Hey, thanks for this very interesting and well structured video ! I just died out a tree and this video helps me a lot to higher the chance that this tree will survive, even if it is late summer and its a Juniper. Btw in another video I heard sphagnum moos could be a good growing material in this cases too. Best greetings from Berlin
@TerryErasmusbonsai2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Phix! Sphagnum moss is a great medium yes however you need to understand what the objective is. For air layering its the best as it holds a lot of water and considering the bag or container typically used for layering is small it will hold enough water till you can make it back and wet it again. However in this case sphagnum moss is the last medium I would use because it hold so much water. At the moment the faster the drainage of the medium the better as this introduces much more air into the rootzone and encourages healthy root development. I would encourage you to use a very fast draining medium for your juniper too. This would be pumice, hyuga, lava, crushed stone etc. The less water retentive the better.

@TerryErasmusbonsai2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Bob. I would rather have suggested you cut back in Autumn. This will produce the most back budding on the tree. Alternatively late spring. Did you not get a lot of bleeding after you cut it in Spring? Regardless it’s done. Japanese maples are not as strong as Chinese maples but you should still be able to collect (wait until buds swell) your next spring. I’m sure the directions I have can be followed as is and should give you a positive outcome. Good luck! 👍🏻

@@TerryErasmusbonsai hi terry, i cut back the portion blocking the gate from opening after it was in full leaf, and i didn't pay attention if there was any bleeding. but it has put out new growth this summer. the other thing i am thinking is to run a shovel around it now and root prune while still in the ground to decrease the shock of digging it up in spring? the trunk is 3 inches diameter, so it seems to be a substantial tree, and there must be a tap root under it by now. i have 3 others that need to come out if this one fails...

Excellent explanation, I have one question, is it possible to make a bonsai from an olive tree, which is more than 70 years old, about 5 meters high, how drastically should the roots be cut and the height shortened? I'm thinking whether I should dare? What should I watch out for perhaps? Let me mention that the olive tree was already taken out of the ground because it should have been thrown away. I will be grateful for any advice.😊
@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching and for the question. The age and height is not a problem, many olives I have collected are older than this. Cutting the trunk is fine, you would just need to carve the stump afterwards. What I am not sure of is how severely you can reduce the root system as it depends on the stored nutrients. However if you do not cut them aggressively you will not fit the tree in a pot. If the tree was destined for the bin then you stand to lose nothing. Do what needs to be done and hope for the best.

To be honest Jeffrey, I don’t fertilise them 🫣. However under normal or best circumstances you should feed them throughout the growing season with a well balanced fertilizer although you might want to go pretty high on the N value though. I prefer using organic fertilizer but in a farm setting this is tough due to all the critters which steal it. So yes, slow release chemical would be good too.

This process is what scares me most in Bonsai - i think i'm about to ruin some great great material, but i'm going to try it anyway - thank you for your advice!!

Bogdan, thanks for watching. I’ve been doing this for many years now, so I am not nervous when I dig the tree up as I know it’s going to be fine. However there is always a risk, no matter your amount of experience. You may kill trees along the way but I think if you follow these easy steps you will reduce the risk, and one should always see how you can reduce the risk as much as possible.

Would Mica or a wood pot be better? I just pulled out a Japanese maple. It’s soaking now with willow leaves

I wouldn’t be able to say Scott. I have usually used wood, but as I don’t have access to mica pots I’ve not used them. Not sure if there is much difference between mica and plastic, plastic I’ve used and it’s fine but wood allows me to build something for the specific tree.

Great video thank you ! What was that tablet you added to the water for root recovering?
@TerryErasmusbonsai2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. It’s Disprin, or also know as Aspirin. It’s medicine taken for headache, pain, to reduce inflammation etc. It contains acetylsalicylic acid. This is why one adds willow branches, however the medicine contains the same acid extract so it’s easier to use the tablets.
