I hope that you enjoyed the video today.
Keep Planting!
Wow, great job! I like it when people experiment on their own because, what may not work for one just may work for another!
I do really enjoying experimenting to find out what works and what doesn't and sharing it with everyone
Wow…you did great! I’m going to go into my woody backyard to look for trees that can make bonsai. Thanks so much for sharing!
You are welcome! Please let me know how you get on with it. I am really getting into bonsai these days
You created the video I needed, so thank you! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoyed watching. I like before and after propagation videos. Looks like you have a great outdoor space for seasonal planting!
Thank you! A nine month long journey and I am happy with the results.
I tried to plant some herb seeds earlier in the spring with that goal in mind. Wish me luck 🤞
Glad it worked 👍🏽 Not sure how much experience you’ve had with air layering trees? Oaks a amongst the hardest (if not the hardest) to air layer. I’ve not seen that much cambium removed for air layering - ever. In case the medium to almost if not airtight enough it can go weeks if not months and stay wet (moist). By cutting lower, it would be much easier to pot, and be more stable in the pot until the roots are established. Over time the stump will decay naturally. But great job 👏
It was off to a great start but I am afraid it didn't make it through the Incrediblely hot summer
This is amazing work. Good job!
Thank you!
Amazing! Gives me hope since I air-layered my oak in the spring time. The leaves sprouted but I think I’ll wait until next spring when hopefully I’ll cut the trunk and pot up 🤞
Best of luck with it!
@@RootsReady Thank you 🙏
You may want to prune some of the foilage because it will help the roots cope better less load on them trying to feed the leaves also spray the leaves to help if weather is hot and keep out of direct sun good luck enjoy your blogs
Thank you for those great tips! I think I will prune the leaves this week. Thanks again!
Wow!! Amazing video. Nice and clear, easy to follow. Thanks so much for posting.
You are welcome!
This is sooo cool! I’m so inspired to try this asap. Thanks so much for sharing your process and results.
Thank you!! Please try it and let me know who it goes for you
I think my only suggestion would have been to use 100% sphagnum with rooting powder. But it appears the tree did well good for you! My question is what species is that oak tree?
Great tip! This was an English oak, if in not mistaken
Is the tree still alive over year later? I'm dealing with the exact problem as you, for you to decide layering this!
Hi there, unfortunately I lost the plant when I went on vacation and it succumbed to the heat wave last year. Before that, it was doing very well. I am working on another one
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent work my man!! Excellent 👌🏼 very happy for you, I like taking on hard tasks like this too not quite sure I’m as successful haha.
Speaking of oaks I remember putting a couple of handfuls of acorns in an old bucket last November and dropped a load of soil in it and completely forgot about it until April when I went in my shed! I thought my son was doing some weird experiment again until I remembered 😅 it looked like a bush in the bucket and then I remembered… pretty much all of the acorns germinated. Not quite sure what I’m going to do with them all though.
😂😂 it sounds like the start of a mini forest bonsai to me
@@RootsReady yes I’m thinking exactly that !!
Well done, I had a similar result with a lilac which appears to have "taken" too. Has your oak tree survived the 23/24 winter?
It was doing really well and started to branch out but unfortunately, I went on holiday and lost it due to the heat wave we had last year 😞
@@RootsReady Ah, shame
Maybe try your hand at bonsai!
I am really enjoying the art from so it's something I would love to do
Well, I can't wait to see how it goes if you do!
Any updates? Did it survive?
Unfortunately it didn't make it after I went away on holiday for a while
How is that an oak!
It's an English oak
