Rooting Trident Maple cuttings

[@sharicochems6299]

Perfect timing I just ordered 5 trident maples to make a forest and I’m going to make cuttings off of mine to add to the forest! Thanks great video!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Perfect!

[@jaiprakashpathak8974]

Great to see you grow cuttings of different kinds with such success rate most of the times. 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes, thanks! I am quite pleased too and hope to create an overview of the most common species used in bonsai and how to root them using cuttings. Maybe I should try my hands at pines?

[@DeciduousSnurb]

I've known it was possible with Tridents for a while now, but seeing it done with such simplicity and success as you have is very inspiring. I can't wait to try cuttings of my one and only Trident Maple next spring. I tried air layering my Trident this year but it just callused and did nothing, I'll try your cutting method. Liked and Favorited this vid. 👍👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Layering tridents can be a hit-and-miss. I *think* wet substrate during layering reduces success with trident. But maybe different varieties have different successrates. I have had mixed results!

[@DeciduousSnurb]

Thanks for the tip Jelle, I use perlite with sphagnum moss in my layers, but yes I think it was too moist now that you mention it. @@GrowingBonsai

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

Great information as always! Thank you Jelle!!

[@GrowingBonsai]

My pleasure!

Luar biasa sekali stek untuk membuat bonsai

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you. I was happy myself too!

[@mrGalup]

Thank you very much for this super helpful video! I just took cuttings from a really nice Michael Steinhardt Trident so I’m hoping they take. I may have missed this but where do you keep your cuttings in the bags? Outdoors? Heat pad? Thank you for any response in advance!

[@GrowingBonsai]

I keep them outside in a well lit spot that only het a little sun at sunrise. Overheating of bags is a real risk

[@mrGalup]

Thank you very much!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Much better success rate this year - good stuff. I'm just about to do some cuttings now on my tridents so lets so how quickly they root?

[@GrowingBonsai]

They might. Just make sure you protect them in winter!

[@theoschmitt3037]

Das probiere ich beim nächsten Mal auch so. Meine Stecklinge sind alle länger gewesen.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Aber.. Du hattest doch auch erfolg?

[@theoschmitt3037]

@@GrowingBonsai aber längere Internodien....grins....

[@greenhawk1592]

Mooi! 🌳

[@GrowingBonsai]

Dank je!

[@devanmccarty1625]

Great video. Have you done any videos on developing these into bonsai? I have many young saplings and i am looking for guidance on pruning, training, etc. Thanks

[@GrowingBonsai]

I am afraid I am going to make one of one of the cuttings but it will take a bit of time... You can look into my root over rock videos if you want.

[@devanmccarty1625]

@@GrowingBonsai thanks. I'll check it out. I also found your video on developing trunks, which was very helpful.

[@drfreddave9020]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Would this work with sweetgum trees? In UK. Been trying to grow sweet gum from seed collected locally but had no luck

[@GrowingBonsai]

I have absolutely no idea what a sweetgum is.

[@drfreddave9020]

@@GrowingBonsai Sorry. I should have used the proper name. Liquid amber styraciflua Is native to America. Very maple like and has beautiful autumn colors. I have seen ppl queening up to have photos taken next to one in a local park. I am trying your method with Colchis Maple. Maybe be to late in season but worth a try

[@GrowingBonsai]

@@drfreddave9020 aaah, liquidambar. I onow the species but have never worked with them. They have a name of being dificult when doing rootwork so I would be hesitant to say they root as cutting

[@drfreddave9020]

@@GrowingBonsai Thanks for the information. I was thinking it was just my technique trying to grow them. Even suckers taken straight from the surface roots refuse to grow no matter what I place them in. I will try seed collection again. Love the azalea video

[@CDF936]

can yews grow from cutting?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes, absolutely: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuol5uka9GDfq8

[@BartoszBassa]

When you make a cutting and cut this years elongated branch then separate it into lets say 3 cuttings which one tip end or bottom piece would you say has the best chance to root?

[@GrowingBonsai]

I do not use the part that has not started to mature, so the very herbacious tip.

[@rqdikal]

Deine Videos sind super und bodenständig 💪. Hast du schonmal stecklinge von einer japanischen Lärche versucht ? Die werden bei mir nie was .

[@GrowingBonsai]

Habe ich, aber nur als winter stecklinge. Das hat mir nichts gebracht. Da diese Art sehr einfach uber samen vermehrert wirt, hatte ich eigentlich nie ein grund weiter zu versuchen!

[@BonsaiLearner]

Jelle, why don't you try in Hollywood, you have good looks, can easily get role of X man, seriously

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hahahaha, because I cannot sell tickets. Seriously. Who would want to see an old guy!

[@gallo82nd35]

Can you do the cuttings now? In August, what is the best time? I am out of Virginia btw.

[@GrowingBonsai]

I took them in early spring, right in the first big push of growth

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@GrowingBonsai]

;)

[@turkishdelight7083]

Would it be too late to try it now?

[@GrowingBonsai]

You can try. WOrst that can happen is you had a few tips cut early and die. I think it is fairly late, but I am now ~ 2 months before first frost

[@turkishdelight7083]

@@GrowingBonsai Thank you Jelle, it feels like Ireland has relocated to the south pacific so we might not see frost until mid Dec. The maples need a clip anyway so will give it a try and pop some in the green house as a control. I bought clonex on advice from another of your videos but had to go to one of those shops that sell the tents and lights, not sure they believed me when I told them it was for maples :D

[@greasylimpet3323]

Thanks for this video. I've taken cuttings with variable success. I think the main thing I did wrong was cutting them above a node instead of just below. I'll try again soon in the spring. Cheers from Australia

[@lgriffin8056]

I'm going to try now (end of August) with a few maple cuttings. If it works, great, if it doesn't at least I've tried. I'm a bit further north of Jelle but not by much.

[@hernandotorres1234]

Well done, I took a load of trident cuttings a couple of months back and they all promptly died 😂😂😂

[@GrowingBonsai]

hahaha, what were they telling you!?
