  • I have been using this technique now for over ten years and I have finally decided to share what I have learned in these videos. The technique is known as ‘sweating’ and is used extensively in arboretorial circles. I use for the following species: Cratageus, Prunus, and most of the Rosaceae family, do not use on evergreen species.
    I collect trees with as much root as possible, but I have put roots on trees that have not had any.
    Follow this procedure and your success rate in establishing your freshly collected yamadori will improve immeasurably.
    Collect as much root as possible
    Clear as much mountain soil but do not wash the roots
    Use the soil mix as shown below
    Clean cut the major roots as close to the trunk without spoiling the nebari
    Place the tree in the smallest container possible
    Ensure that the tree is well packed in the container
    Wire the tree securely in the pot
    Make sure that the cut branches are clean and NOT SEALED
    Saturate the soil
    Pile fresh sphagnum moss on the surface of the container
    Wrap the whole tree in a VERY large black plastic bag
    Place in a sunny position as the tree MUST GET HOT
    Humidity in the bag must be high at all times, mist spray daily
    After two or three weeks new buds will appear particularly around the cuts
    Ensure that they do not touch the sides of the bag.
    When the new shoots reach 5cm or 2” remove from the bag and protect from cold and wind, mist spray daily and keep out of direct sunlight.
    Keep watch for the new shoots hardening off, then you can feed with a very diluted solution; do not work the tree for the first 12 months.
    Good luck, please do not copy these photos or the text, and share the link freely.

    Thanks Tony for sharing your hard won expertise with us. I've been involved in bonsai and yamadori collecting for about four years now and its information like this that can make the difference between loosing potentially hundreds of years old good material or saving it successfully. Lots of people are reluctant to share this kind of information for fear they will somehow empower some kind of competition but instead I like to imagine how rich and vibrant the European bonsai community would be if all those badly collected tree's had actually been collected successfully. There would have no doubt been countless insanely beautiful tree's which had taken even hundreds of years to form for us all to enjoy at shows etc but which instead ended up on the rubbish heap for lack of basic knowledge, which is just a crying shame. Greetings from Ireland!

    Lots of good advice and tips I’ve seen previously and picked up from various other channels that you’ve stuffed into one excellent video specific to the UK.
    And you’re a John Martyn fan too ✊👍

    15:02 There is always one root that just wont cooperate! XD
    Great video though. I have a real urge to get out and find something that will be nice yamadori. I could do with a few more basics though.

    Thanks so much for this, the fresh buds on my collected hawthorn started to dry up so I did this and it's popped alot of new buds. Two questions:
    1. Can you do the same for evergreen e.g. yew trees?
    2. Do you remove the bag when the leaves have hardened off or at the end of the season?

    Great tips, gone and used it on a hawthorn today. I notice you don't mist the roots very often when potting - am I overestimating the risk of drying out?

    Is it safe to breathe in the sphagnum moss?

  • @MrBabysumo
    @MrBabysumo 3 года назад

    How much of the Spagnum moss did you use? was it mixed in or a layer on its own??

    • @TonyTickle
      @TonyTickle  3 года назад +1

      Nothing in the soil but a lot on the surface for humidity, make sure to watch the rest of the series.

    Please dont collect your own spag moss. It is very slow growing and actually protected in the UK
