Cheers m8, he likes to be in the shed with the heater on lol

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Wow!!! Those hawthorns really took off for you. Super cool! Nice the way you did the beech. Now that one will look just as cool as the WHs. Excellent.

Great videos Ryan, I plan to do some air layering this year. Thanks for the tips.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Robert, good luck with them m8

[@HeathHands]

Did the beech make it and produce roots from the callus?

[@houghtonbonsai]

i don't know yet m8, it will be another year before i touch it as it has just being removed earlier this year ;)

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌

[@houghtonbonsai]

cheers

[@kevinwilkes5969]

Did you put that in rose and shrub with grit? Nice job bud.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Yes m8 its what i use for most of my raw material

[@andrewclack4881]

with that method dont you get a sandy beech! 🤣🤣🤣

[@houghtonbonsai]

Pmsl Andrew ;)

[@Yurup]

A lot of big beeches on this channel.

[@houghtonbonsai]

Yes m8, got them for nothing lol

[@mick681]

A great video. Brilliant tip about the callousing. Thanks for the info. I an going to air layer a crab apple. Is it too early to do it now?

[@houghtonbonsai]

Thanks Mick, I usually wait until May but i know some ppl put there’s on early

[@uppergorple]

Nèver seen that before! Interesting. Would sphagnum moss help?

[@houghtonbonsai]

It was sphagnum moss I took off David, so thought I would use what I used in the hawthorns as it seems to work. But you could put it back into sphagnum moss if you wanted
