What you need to know about creating interesting bonsai with root cuttings.

[@W9SL9Y]

Thank you for the time and effort in making these types of videos, great knowledge shared.

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks so much Wesley. Yeah, sometimes videos such as these are more convincingly done over several seasons.

[@DroiDolf0]

Very interesting. I want to do this with an outgrown Yew in the garden. Pick a root and place it in a pot and so it hopefully grows. Thank you for sharing this experiment. Great video!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Certainly, give it a go! Be sure to protect the root though so it does not dry out. Then you can expose it over time.

[@DenHerLaMenass]

Bravo monsieur !

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thank you 🙇🏼‍♂️

[@sueb1317]

Really helpful Terry! Explains a lot as to why my previous elm root cuttings failed. Will definitely use your techniques next time. Will have to experiment with some of my other suckering varieties. So much potential - Thank you!

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Glad it was helpful Sue. As always, thanks for watching and for commenting. Good luck with your experiments.

I really enjoy the creative process and introspect

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Thanks so much for that comment.

[@shivangnisharma9448]

What a great idea, it’s known as pride of India, here, I have 3 colours, now I know what to do with interesting roots in next repotting

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Correct! Pride of India. That’s also how I know them but it seems it is often referred to as Crepe Myrtle. Yes, they come in many colours. Fabulous, good luck with your root cuttings.

[@tumizoomi202]

[@tsukubai081808]

Interesting video. Are there any other species with which this can be accomplished?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Great question! I don’t know what the limits are to be honest. I think most deciduous species should do this and especially something which suckers easily.

[@tsukubai081808]

@@TerryErasmusbonsai Thanks for the reply.

[@blackpine34]

can you make a video of a black pine that is not Shohin pls

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Sure! I have many. See my Japanese Black Pine playlist here: Japanese Black Pine kzbin.info/aero/PL07aoEnuQCWNIeay0aTQlKIv9KXW2wuri

[@blackpine34]

I watch all of it but I will wait for more

[@Clayneee]

Is this possible also with the japanese maple rootstock?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

I believe it will be but you will need to protect the root from drying out so either wrap with Parafilm or protect with sphagnum moss.

[@ScottTheExperimentalist]

What kind of tree is that?

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Crepe myrtle or Lagestromeria indica

[@ScottTheExperimentalist]

@@TerryErasmusbonsai a lovely species! I’ve collected a number of woody suckers to try to root and get going into bonsai

[@TerryErasmusbonsai]

Great! Good luck with them.
