Sorry about the music, just press mute and pop the radio on 🤣👍

Hello thank you for your message, soil should be ok. The only problem with it is the microbes that live in soil can can be problematic to rooting. See you you go for a month, you can carefully open it up to see if callusing (swelling of cambium) has started at the cut and where it will root, if nothing swap for moss. Good luck keep me posted.

@@Bunjinboy1 thank you for your reply unfortunately I look at it today and the branch I'm using looks like it's dieing the leves are dehydrated never mind I may pick up some stagnant moss and try again . Thank you

@@debradurling317 that will be the soil not giving enough moisture to the cut section. Get some moss and try again. 😊

Hi I have not done a 6inch bit but last year I did two 4 inch bits. I is off and flowering now and other did not root but still growing ok. I plan in a week or two to open it up check the callus is ok and reapply hormone and fresh new moss and hope it roots this year. All the time the section above is active it should grow and root. So as long as your 6ft length has foliage above the cut then it should root it may be slower to do so but the better the foliage grows above the better your chances so don’t prune any tendril growth while the air layer is on progress. Good luck and keep me updated. Thank you Andy.

I have a tiny one and that flowers and fruits as well, good luck with it and I hope you have many years of enjoyment.

I keep the mix open often 50% akadama 30% pumice 20% grit. You can use a loam based compost but add 50% grit or pumice. Good luck with your trees. Thank you for watching.

@@Bunjinboy1 , Thank you for your reply ,and thank you for the bid of good luck !

That was quick today. 😊Hope your well thank you for your continued support.

Thank you for your kind comment

We all do this but with regular work you will end up with very good trees. Thank you for watching.

Hi yes now is a good time to sort out the air layers. Once potted up keep undercover until they start to leaf and frosts have passed.

@@Bunjinboy1 thank you Andy, I have a covered pergula in tbe garden, if i pop them under that will it do the trick?

@@RickieMurray360 yes that’s perfect.

нет, сердцевина древесины в любом случае сгниет, так как в нее попадет вода, но с деревом все будет в порядке, поскольку окалина защитит живой материал.

Thank you for watching Alex.

Thank you for watching.

Hi yes there are pictures from the kifu room. Thank you for watching. Andy.

Hello. Best time is just after flowering as the leaves harden off. Good luck if you give it a go. Andy
