    Couldn't have caught this video at a better time. Have a very large (and stunning) cherry blossom that is long overdo for major limbing towards Winter. Not a fan of waste so am using the larger wood peices for some woodworking projects & now I have another just as cool, if not even cooler option. Thank you for your time and energy.

      Nice! If you have a chance, try and pick an area right below some interesting features. What I’m noticing now in my potted tree is that it’s just too straight. I keep thinking I’ll have to cut it down further to make for a more interesting bonsai.
      On the other hand, it’s still super nice as a regular tree in a pot. It doesn’t have to be a bonsai.

    Cool! Nice show of blossoms! And the bees are happy with it as well!

    Good project. It has good bones for a nice trunk line

    herons is one of the best channels in my opinion, thanks for sharing that's a big cut - planning on doing a similar one on my brothers cherry tree

      I’m glad I started air layering with something that big. The smaller ones never seem to work as well. I think it’s because there are so many leaves above which caused the roots to generate so quickly.

    Looks like a Fuji cherry blossom

    Thats beautiful....i didnt know that you could air layer such a large diameter branch. I have a yoshino cherry that i have to remove a large couple of "sucker" branches on the bottom of the trunk. I figured, instead of just pruning them i could get a few other trees out if them. Your experience has inspired me...been holding off for a year or two ..going out right now to get some moss and rooting hormones... thanks!

      Excellent! It’s definitely a fun way to propagate a good sized tree!
      If you haven’t had experience air layering before, I would definitely recommend watching some videos from different people. Everyone has different little tips and tricks, and I don’t know if I explained it well enough.
      I hope it works for you! Good luck!

    Nice...of course you could do many air layering's off of what you have. I've tried 3 times to air layer a Wisteria with no luck...My new venture is to expose some of the root and since the trunk is actually a cluster of large vines I want to cut a 2 inch in diameter vine about a foot above the ground then dig up some root...maybe I'll have some luck! Good video. I also have some cherry bonsai..very rapid growers!

      Awesome! I’ve tried some cuttings from a nearby wisteria, but I doubt it worked. We had some colder than normal temperatures this winter, and so far can’t see anything in the pot. I also have one seed in the fridge… but to be honest I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do.

    So when you put it in the pot that was just moss and water? Like a moss and water bath? Thanks🙏🙏🙏

      @@1cleandude yes the first pot was just moss, but when I put it in the pot that you see standing on my deck, I had put some regular soil around it. I pulled it out of that pot this spring and untangled the roots, but I basically left it in the same soil/moss mess. I really should have put it in better soil, but now that will have to wait until next spring.

    This looks great
    What about air layering some more from that air layer ?

    • @willbreeze397
      @willbreeze397  8 місяців тому +1

      Yeah absolutely I could. On the other hand, I would be better off getting one from the original tree, since I still have it available. I think part of why it had such massive roots is because there were so many leaves up above the layering powering that root growth.
