He is a great source of wisdom, inspiration, and dignity. I'm lucky one to be able to work under his guidance sometimes.

Thanks. Yes, they are underrated because people are afraid of leave size.

@@Bonsaicrazy thanks 👍

Thanks Kennet. They are lovely species, sure. Sometimes mildew attacks the foliage but it could be prevented.

Thanks 👍

Tree is doing fine in wooden box. Possibly repot it into bigger one next spring and film it again. Thanks

Thank you!

@@KennetDeBondt thanks Kennet 👍

@@caiobonsaido4629 thanks

Thanks for watching and finding it useful, Xavier.

I did. No visible roots unfortunately. Moss stays there until spring and then I will see, eventually repeat the experiement.

Any sign of callous developing around the sticks? Could be a little early for roots I suppose

I haven't checked so throughly yet, but at first glance there's nothing.

Thanks, Sue. That's exactly what I have in mind: flat stone and a small hill of the substrate from which trees are growing.

Thanks😉

Thanks, Xavier. I hope it will look different. The fact is that with this kind of project, changes are dramatic in a short time.

I hope so! Thanks

Thanks, mate. I absolutely agree. Observing how the trees developed from tiny seeds over time is a great source of joy. Greetings

Hi Alex. Thanks for your kind words. Sure, the best moments are watching those trees change and develop. Greetings

Thanks, Sue. I think it is Rosa canina, collected from the wild years ago with much larger tree, hidden at its base.

It's hard to answer in general. It depends on your location. Future construction sites, to-be-developed areas, and farmland with grazing animals are the safest bets. Spades are handy.

@binbin9 thanks. I'm glad you like it. One of my personal favorites.

Hi Sue. Glad it was helpful! I guess it's worth trying. In the worst case, it will be a valuable lesson in developing the necessary skills for future projects. Generally, maples should be prone to develop roots when layered. Fingers crossed for your project. Let me know next summer how it went. Greetings

Good question. I will probably have to do that with the last layering project of this season. My thoughts are - if the layer produced roots, and you are able to store it in a wind free environment with temperature not falling below zero (or only minor frost up to -5°C) I would assume chances of survival are decent. In my experience, roots keep growing unti late autumn.

Ďakujem Marián 👍

I saw your video partly. I saw you had a lot of successful layers with those plastic balls. I like them, it seems to be fast work. Regarding spreading the roots. Maples are ok. Roots do fine if you are gentle. I never did Chinese Elm. I did our elm, and it was ok. Roots were not extremely fragile. I did a couple of gingos, large branches from garden tree, i couldn't tuch the roots since they were quite fragile. So, I think it is species specific. I guess the japanese maple is not considered best species for deciduous bonsai for no reason. They handle horticultural manipulations really well.

@@marosbonsai thanx for reply. I have bad luck with japanese maples, they all wilt and die for no obvious reason in my garden, so I gave up on them and I focus on our native maples.

@RO-Smart thanks for your kind words. I can confirm that this kind of propagation project is very enjoyable

@alexandros1973 Thanks for your compliments. I hope it helps people new to the process navigate through

Thanks! 😊

Nice job! How do you make a plastic ring? which material use? Thank you and congratulations for the channel. 👏

@danieledidomenico356 i use old platic advertisement borads. Material is called comatex, i think. I use very thin one, about 1mm

Thanks 👍

@marosbonsai as a beginner and living with lodgepole and limber pines, I am guilty of killing ar least 70% of my collected trees especially I'm gone 4days for work overtime. Early summer when I only installed the auto misting. They looks okay for at least 3months but died after.

@@virolfestrellado9425 Don't be afraid or discouraged. When you are starting, it is normal to lose some trees, sometimes half, sometimes more. The important thing is to learn your lessons. Improve aftercare, watering, shading, misting, feeding, bottom heat for freshly collected trees, etc. I know that being away from home for prolonged periods, especially in the hot summer is challenging. But by gaining experience and new skills, season by season you can improve your success rate, up to 90% or more. Greeting

@marosbonsai ill remember your advice Sir, actually this the second time I've rewatched your video. I love your tips , it encourages me to do hunting again. Thank you very Mr. Marks Sir. Take care

I'm not collecting conifers in general. So, I cannot tell if it helps or not. Most probably there will be a problem with light since deciduous in spring have no foliage, on the other hand, conifers must have needles in sufficient quantities at all times, so a black bag is not advisable. Keeping the tree in any moist environment, with water dispersion, could help. Also, bottom heat mats for conifers could make a difference in survival rate.

@@marosbonsai thanks a lot for your reply. I thought the bag technique would not work for conifers but preferred to ask. I will try this fall with some junipers I got from my neighbor but using an humidity tray to keep some moisture and keep then inside the house!. Thanks a lot! 🍻

I wouldn't recommend keeping oitside tree inside the house. Greenhouse or polytunel in the garden is better option.
