    Great video. We have a 10 year old trident maple in the garden and I think this spring I am going to do some air layerings on it. If I look at your videos on these trees it looks like you can have hours and hour of fun with them. Thanks for your inspirational videos. Love them.

      Hours and hours is an understatement! It’s my purpose.
      Tridents are not the most predictable when it comes to air layering. Sometimes they take like you won’t believe, other times they simply callous over. Late spring is the best time. Good luck!

    Terry, thank you again for an amazing video that teach us, not only about drafts, but a lot of things about decisions. I have one question in case you can answer me. Is it useful to scrape a little bit the surface of the branch you are going to graft? Sometimes I have seen it can helps to join the branch to the main trunk. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  Год назад +2

      Thanks Pablo. In my opinion it depends on the branch you’re grafting with. If it has barked (gone brown) or lignified then you can scratch to reveal the cambium and fusion happens faster. If the branch is green there is no need to scrape. Either way scraping or not scraping both can fuse. Simply tying 2 maple branches together will result in the fusing eventually b

  • @devanmccarty1625

    Great video. Curious as to why you use approach grafts rather than thread grafts.

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks Devan. I actually mostly use thread grafting but approach grafts is a valid technique. Knowing how to do both can be useful particularly when dealing with very thick trunks and it is much more difficult to drill through. Sometimes an approach graft is just easier to perform than thread in the circumstances. Success using either is pretty much the same, depends on the species.

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  5 месяцев назад

      Hey Mark. When you repot, that’s the best time to do this. The tree’s roots are exposed so it facilitates inserting new roots. If you’re not repotting then just creating the space needed to insert the small trees/rooted cuttings you’re using.

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks! I’ve not tried then. I don’t think it’s a good idea though because sapflow will be little and thus the graft is unlikely to take. It’s better in spring throughout summer.

      Thanks very much! Thread grafting is usually only done in early spring. Approach grafting can be done any time during the growing season. Also, approach grafting does not require drilling a hole through the tree.

      @TerryErasmusbonsai  Год назад +1

      Hi Adam. Thanks. When the whip is so green I don’t think it’s necessary. If the whip has barked up then it would be good to scrape to expose the cambium.

    So you do not strip the whip to expose cambium before placing it in the notched spot?

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  Год назад

      You can Kevin. Especially when the whip is lignified (the bark is brown). When it’s this new and green there is essentially no bark to speak of so I don’t really feel it makes much of a difference.

    • @TerryErasmusbonsai
      @TerryErasmusbonsai  Год назад

      It might or you might lose the branch. I think it depends. In my experience if the branch you see grafting with is still green then it’s unnecessary to scrape the bark. However try for yourself and see if you see any difference.
