Improving the success of collected Yamadori Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- I have been using this technique now for over ten years and I have finally decided to share what I have learned in these videos. The technique is known as ‘sweating’ and is used extensively in arboretorial circles. I use for the following species: Cratageus, Prunus, and most of the Rosaceae family, do not use on evergreen species.
I collect trees with as much root as possible, but I have put roots on trees that have not had any.
Follow this procedure and your success rate in establishing your freshly collected yamadori will improve immeasurably.
Collect as much root as possible
Clear as much mountain soil but do not wash the roots
Use the soil mix as shown below
Clean cut the major roots as close to the trunk without spoiling the nebari
Place the tree in the smallest container possible
Ensure that the tree is well packed in the container
Wire the tree securely in the pot
Make sure that the cut branches are clean and NOT SEALED
Saturate the soil
Pile fresh sphagnum moss on the surface of the container
Wrap the whole tree in a VERY large black plastic bag
Place in a sunny position as the tree MUST GET HOT
Humidity in the bag must be high at all times, mist spray daily
After two or three weeks new buds will appear particularly around the cuts
Ensure that they do not touch the sides of the bag.
When the new shoots reach 5cm or 2” remove from the bag and protect from cold and wind, mist spray daily and keep out of direct sunlight.
Keep watch for the new shoots hardening off, then you can feed with a very diluted solution; do not work the tree for the first 12 months.
Good luck, please do not copy these photos or the text, and share the link freely.
Hello, tôi là người đam mê cây bonsai, nhìn bạn làm tôi rất ngưỡng mộ ,cảm ơn bạn chia sẽ kinh nghiệm ❤❤❤
Thanks Tony for sharing your hard won expertise with us. I've been involved in bonsai and yamadori collecting for about four years now and its information like this that can make the difference between loosing potentially hundreds of years old good material or saving it successfully. Lots of people are reluctant to share this kind of information for fear they will somehow empower some kind of competition but instead I like to imagine how rich and vibrant the European bonsai community would be if all those badly collected tree's had actually been collected successfully. There would have no doubt been countless insanely beautiful tree's which had taken even hundreds of years to form for us all to enjoy at shows etc but which instead ended up on the rubbish heap for lack of basic knowledge, which is just a crying shame. Greetings from Ireland!
Fantastic video, thank you! I can't wait to get out of lockdown and use your techniques.
Lots of good advice and tips I’ve seen previously and picked up from various other channels that you’ve stuffed into one excellent video specific to the UK.
And you’re a John Martyn fan too ✊👍
Excellent video. Very informational 👏🏼
Great digging sir... It has form already
Great thx for the video 👍
15:02 There is always one root that just wont cooperate! XD
Great video though. I have a real urge to get out and find something that will be nice yamadori. I could do with a few more basics though.
Great vid. What soil do you use?
Time for a recap !
Great video mate. Have you got link for those training pots? Im in Australia and cant seem to find the plastic bonsai style training pots anywhere.
Hi Tony i should imagine the Bury Bonsai show is on hold for this year. Heres hoping you can keep it going, nice video man stay safe
stuart rose hi Stuart, I have a show in the planning for 2022
Chiltern Bonsai are attempting to do a virtual show, perhaps Bury Bonsai can do the same
Is it safe to breathe in the sphagnum moss?
👍👍👍👍👍
Great tips, gone and used it on a hawthorn today. I notice you don't mist the roots very often when potting - am I overestimating the risk of drying out?
Ollie Sargent timing as this time of year dry rooting is no worries
Thanks so much for this, the fresh buds on my collected hawthorn started to dry up so I did this and it's popped alot of new buds. Two questions:
1. Can you do the same for evergreen e.g. yew trees?
2. Do you remove the bag when the leaves have hardened off or at the end of the season?
Look at my blog for aftercare www.yamadori.co.uk
How much of the Spagnum moss did you use? was it mixed in or a layer on its own??
Nothing in the soil but a lot on the surface for humidity, make sure to watch the rest of the series.
@@TonyTickle 🙏🏽 Thank you
Please dont collect your own spag moss. It is very slow growing and actually protected in the UK
