Very good. I really dislike it when people record a video on how to set up stuff, but then don't show the results. Because of course that time hasn't passed yet. And people want to put online immediately that what they have recorded. But as a video for an audience it only makes sense if you have both the setup, and the result.
Excellent video, just the information I was looking for. I love trying to find things I can work on during the winter to get an early start on Spring. Thank you!
I love this informative video Jelle! Shows me where I went wrong with so many of my winter and summer cuttings - wish I could go back in time with this knowledge!
Neglected cuttings in small pots seem to age faster than those well-cared for. There is this myth-understanding ;) that bonsai need to have big fat trunks, where -in my view- expressions of age are more important.
Every time I prune a plant I stick the branch in the same pot and forget about it. I do it in early summer and they grow. It helps me because the trees are from seeds and have variations of leaves shaped, fall colors etc. It is so much fun. I started during the pandemic replanting seeds from one big Japanese maple. I have more than 100 trees and bonsais and I give some to friends.
This is off topic, but maybe in a future video you can explain when to leave a stub for die back and when to use knob cutters to prune off flush? I'm fairly new and have let all of my outside trees heal from collecting this past year. So I'm getting ready for my first structural pruning next spring. You do such a great job of explaining and demonstrating! Thank you!!!
That sounds amazing, Jelle 🤩💪 I’ll probably never stop trying propagate elm cuttings 😅😁 Stumbling block with this technique in my special case (successrate 0) - no garage, just balcony. I protect those trees which are most sensitive in a kind of coldframe. But not 100% frostfree as I guess. Anyway I’ll definitely give this one a trial with elm cuttings.👍 Thanks Jelle 🙏 Cheers 🙋♀️ Martina
One way to improve vigour and success when doing dormant cutings of hardy species, is to put the cuttings on a heated bed in a cool enviromnent. The soil is kept around 10°C to 18°C while the air is around 5°C to 8°C. It promotes callus forming while keeping buds dormant. Every species have there optimum temperatures and can range a lot. The main idea is cold heads with warm feet. Note also that light control is important to prevent early bud brake when days are getting longer. Aside, I saw some vine growers that were doing vine cuttings in pitch dark in a cave like envionment with success.
Ohw, so sorry to hear you have not run into my channel before! Buut.. On the upside.. Now there is a whole load of videos to binge on. Happy Holidays ahead?!
did the same with Summer cutting on some variegated trident cuttings. Works just as well. So pretty much all yr, as long as you give them the right environment.
Nice. I really struggle with that particular theme, I can only obtain new plants through airlayering. But I will keep trying. Not this year though, it is already december
Very interesting video. Thank you for making and posting it. I am going to try the same thing on ‘Folkert’s’ dwarf ginkgo cuttings. I also plan to substitute akadama as a sub-straight.
Very interesting video! I'm propagating Japanese Maples (heel cuttings) succesfully for years now but I never tried winter(autumn) cuttings until this year. Let's see. I'm going to try some more cuttings now, based on your experiences, as showed in this video. By the way, I'm not sure about using vermiculite as part of that soil mixture; for maples, I do not use it. Why? Because it's slightly basic whereas Japanese Maples prefer a slightly acidic mixture. Furthermore, since these little maples are not grafted on other, more strong-growing maples, I am not surprised they do not grow fast, at least in the beginning of their life. That should not be a problem in the long run when the rootball develop more and more. When replanting, my advice would be to use a slightly more acidic mixture (without vermiculite). Anyway, thanks for sharing. This was surely helpful!
@@GrowingBonsai Yes, well, there are obviously many ways. But, on the other hand: there's always room for improvement, isn't there? After more than 35 years I'm still trying to improve... 😉
I do not use it. Note, these are winter cuttings. The whole point is that the plant uses its natural ability to callus and start rooting in spring. It is a well-established propagation method.In summer I use rooting jelly.
Hello Jelle! Do you think this could also work in pure coconut fiber substrate? With the garden I've recently got, I've also "inherited" a beautiful deep red Acer Japonicum. As it has been very neglected, I will now prune it into shape and then try winter cuttings. I would be very pleased to receive an answer from you. ☺️
@@GrowingBonsaiThanks for your answer! So I'll leave the coconut fibers and try a more promising substrate. Since my Acer Japonicum is actually just a very closely related cultivar, I assume that your approach should also work with cuttings from my tree without problems.
What is been using to get the garbage out of my used soils is a cheap kitty litter fork scoop like a mini hay fork. Grabs all the junk but leaves the good stuff
I am trying to propagate two Japanese maple varieties from seed this autumn. Does that set me back a year or two, as opposed to cutting? When I lived where maples sprouted on the ground as volunteers, they seemed to develop pretty quickly. Thanks for this timely video.
keep in mind that seed from varieties does not produce the variety. They may look similar but should not be named such. Seedlings develop fast normally
There has to he a minimum temperature threshold for this to work. I don't know how to make it work in a Canadian winter, with little shelter from the elements for the trees.
Hey there! Thanks for another free class!! So you take cuttings in Autumn, but they stay "dormant" until buds start to swell... Does this mean you could also take cuttings let's say in early/mid February, just before the end of dormancy? Less time in the soil -> less time for fungus to grow? Just a thought.... Nevertheless, I'll definitely shave my Arakawa next weekend!!
Why not try if it makes a difference, autumn cutting vs (just before) spring cuttings. If you give it a try, let us know the results please. Best of luck!
Not sure. The winter period frost-free is a period during which the cut ends callus over, from which the roots will come out. It is a common hardwood propagation technique

I was going to write that, also thank you so much for the time, effort, and information put into the videos.
Just redo?
Great result.
👍
My problem is the trays of cuttings and seedlings everywhere around my garden. They are always the first to get neglected.

Yeah, I have done the same thing but.. You end up with So Many Trees!
This is truly magic
I’m doing this myself and it seems to be working … and what a cultivar to propagate so successfully! Well done 👍🏻
:) Thx.

Fair enough. For me the key is though to try and get good success with very simple setups that most people can put together.
Thanks for the video. Going to try some Maple cuttings in early November. I'll report back next summer.
looking forward!
Thanks for this, wish it had of come out two weeks ago when I pruned most of mine😂
sorry :)
Amazing! I love plant propergating, especially Japanese maple. Thank you, Jelle 😊
Me too!
Excellent. Thanks as always master Jelle!
Thank you too!

Pretty much
Nice. I really struggle with that particular theme, I can only obtain new plants through airlayering. But I will keep trying. Not this year though, it is already december
give spring propagation a try..I have a rooting maples cuttings video on my channel which uses the first flush of growth for it

Cheers Jelle will give it a try tomorrow.
Hope you had fun!
Also just a thought, I might try some mycorrhizal fungi for rooted cuttings … might help with
Root growth
I *think* most myco's wil lmake their way to the pot without our help :)
great tutorial, I’ll try this out this week. have you had any luck with other cultivars?
With many cultivars rooting cuttings works, so I would assume fall cuttings to work with many.
Good video, good timing. Well done!
Thank you!
Im a serial propagater Jelle 😂can never have enough JM, great video TY
I think I have reached the tultimate collection!
Oof! if only i could keep my balcony frost free. Guess ill have to layer or take cuttings of my arakawa in spring
Hm.. You can still try? Not sure how much frost you get?
@GrowingBonsai Denmark, so -12 at max, 🤔
Really helpful advice 👍
Glad you think so!
Good to know this works!
It does! Go and try

hi, I am not sure. I have poor results with coco fibres. :(
I also do not have experience with Acer japonicum cuttings!

So I'll leave the coconut fibers and try a more promising substrate.
Since my Acer Japonicum is actually just a very closely related cultivar, I assume that your approach should also work with cuttings from my tree without problems.
Good to see - did I get one of those by chance :)
Well .. Yes you did good sir :)
Worth a try 👍🌳
Hope you enjoy

Un grand merci pour le partage!
You're welcome!
Hey Jelle, may i ask where do you get your substrate? An online webshop you suggest?
And btw, great content overal 👌
vulcatec website has prelty decent pumice/lava/zeolith mixture. EVerything else I source in local hardware stores and pet stores.
Thanks 🍁🍁🍁

Hi Jelle, nice video. I’m curious why you don’t deep the cuttings in root hormone while your other vid in spring you did it?
The idea with this technique is that the trees callus over winter. Only in spring real growth start.
I wonder if I took a larger branch if it would root...?? Like an older wood piece???
@@JustcallmeDebbieB larger cuttings could work but it's usually the young cuttings with new growth and an active cambium layer that root best
It can be done but it takes longer to root without some aid of rooting hormone.
They might. Give it a try.
Will winter cuttings work from branches that have already lost their leaves, or is the rule that you cut branches before the leaves turn color?
I try to use branches that are dropping their leaves, so that are still active, but preparing to go dormant.
@GrowingBonsai Can organic substrate be used as a base mixture?
There has to he a minimum temperature threshold for this to work. I don't know how to make it work in a Canadian winter, with little shelter from the elements for the trees.
I keep them frost-free

I use a hormone but I have rooted pencil sized cuttings in winter
It is surprising how well it works!
How do you prevent mold?
Every week or so I open the bag for a bit to allow the leaves to dry. Water if needed and remove dead leaves
Last winter I took Maple cuttings and most struck. Winter Maple cuttings definately work.
Good stuff!
What about starting an airlayer at this time ?
I do not think it will have any benefits.
👍👌🙂
:)
nice
Thanks
I've tried to root cuttings and no luck.....
Sorry to hear that
Something to do tomorrow …
and? Did you?
