Massive apple air layer Separation

[@Bearbok]

Any day with a new bonsai bloke video is a good day

[@gayefanner731]

Ditto 🤩

[@rainproofjeans]

Gotta feel nice getting past this repotting! Tree looks great. Hope both trunks survive, and hope the shed cleanup went well.. Was cool to see the birds up around their nesting box as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrismarshall8321]

Who new that a cement mixer was a versatile bonsai tool. Not only can you style olive trees with them but also great for mixing soil. Brilliant sam.😂

[@rebeccahunter725]

This one has the makings of another exciting tree. As for cutting it all off, my thought is to wait until it starts to grow; this will allow the hormones in the branch tips to send the "Grow more roots" message down below ground. Also, leaving leaf mass over where you want the roots, will power them to grow. So long as the tree is sheltered from wind, sun and frost, I suspect it has a good chance of survival. (I have to add that I am a nurse, not a botanist!!)

Aussie Dave here Sam, nice work. 1of my mate at work last year 2023 tested me by giving me his apple seeds from the apple he was eating for lunch. Out of 6 seeds 4 spouted 😂. So last week I cut them back and I'll see what they do in spring 😮

[@birgittej5895]

I hope the big trunk survives. It will make for an awesome twin trunk. ❤ If it doesn’t, the small trunk will still be an amazing tree.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

A beauty Sam, I hope it does well!!

[@gayefanner731]

Lovely healthy roots n buds on the apple, well done. Very emotional to see your dear dogs 🥹 So happy you’re making plans for more filming, good news for all of us!! God bless you and your endeavours 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋‍♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️

[@chinookwind8535]

Made my day to see another video release by you. Thanks so much I've always wondered how big a tree can be airlayered

[@AlexBraunton]

Nice one Sam! That was really packed with roots mate. Great video 💪👍

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I love this one - absolutely fantastic future for this :)

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Now that was a great air layering of this massive trunk. Massive amount of roots that grew. Really cool.

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

That is going to look amazing! Fingers crossed the entire thing survives! And also that you don't completely lose your shit while cleaning. Look at all those cute puppy dogies!!😍

[@uppergorple]

Congrats on the mega airlayer. Nice one mate.

[@baldyeti]

Great work, Sam. Hope both trunks survive for you

[@jasongannon7676]

Good to see your air layering worked out

[@thebonsaiarea]

Nice to see the dogs Pac again, they have grown well

[@gayefanner731]

And multiplied !! 👏

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Nifty way of making your bonsai soil in the mixer.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

This bonsai mix is great for all potted plants I feel

[@tinjoesstation]

Sweet! Great video Sam! Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel better about trying my own air layers.

[@dougpetty6854]

Just latched on to the new videos Sam great... stop eating all the Tim Tams 😂

[@nerinat8371]

Your dogs are adorable, made me smile 😊 thanks for an awesome video

[@andersnrregren9087]

Thank you for the time used to make the videos for me

[@gayefanner731]

Cheers Anders, well said 👌

[@Brosef19]

I use basically the same mix. There’s a few other Bonsai people in the area , so getting the Kitty litter can be hard. Awesome to see you getting back into the Bonsai and videos.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@elliotdavies3555]

Love your work, ABB!

[@chrismarshall8321]

Great work and video sam

[@CoNkOrE]

I remember when you did that pot. Haven’t seen it in ages!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Fingers crossed for the other trunk to put out roots. Nice work getting this tree into the pot. Looks great!

[@bryanmorrion9503]

That mix is ingenious. You have sold me on it. 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@putty1961]

Good onya mate. Looks like the sort of crazy project I’d have a go at!

[@RussellDavies-d1m]

Bro i appreciate everything u do, stay strong Missed ya

[@davidmorgan3508]

Hahaha Sam, I remember your mixer when you tried to make a olive tree after a averlange when you your olive tree with bricks into the mixer 😂😂😂

[@Yardgnomer1]

Atlanta! (Pants) 30 minutes from where I’m watching right now! Thanks for sharing the video.

[@anditwasknownas]

Super cool trees and birds! I will try to put my hands in some of that New zealand zeolite. Cheers!

[@Yurup]

I always thought you had just two dogs.. That was a suprise!

[@Aussie_Roamers]

I saw the cement mixer in the thumb nail and thought you were working on your other tree that you threw in the mixer that time 😂

[@davebond8251]

Awesome tree Sam,good luck with it👍🌳

[@aN1njaKyzerz]

That's a Beauty!!! Good one sir!

[@mattaustralian6584]

Another great video Sam. Hope the whole tree survives, it's got some cool style about it. Cheers .

[@planterbanter]

Hope to see a property tour soon mate!!!!

[@johnrb9397]

G'day Sam.

[@joshhavermahl454]

Zeolite is great but it pulls a lot of nutrients out of the soil as it degrades so that might be good for natives who deal well with poor soils and have a thinner cambial layer but keep in mind for other trees you might have to go a little extra on the fertiliser front in the long term. Otherwise it's great stuff

[@robintodd3901]

I wondered if a whole tree was for the mixer again before watching.

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@hsvfanjan17]

Really hope the big trunk survives, it'd look so awesome now that there's only the interesting part of the trunk left after the separation. Btw Sam, how's your tree planting project going on your property? Always loved seeing the progress there

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Update on the tree planting soon

[@timanderson2493]

Excellent work Sam. Did you use the same technique on your E. camaldulensis that has featured on this channel? I was wondering how you achieved the multi trunk form.

[@cameronmiller4414]

From memory I believe that was a collected tree that had been run over many times with a mower. It's likely three sprouts off a big lignotuber that formed trunks, I don't know of anyone having success airlayering gum trees. Regardless that's one of my favorite trees and I'm looking forward to the update on that one when the time comes.

[@timanderson2493]

@@cameronmiller4414 Thanks for the insight. One of my favourites too.

[@Bits_Bobs]

would rooting hormones help or not really through winter not doing much anyway

[@xxoTUBBSoxx]

Hey Mate, did you have an issue with gnats in the soil from the bag? tons of reviews on Bunnings about this and brand others being infested

[@angry9901]

[@lil_treez_au]

Hey Sam, long time follower, first time commenting from my new channel :) I'm making my first video now, and I'd like to shout out the soil mix in this video, is it okay if I use about 30 seconds of footage from this (with full credit of course)?

[@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke]

Go for it!

[@lil_treez_au]

@@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke Thanks very much! I uploaded it this morning :)

[@chrisellis9689]

Hey Sam, good seeing you again bloke. Wow this apple tree is awesome, well done on a massive air layer 👍 hope doing okay mate keep on going bro
