Love your work mate. Hi from Aus!
Really enjoyed this video, so pleased to see your presenting style is coming on leaps and bounds.
Sorry, but i found your earlier videos difficult to sit through, the last two have been so much better.
I really appreciate you sharing your considerable knowledge, and no nonsense approach.
Keep up the great work.
I've found mixing in some akadama with the chopped sphagnum makes it easier to unravel the roots when it's ready to chop and pot.
Another awesome video Peter. Many thanks! Not sure if anyone is interested but, for the hormone application there are several chemical 'thickeners' that can be used to gel these hormones for more convenience and longer contact times. One very good one available on the open market is hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). It is also an antifungal unlike the ubiquitous acrylamide powders (expanding water balls, aqua gems etc...) which are good humicant gels too but more suited to latter stage tissue culture formulations. I have also had algal issues with acryl gels in the past.
Using these gelling agents as opposed to buying bacterial or algal agar gels is alot cheaper and fun. Worth mixing these on the day of use or adding some liquid preservative such DMSO (also available locally there). Very useful tool becasue commercial gels seem to be monopolised and typically available at low concentrations as you say Peter. Not ideal for some hardwood cuttings/conifers/hawthorns etc...
Adding more hormone to commercial gels is not ideal either becasue you have to add quite alot to get the concentration up. Especially if 99% pure hormone(s) are unavailable.
People might think that this process is only suitable for commercial use. But the benefits are not just scalability and cost. By separating the components and mixing on the day of application you can ensure minimum storage loss in hormone concentration allowing more precise calculation of concentration and greatly extended shelf life. If the material and application deems these of value they are worth experimenting with for sure.
This is great, thanks so much Peter.
You don't need a tourniquet if you're layering.... The tourniquet method is just a slower way to achieve the same thing.. It'll root far faster than callusing together.
Excellent information Peter.
Thanks Peter, I'm learning a lot.
Great video Peter, thank you. Quick question, does the root stock of the original tree survive to form a new tree?
Yes, generally it should.
Great episode thank you.
Hi Peter ! When you cut back your tree, how do you make the wound to disappear ? How to accelerate the healing ?
Thank you for your great work on those videos !!!!
He explains this in the video, but the short answer is the more growth that occurs above the wound, the faster the healing.
Would this method work with a blue atlas cedar? I haven’t been successful with cuttings, I hear it’s near impossible
Have you air layered a holly tree successfully
Why strangling a strain? Thanks.😊
I don't know if you will get the chance to see this mate but can i do an air layer the same year as a re pot? I've got a ginkgo that i'm going to put into a net basket this year and i need to reduce it in size and i wanted to try and save the top as it's got nice movement. should i wait a year to attempt it or just go balls deep this year?
Which would be those rooting powder brands that you are mmentionig, Peter?
Hi Peter, g o
I have a disease running through my Beach tree,where the bark is dying off, should I carve this out to stop the bark dying from spreading?
Where did you get that shallow pond basket?
When you cut the trees do you seal them?
Hi peter ! Do you manage to inject water when you are doing air layer, And how do you procede ?
They just get watered as normally. There is a gap at the top of the layer to allow water in.
Remember they don’t use that much water from the layer until it is separated
Thank you Peter ! Have a good summer !!
