia here. 😁
Yeh same here , it's no clickbait incredibly genuine we all want him to get success on youtube
Every time with Peter
Oregon is in the house.
Me too as I normally get caught up in Peters magic and tend to forget to like at the end
Must have been nail biting for the owner watching Peter cut big branches and prune like that, I know I would 😁. Those big Deshojo should grow new branches in no time. Bravo Peter 👍, wish we could see the update on them someday. Cheers 👍
2 mins into the video and Peter already added wisdom to me.
Fascinating, thank you from New Zealand. Glad you're enjoying our moss.
🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
David says "Go for it" He has a lot of faith in you Mr. Chan. As we all do.
Walk in with 1 Bonsai, walk out with 4 Bonsai, Cool :)
It’s already been said, but I’m going to add my voice: please, please post updates as that big air layer progresses. We want to see the outcome.
This video he made a year ago shows some: ruclips.net/video/skm5aVhIc7g/видео.html if you just want to see general air layer harvesting (has some really big ones).
"I always look for the good points. I never look for the bad, in anything."
It's only due to Peter that I've reshaped my 3 Maple trees - I never had the courage, ie, didn't know how/what to do. And now all 3 have really taken shape so thank you from Essex 😊 👍
Being new at this, I didn't know you could do this (airlayering).
My wife and I watch your videos in bed and it's very enjoyable as well as a good way to fall asleep.
We also want to come and visit you Peter.
Greetings from South Africa
Watching a master at work teaching how to air layer is a treat for me many thanks' for your videos Peter
I learn more in this video that in my entire high-school 😅
There are so many great, wise phrases that sometimes sounds even funny ! But I will take : “Once you have decided what to do…. The rest is easy!!! 👏🏽 😅
Take me like 3 hours to planing the pruning and then 3 hours more to do it, not even talk about wiring the branches😂
It is my second year learning this Art from the comments and the videos of this Señor ! Muchas Gracias 🌳
40 years late, but my education continues with this wisdom.
I have never had a Bonsai. But since I stumbled into this channel a few weeks ago I just cannot get enough of these videos!! LOVE to watch your expertise make it all look so supersimple (which i am sure it is not.... :-) ). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The next time I am in England I will visit and get my first ever Bonsai from your Nursery :-)
Dont wait get started now you will be addicted in no time
@@rsa420 You might be right ;-) I have some small spruce here from last christmas. Maybe I should just give it a go and see how far I get with it .....
Thank you Peter and also the owner of the trees to show us how to treat trees like that. I guess one or the other viewer will have the same kind of trees, I got one or two :-) , so this video helps a lot to sharpen the view and not to be too anxious to make drastic decisions followed by heavy cuting. Thank you from the northern part of Germany.
We always enjoy air layerings
When I saw the big tree I was sure that we would see some radical sawing. :D
Peter Chan exudes confidence and instills a sense of calm.
How can you not like this video? Loved it!!
I like the way you see the potential in these trees, pointing out the good and not so good points.
You teach us to look with fresh eyes Peter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very interesting exercise. Yes, I agree with the others that seeing an update after the air layered branches were removed would be a good follow-up video to this one. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Cheers!
Wow all time best Herons video. The decisions Peter makes and the detailed and understandable explanation of why are wonderful. Great Job!
Thanks to the master for sharing his knowledge
Thank you for showing the bridge i never knew that good to always have another feather in the hat
He is a master at what he does absolutely lovely
All I can say is: BRILLIANT!
I also newbee . Never made bonsai or had one but i make from drift wood big cat treehouses. i gonna try this in the future with my old grape bush.....
Fantastic I would love to see follow up videos of the air layered trees progress
Cool. Im about to air layer mine today so great timing!
I air layered yesterday lol. Oh well. Looks like I did it mostly right.
Today I bought the first Japanese maple ☺️❤️
Thanks for your videos 🙂👍
Almost first darn it! Love the videos, many have helped me in my own bonsai undertakings. Keep them coming! :)
Sucessfully air layered a Red Oak last summer here in Colorado. Intended to remove it this summer, but high winds broke it below bark removal this early spring. Put in large pot with more sphagnum moss, had plenty of good roots, and will leave in pot for several years. I am going to work on taper while in pot. It is about 1 inch diameter base now, and doing very well.
I love how decisive Mr Chan gets with the branches :D
Just a fabulous video.
Thank you. Always looked forward to and very much appreciated.
Please don't lose any love or respect for the future of the growing of the tree that is in growth ✨ 🙏 is important on the raising of the gardening that takes Time to see the beauty
You will see allways the good one at the Tree. Verry nice …!
Thanks for the video Peter, now I have to go re-do my air layer, think I need a larger ball of moss, it's only been about a week so should be no roots yet. I am air layering above the graft which is the waterfall, the trunk below sprouted a very vigorous branch and has some tiny ones starting to sprout so it will look better without the graft.
Fantastic video! One of your best ones i have to say! All the expertise and the quick an excellent decisions really struck me! Keep up the good work. I’m a fan 😊
Now I'm anxious to try a first attempt at air layering. Excellent video.
I am too, I have a Holly I want to air layer no idea if it'll work. I'm going to try it in the spring
My goodness... last year there is no way I would have trim or clip a tree that way...
Well this Spring just pickup up a beautiful light green seedlings from my land! My first 6 Maples did beautiful last summer and overwintering in pots! Thank you so very much!
Pls know, I take notes of everything you say... pls do not hesitate and tell us how you reach your final design... Your kindness is so big!! Cheers from New England!!
What a great video. Learned loads from this. Now know why my maple air layers failed - scraped them down to the wood. Ok on junipers but not maples. Thanks Peter.
Great video. Received my moss last Saturday. Will try my very first airlayering tomorrow
Beautiful masterclass!
You are great ! I learned a lot for this particular video especially the first 4 min (much more than the others) :) Many Thanks
Hey peter, Herbert Aigner and some others successfully air-layer Mugos in the mountains. Love your content, always watch them while doing bonsai pottery.
Very educational video! Thank you.
Great video!! :)
Another great video Peter! I’m a really nervous Nellie! I’ve been meaning to air layering a beautiful European beech but now after watching you do it again today, I’ve decided that tomorrow is d day! I’ll let you know how it went..
You can find the origins of this saying on google. Unfortunately I’m hopeless at sending links etc so I can’t direct you exactly but you just have to type it in on search and the origins comes up immediately! I’m not making it up!
Thanks for the video. Regards from Spain
Im a simple man, i see maples, i like the video :)
You are like me - simple man.
Thanks Peter. Good lesson.
Thanks Peter 👍👍👍👍👍
Very nice. I didn't think to be more liberal with the moss and plastic.
Stunning vid as always
Beautiful plant
Peter,
I have successfully air layered 5 small branches of Japanese Black Pine last year (100% success). They are in individual pots and are growing on their own roots now.
They are all about 2 times thicker than a pencil and 20 centimeters or so high.
I do not take full credit for doing so, as I was inspired by someone named John Muranaka on his blog in California I believe.
I personally accomplished these air layers in Indiana, U.S. zone 6a (cold hardiness zone)
I plan to make a short video showing the process that worked for me on another channel.
Dear Peter. Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. Your videos and your content are always inspiring. If possible, could you please do a video on the beautiful Japanese lanterns that you have around your wonderful nursery. Many thanks
Dr Collin Naicker
South Africa.
It never occurred to me to do that buy `I will one day.
@@peterchan3100 That would be great. Thank you Peter. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.
i really like the original trees
Nice instruction and give me ideas. Thanks.
That tree looks like a dancer
Because I didn't know any better, I air-layered a wild Pitch Pine February 2020. I collected it at the end of June and nursed it through the summer in moss and perlite. I potted it the following year and it grows to this day. A trait of the Pitch Pine (P. rigida) is that it sometimes back-buds profusely, which may make it an exception to the the "pine doesn't layer" axiom.
Wonderful video that evolved into the subject of air layering, allowing the problem to guide the content of this video. Masterful. Peter, question if I may regarding maintaining the air layer. What is the recommendation behind keeping the moisture in the air layer? Open the wrap and water as needed, similar as you would to keeping soil moist? Thank you in advance from the U.S. and I thoroughly enjoy your teaching style and bonsai content.
Fig’s air layer very well also. Oh, and olive.
Thanks for the tip.
I found this thread about pine layering...www.bonsainut.com/threads/air-layer-pines.3770/
I found a pine some years after a flood. It had a huge pile of detritus built up around a large branch. I went to clean it out and was super surprised to find eyes sprouting into the detritus. The bark was intact completely... Make of this what you will.
Great job
Great video!
Great info here Peter. I can't believe there is still an opinion on sealant/paste use. There should be no discussion on this stuff. The studies should have been done. There should be no argument at all, sealing is the way as you say. The scientific and horticultural waters are muddied due to the various formulations, application and aftercare protocols. The only reason opinion exists is becasue there is no written standard.
Formulations change alot it seems. I'm sure people would be interested in the various formulations that you sell and that you have used in the past. I know some of the older Bayer products and many current products in Japan used very potent healing compounds. Bayer didn't have to state these inclusions back in the day. Now all of these useful products are banned in the UK - though in the Netherlands, horticulturalists have all the access to these compounds they want!
Some dwarf azaleas I got from Holland a few years ago were treated with growth regulators and goodness knows what else. They shot out long internodes as soon as they cleared these growth regulators. Should not be allowed.
UK should grow and develop it's own stocks and inventories now. You have done very well to develop the inventory you have. Please continue it indefinitely by training others. UK needs all the help it can get (not just in Bonsai).
Did you get in touch with Bartholomey's for those grafts on your rare redwoods? They are very good commercially speaking.
Scots pines for air layers are more work than deciduous. The optimal process takes advantage of the auxin distribution changes that causes back budding upon candle pruning in pines (scots pine being very strong in redistribution after candle pruning as you know). Some have advocated stripping needles as well but it depends very much on vigor and conditions.
Would be interested in your experiences with pine air layers. I know your process doesn't allow exact conclusions due to uncontrolled variables. In anycase, it is an interesting body of experimental work (hampered by having to run a business of it no doubt).
Peter - you have a vast fund of knowledge and thanks for sharing. As regards the rare Dawn Redwoods - I should try making cuttings - in fact I will do so this week. The trees I have are massive with 6-8 inch diameter trunks. If you get a chance to visit our nursery - I will show them to you.
You are a Genius
Hello Mr. Peter Chan,
I love your program and I have gained so much from your generous teaching methods! I am just a gardner and a rancher. The reason I share this is our bulls took a stroll through part of my garden when a grandchild left a gate open. The bull walked over a flowering apricot and broke the base. Can I perform your air layering technique at the graft where rootstock and graft meet and expect to save it? If you can address this, I thank you.
Sinerely,
Jimmie-Fay Beal
Your bull has done you a favour. It has created a potential bonsai for you. We often find that when sheep and deer graze on shrubs and trees - those are the best trees to use for bonsai.
I was wondering what you think of keeping sweetgum trees as bonsai? I found a small sapling of one in my yard and I might turn it into a bonsai. The botanical name is Liquidambar or Liquidambar styraciflua
How wet should the moss be? Dripping , if you squeeze water comes out or just damp?
Damp
@@peterchan3100 thank you :)
I love when a true expert can say what people teach in colleges and confidently go against the accepted dogmas of their profession.
Master of maples! Great video! Love the shape of the smaller maple that wasn’t videotaped. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Warm wishes from your #1 fan in Florida! 🐊🌴🦩😎
Very nice. How usual is it to airlayer a bonsai from a Full grown tree from the wild? Is That Even possible? Sometimes i See a Trunk and think That it would be a nice bonsai.
I have done air layerings of Hornbeams with 6-8 Inch diameter trunks - Easy.
But please remember to ask for permission first. And be gentle, nature needs it's crooked, gnarled old trees too.
My next trip to UK will include a visit to Peter's.
Hello Peter, great video thank you.
Have you done videos on thread grafting on Trident maples yet?
I will do one on that.
@@peterchan3100 thank you Peter, much appreciated. Regards from South Africa
The second tree has the structure i look for in yamadori. Removing the main trunk leaves a big scar that will take time to look better , but it's the fastest way to create taper. 2 years
Wow that was brave.
Hi Peter, you think it could make sence to make some small holes about up to 1cm above the bark-cut for airlayering? where u put the hormons, so that they can reach into the bark? just some damage to the bark like u do when trying to produce new branches? anyway i will try it next year :P
Great Work, i saw you used sphagnum-moos, but yours is green, seem to be life in it. Can i achieve the same result with dry package of sphagnum-moos? Thank you so much.
If you expose the moss to sunlight it will turn green and grow.
I do hope you add to the video later to show the outcome.
Love it
“Now it’s up to David to decide what he wants to do.”
Me: “poor David “
David: “just go for it “
That’s the attitude buddy!
As the roots grow from the upper part and nothing is being transported upwards from the tree, why is it not possible to simply treat it as a large cutting and remove the branch completely?
👏👏👏 Greetings
Peter's sayn if you want, you can crack open that maple and just chug it. May be his preferred beverage. Straight maple. No chaser. It's why he'll hit 150.
I really liked this video. I have a deshojo myself and I very much want to air layer three branches off of it. They're to big for the trunk and one also grew back in front of the trunk. I wanted a little extra demonstration before trying this year, I've also had issues getting what I need for the project.
I would like to hear more about wisterias some time.
I also have a question that's been concering me this year. I have a few trees that have not leafed yet. A Japanese maple Beni hemi, and Japanese wisteria and a Chinese Elm. I most recently checked the Elm and it's still alive. We have had many days of 90 degree (32 C) and more so far, but they just seem to be stuck in dormancy. Is there anything I can do besides just wait and water them? I also have a fungus gnat problem that causes me no end to problems that I'm working through
If maples have not leafed by now - then its not a good sign. Try the Moss trick - it might help. What is the fungus problem. Send ma a picture via email to our office.
@@peterchan3100 thank you, I will do that
Peter Chan I’ll bet he could bring Noah’s staff back to life
That first airlayer i am so unsure of, it is quite a nice branch that could be bent in many ways
from what i was told you need to air layer pines for over a year so i would assume the trick is to every 3 months re dress the wound and add more hormone
Great air layering video, mr. Chan.
I have been doing air layerings on my fruit trees (apple, cherry, pear) beginning of April (I live across The Channel in The Netherlands), to get some flowering bonsai. Checked them beginning of June, but no rooting whatsoever. I used rooting powder, but only on the cutting edge (rooting side). So not on the bark you just showed. Furthermore the moss was very wet upon opening.
Have you tried doing this on fruit trees as well? Any specific rooting timelines to take into account? Any suggestion is much appreciated.
there could be different explanations why it didn't root yet. First, you didn't remove enough bark to get to the phloem (which moves the water from the root to the leaves) by removing the complete cambium, so the cambium just produced new bark or calloused over instead of roots at the cut you made. Second, you just didn't wait long enough to let the airlayering take root, as that can take between 3 weeks to a couple of months or in a few cases even longer (I heard of a case of pine or maybe it was juniper which can take up to two years to root).
That is the reason why Peter Chan and a lot of others (me included) likes to use a clear plastik so that you can see new roots growing so you don't disturb the new roots and break them off as they are quite fragile at first.
But don't despair, there is always next year to try again if at first you don't succeed :-)
@@h.b.1421 -YOu are absolutely right.
“I can air layer a dead pine bruh”
Peter: “I don’t think you can, but I could be wrong so if you want to prove me wrong go ahead.”
My guy just turned IKEA furniture into the mona Lisa.
I see in most sources that in 6-8 weeks you should have roots through. Is there any reason why we should wait 3-6 months as mentioned in the video? for healthier roots? or is it weather dependent?
Depends how well you did the air layer and depends also on the vigour and health of the tree.
What is the ideal month to start air layering a red maple? I wanted to do it in July, but I reconsidered it.
July is a little late in the year but don't worry. If it doesn't produce roots before winter just leave it and it will be ready sometime in spring next year.
Peter, on the first customer’s tree, when you changed the front of the bonsai, why didn’t you cut the lowest branch that was pointing directly at the observer?
I think he was trying not to scare the customer. I bet it will go eventually.
mr chan you work so fast i was wondering is it important to prune branches at a certain point
What type of sealer do you recommend?
Is it possible to air layer the thicker branches at the same time and then once the air layering took, remove the thicker branches closer to the trunk?
I have a Sugar Maple tree the issue maybe over 50 years old and was trimmed and from the cuts the maple syrup was just pouring out of the tree.
