- I have many large maples on the nursery but this is one of the largest. It has also been the source of a number of air layerings. In this video I take off the most recent.

I love it when he keeps reminding us that he likes maples.I never get tired of it.
yeah . i think he has gotten me into maples now. my trident came looking just like a stick with 2 leaves and after 2 months it has grown so fast and lush
@@flipmode9236 I love maples, I try to get all my collections and different variety
two limb principle
this encourages me to air-layer that branch from my neighbors tree that hangs over my fence..
If its over your fence it should be fair game but I don't know the laws so...
No, it belongs to your neighbour .if you cut branches off your neighbour's tree you are by law supposed to give them back so you must ask your neighbour if you can do this even though it overhangs into your garden, the tree is still his property. This is The Law in the UK
Depends on country. In the USA you own the sky above your property to a certain point. (Depending on zoning laws) look up the court case about the air above grandcentral station new York city. The city had to allow the owner to sell the height above the building to developers. (So that they could build above the zoning laws but the owners of the historic building where compensated. The plan was to demolish it.)
This is the Law in the UK
@@margaretwalker7166 Lol no wonder the Americans kicked your ass
I would really like to see an update on this airlayer soon
me too!
You can see it in his latest tour video!

@@jankel1920 cool. Glad it survived.
@@rikdah Very Impressive. What does he water it with? I saw he used tree bark and Sphagnum Pete Moss from New Zealand in the pot. Im trying to do the same with a Pomegranate tree for my sisters home. Thanks!!!
"I think we are being too greedy". You had me cracking there sir =). Amazing attempt to turn this branch into a bonsai. Very much looking forward to updates in Spring. Best of luck!
I don't think it's bound for a bonsai, more a garden tree or more would have been hacked off. Once it thrives in the garden it will be another source of beautiful air layered bonsai. I think I would have put the tree at an angle and left the other branches till spring but the more cut off probably the better chance to survive.
Benderwii I was laughing about that too. Mr. Chan is one of a kind.
Thank-you for thinking of us fans. I'm glad you took the time to show us this! I look forward to next spring and an update on how it is doing.
You are the perfect teacher. You hold back nothing. Very natural.
What an amazing air-layering! Wondeful structure on it. This inspires me to attempt air-layering some large limbs off my crab apple tree next spring. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, after 3years...patience is the key. Thanks for sharing!
Sir ,it is always a pleasure to watch your videos . Learning so much from you . Would like to see the update in spring !
I love these videos ...Mr Chan is so informative. Thank you for sharing.🙏🏼
This gives me hope for my 4 inch branch I air layered this spring on my Jane magnolia. Its good to know the layer will survive the winter. Thank you, this was a great video.
The biggest air layered maple so far I've seen peter handled. Thx for sharing and can't wait for the next one..
That is a very big air laying, amazing. Also, I defolianted my mountain Japanese maple per your instruction earlier this year and it turned out great. I have since planted it in my yard. Thanks, you show your passion and that is great.
Just a word to say be careful to let the tree recover, you can't deflate acer palmatum every year as it will weaken the tree too much.
Well done Peter...very impressive to see such a giant Airlayering, hope it will survive
Thanks for sharing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I didn't think such a thing was possible. You learn something new every day!
Now THAT’S an air layering!! You have to love this man for all his knowledge. Thank you Peter
Very interesting video. I have only just started air layering but am fascinated by the size of branches that can be used. Thank you for making the video and I look forward to hearing how it progresses.
Good things don't come easy...thanks Peter, for show us this lesson!!
Have a wonderful Happy New Year 2021!!!
Thanks for sharing this super size air layering . Looking forward to seeing what happens next 👍🙏
Thanks for posting this! I wish I could grow Japanese Maples where I live, but the climate doesn't permit it. I have had great success air layering with Junipers though, I'm going to harvest one in a few days. It's only been 4 months but the root system is phenomenal! It's so good that I may not have to remove much foliage when I take it off the main tree.
Thanks for all the videos, they have been extremely helpful!
A job that he hadn't ever seen with a great maple.👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing video. 👍
Greetings from Barcelona😊
Thanks Peter for the lovely video i am keeping my fingers crossed
Love your vids,alway thought bonsai was hard but you simplified it so anyone can do it
I'm addicted to these trees everytime I go to a shop that sells them I buy one. Learning to produce cuttings so I can save some money and hopefully start a business
Great Videos! keep them coming. Thank you.
I can’t wait to see what develops from that gigantic air layering!
You could plant that as a separate tree and I would never know it was only part of a bigger maple.
I'm very excited to see how the project turns out, and what you'll do with it in the likely case that the branch lives!
I have a Magnolia air layer ongoing at the moment about 6 months in.
Hope to pot it next year, it has one strong root so far.
I would like to see how your Maple develops next year 👍
Enjoyed the lesson very much and thank you.
very cool air layering sample to see, learn a lot! thanks for sharing!
Wow Sir. Thanks for the video. Beautiful.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Las gracias hay que dárselas a usted por enseñar lo que sabe y compartirlo con todo el que quiera verlo y aprender. Gracias
Oh boy, I think you might be taking the biggest air layer of the year award with that one!
Nice video thanks for sharing 😊 beautiful sounds of 🐦
I can't wait for the update on this air layering in spring or summer next year, I hope I lives and is turned into something beautiful
I like how you have helpers to get down n dirty with the heavy lifting and all awesome team work
Monumental air layering adventure!
Wow that's amazing!
Your video description says that you, "have many large MALES in the nursery.." This explains Jack. 😁
Thanks - I just spotted this myself. Freudian slip methinks.
Jack is HOT!
Thank you for the video, I look forward to then.
10:44 Peter "into the car before anyone sees" Jack "you having laugh we've only got a mini" Peter "open the sun roof" hahahaha. This is going to be one XXXXL bonsai/tree. looking forward to its progress. Peter I am going to try this this with a 6inch maple 2nd trunk! Wish me luck.
Dont laugh Brian because back in 1969 when I had my first garden in Henley on Thames, my wife and I used to go to garden centres and buy large plants like Rhodos and Cherry trees 6 ft tall. We had a Triumph Herald with a sun roof and we chose that car so that we could carry large trees in it.
@@peterchan3100 Brilliant, bet you when you got home the broom style you had envisaged turned into wind swept!😂
Wow what a lovely tree , I hope it was strong enough to make it , awesome video, 👍.
Peter, in any future videos could you please help out novices like me with the best time to begin and end an air layering. It's a fascinating concept and even very basic experience (which I don't have) is often taken for granted. When things get back to normal I would love to visit Herons, thanks again for the videos.
wish i could visit a nursery as great as yours.
Thanks for sharing - will soon sever my Japanese Maple air layer - but it's considerably smaller than yours!
you are such a lovely man and I love your t-shirts!!!
Wow, thats amazing! I currently have 24 Himalayan Birch tree air layerings going (Im in Australia so its spring time) and some of them are over 2 meters tall. I got a bit impatient and cut one off last week to see how it would go on its own, but a couple of days ago we got a heat wave so it doesnt look like it will survive. So the others are staying on a bit longer until Im sure they can survive the heat.
I looked up this video after watching you guys repot the tree and noticed I commented on this video. So to update, all my clones survived and were planted between 6 and 12 months after potting up. The have all been in the ground for at least a year now and most of them are very healthy. Four of them died last summer during the heat when I was a bit slack with watering, but they were the smallest samples that hadnt grown deep roots yet. All my big ones are doing fantastic and with spring just arriving have all just came back to life with fresh new leaves.
it’s going to be magnificent in the spring
I would like to see how it is thriving..love the video!👍🏻
Thanks Peter !
That is really amazing. Makes me wonder if I could do that with a linden tree that I am getting from my city. Not sure if I want to pay a tree moving company to dig it up if next spring maybe air layer the trunk.
I hope he makes it! I have to do this next year to two of my trees.
"I think we are being too greedy" ... "I love Maples"
Could you please show us how you air layered a branch so big? I would love to learn how myself.
The same way you'd layer a small branch... He's done videos on it and there are countless explanations on line.
This is really great. Will be fun to see how things develop with this project.. Can you show how you did this large air layering on another specimen?
I have done many bigger than this one!
Fantastic
Wow..is still a big specimen in the greenhouse...I'm sure it will adapt
Can you make an updated video on this tree's progress?!
Thanks for your help Jack 🤣
Just up my alley. I tried on an eastern red bud tree but after a year no roots formed on a 5 inch diameter trunk about five feet above the soil so I aborted the attempt I used vermiculite as the root medium the vermiculite was still damp when I removed the sheet plastic bandage . You said it took 3 years to develop roots . VERY GOOD. I will try another attempt for three years. Thanks for sharing your experience
try using sphagnum moss instead of vermiculite. I buy it in bulk bags (1/1/2 cubic ft.). Maybe try a smaller branch first unless you have already successfully air layered a redbud and know what to expect. Also, Peter just uses clear plastic, which seems to work, but it seemed like my air layerings rooted faster after I covered them with black plastic. I still use clear plastic for the actual layering, but then I cover the whole thing with a second wrap of black plastic. It keeps the roots dark and I can easily undo the black plastic to check the progress. Good luck.
@@taitjones6310 thanks for your advise . I have had little successful experience in airlayering . Only wi th h a 50 mm dia. pear branch taken in August 2 years ago . Didn't use any rooting hormone .. roots grew in peatmkss . Tried it many times on apple trees with no sucess . Tried it with open cup and fully enclosed translucent and clear plastic wrap . Pack several with damp foam rubber. No go on the apple . I guess I will have to bite the bullet of expensive sphagnum moss. . Tried it numerous places on a mulberry tree the branches leaves wilt with im n a day. . The pear tree I only scraped the cadmium layer off on about 2/3 of the circumference. I will keep at it . Do I pack the sphagnum. moss tightly or loosely within he plastic bag / envelope
U r a legend.
That is going to be a huge Bonsai. Almost looked like it could have been a bridge, then it would have fit the greenhouse. Lol
Edward Scissorhands could learn a few things from you Peter. Good luck with the tree. Thanks
This is going to be very interesting. If it works for you, I'll be doing this to a few trees around my house.
Gosh he's fearless love his zeal I didn't know an airlayering of a branch that big would be successful. I wonder if it's success is dependant upon the variety of tree to a great extent mores than medium used.
After watching your techniques, I decided to try air layering on ACER, Magnolia, and wisteria, most were successful apart from the ACER, which its leafs died after 3 months, don't know why? Started all in Mid April was this too late for ACER? Can I leave the others in the Moss over winter? (I would never have thought to use Sphagnum moss, top tip)
Wow that's one big cutting...
Next time you pass by this 🍁 give us an update Master Peter.
i didnt know this could be done amazing
I would love an update on this come end of summer
I like this guy
I'm very curious about the plans you have with it. Will you train it into a bonsai? It's definitely worth a video.
Thank you. I have learned a lot although my Japanese maple is not as mature.
World record air layer 😳
Legend
Really wanna see the update on this one
Dear Mr. Chan.
I’m glad to be one of your follower. This video is simply overwhelming. I want to ask you if you have made an air layer on a beech. An if so, what can you tell us as remarkable tips?
My very kind regards
Fagus or Beech is easy to air layer. Do the same as with Acer - start the air layer in April and it might take a bit longer than a Maple - sometimes may take 2 seasons to root.
@@CarlosSierralta 2 years
peter chan thanks again. My kind regards, mr. Chan
Did it survive? Also, where can I buy the same sphagnum moss that you buy? Cheers from Barcelona!
What time of year is it ok to start air layering a small maple? I live in Taiwan so the climate is fairly tropical. The temperature right now is 14 degrees.
Does it survived? Interested and excited...
Hi. I don't know if this is the right place, but is there any advice on Citrus bonsai? Inc soil, feeding, shape, etc etc?. Would love to see a PC video on this 😊
impressive
Those planes!!!!!
O my.......just, ....... O my......👀💖💖
i used 70%akadama and moss 30% it work well
Peter, how is the maple doing now in your greenhouse? Has it survived? Cheers from Virginia, USA
Dear Peter! When is the best to start the air layering in Central Europe?( Maple of course:)) ) I mean when I should put up the little bag with the spagnum moss? Late February, March or later? Thanks a lot in advance.
Would it have done any harm to temporarly plant it into a pot slanted or even horizontally, only until the roots have developed enough to be planted directly into the ground outdoors?
Yes - you can do that.
@@peterchan3100 thank you for your advice
It's a shame that you didn't realize it was too tall before you did most of your pruning, you might have decided to keep some of the lower foliage you had earlier cut off. Amazing work, can't wait to see a follow up (I hope).
This guy is the Bob Ross of Bonsai!
Hi Peter, a question. You could probably have made two dozen airlayers from the upper branches that would have a resonable thickness. I guess you could have grown beautiful start material from it within 2 or 3 years. What made you decide to airlayer this thick branch and discard the rest? I'm just curious. Thanks!
Yes I could have air layered the upper portions but I did this large one just as an experiment, Mind you - the experiment is not over. I will wait to see how the roots develop.
Great video .. wow, 3 years! But also seems a waste, why not take air layers from the top first (looked like 20+ there!), and then the big one in the video? It’s going to be a lovely bonsai all the same, can’t wait to see the final result in a few years.
i would have never ever ever ever ever thought that would be enough of a root system to support so much of a tree. so, yeah.....
How do you make a nice nebari on this tree? (or other trees)
How bitter are the winters there? It is also very dry here.
So it's been a year since this video was made, did the Maple survive?! Really want to know! Also wondering if Canadian sugar maple and Manitoba Maple could be air layered? I was thinking I'd like to try
ua-cam.com/video/cpmsFwsfYS0/v-deo.html
Wow, fantastic air layering.
Peter, are there any Maples that do not air layer well?
Some varieties of Maples are easier to root than others - Easy ones are Shishigashira; Benichidori; and just to ordinary Acer palmatum or Mountain Maple. Difficult ones are Sango Kaku and Seigen but this is just my experience - I could be wrong.
Thanks very much Peter.
What about the variety Seiryu and Osakazuki?
@@dc9515 - I have not tried it on those varieties. So cannot give a view.
@@peterchan3100 Thank you Peter, great channel, I enjoy watching 😀
@@dc9515 These ones are easy
Why do you hide your sheds Peter? What are you up to lol
A lot of air sphagnum moss grows in Ireland.
I have one question and I really hope to get some response, I have a tall Shindeshojo tree and It has a lot of thick branches and I was thinking if it's possible to do air layering from each branch all at the same time.
No problem - you can safely do multiple air layerings from that tree at the same time.
@@peterchan3100 thank you sir 🙌🏼
