BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD PART 27-AIR LAYERING


Title:
BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD PART 27-AIR LAYERING

Description:
AIR LAYERING IS A TECHNIQUE TO MAKE ROOTS GROW FROM A BRANCH ON A TREE. (MY APOLOGIES FOR THE POOR QUALITY VIDEO AFTER THE FIRST SECTION-THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND SECTION ARE CLEARLY SEEN AT THE END)ONCE THE ROOTS HAVE SPROUTED, YOU CUT THE BRANCH OFF BELOW THE ROOTS AND PLANT IT AS A BONSAI. THIS METHOD IS GOOD FOR PLANTS THAT DON'T DO WELL WITH CUTTINGS OR SEEDS, AND IT GIVES YOU A NICE THICKENED TRUNK RIGHT AWAY. I HAD BAD LUCK WITH THIS METHOD WHEN I LIVED UP NORTH (PHILA.) BUT I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE TROPICAL TREES HERE IN FLORIDA WILL TAKE TO THIS METHOD.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROGRESS OF THE AIR LAYERING DONE TO PROPAGATE BONSAI. THINGS DID NOT GO AS HOPED FOR, BUT THAT MAY BE BECAUSE OF A LACK OF TIME ALLOWED, OR MY OWN INEXPERIENCE WITH THE PROCEDURE.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).
BONSAI-EASY NEW METHOD-PART 1 OF 3
Making, raising, and caring for bonsai is easy if you use the new soil-less method which these video clips will show you. Your trees will grow and mature faster than with the traditional method that uses messy soil. I have been using this method since 1985 and have had great results. I started using this method in Philadelphia, and then when I moved to Florida I continued and find it is the best method for me. The traditional method works with slow, tedious growth, and wiring of trees. The new method uses directional pruning and fast growth to make mature looking trees in far less time than the old traditional method. There are so many advantages to the new method, I wonder why anyone would use the old, slow, messy, and difficult traditional method. Take a look at these three videos and you will see how much fun and how easy it is to become a bonsai grower and producer. Fun, fun, fun. Easy, easy easy. I have found the less you fuss with the trees and let them do their natural thing, the better they grow, and the easier the entire process is. You need not over-care for your trees, just water and feed them and occassionally prune them. It really works! This video was shot in about April of 2004. This is a series of three segments, as the maximum time for a YouTube video is ten minutes, The last segment was shot today, December 21, 2007, and shows what happened to the Juniper that I worked on in the original taping. That taping was unplanned, as my son Aaron was visiting from Orlando and we decided on the spur of the moment to shoot a possible pilot show for TV. He had never used that camera before and I think he did a great job. There is much more to show and tell about, and perhaps one day this series will be expanded. If you'd like to see a series like this on television, write to the stations and put some pressure on them. There are many people who would love to try their hand at this fascinating art form but are scared. I hope I have shown you that it is easy and fun, and nothing to be fearful about. It is a great hobby for kids and the elderly and all the in between ages. PART 4 IS NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE.(May, 2008- showing traditional bonsai at the Morikami Museum. It's just a silent look at their trees, but it is inspiring)("Morikami Bonsai Gardens May 2008").(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).

BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD # 39-BANYAN OF 6-22-08 REVISITED
WE REVISIT THE FIRST BANYAN BONSAI TREE MADE 29 DAYS AGO ON JUNE 22, 2008, BY LOOKING AT THE OLD YOU TUBE VIDEOS. THEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE BANYAN THAT WAS POTTED 29 DAYS AGO. I HAVE BEEN KEEPING THE WEEDS IN CHECK, AND ALSO PRUNING ANY BIGGER LEAVES. I AM GETTING SMALLER LEAF SIZE AND THOUGH THE TREE IS STILLIN ITS INTITAL FORMATIVE STAGES, IT IS DEVELOPING NICELY. WE TAKE AN UP CLOSE LOOK AT THE DETAILS.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).
BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD PART 20-MAJOR TRIM FICUS(?) BANYAN(?)
THIS IS MY MYSTERY TREE. I PLANTED AN ACORN SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, AND THIS IS WHAT GREW. THE LEAVES ARE UNLIKE THE OAK TREE THAT THE ACORN CAME FROM. PLUS IT DEVELOPED THESE AERIAL ROOTS THAT MADE IT LOOK BANYAN-LIKE. IT HAS GROWN A NICE THICK TRUNK IN ONLY A SHORT TIME. THIS IS THE ADVANTAGE OF USING THIS METHOD WITH TROPICAL TREES. ALSO, BECAUSE OF THEIR FAST GROWTH, DIRECTIONAL PRUNING WORKS REALLY WELL, VERSUS WIRING YOUR TREES. I HAD BEEN HOPING THAT IT WAS A BANYAN TREE, BUT FROM THE LEAF STRUCTURE IT SEEMS TO BE IN THE FICUS FAMILY. THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR PRUNING. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW GROWTH START FROM THE ADVENTITIOUS BUDS THAT ARE JUST WAITING TO SPRING OUT WITH NEW LEAVES. SORRY THAT THE END OF THE VIDEO ENDED PREMATURELY, BUT ALL THAT WAS LEFT OUT WAS "HAVE FUN WITH YOUR BONSAI!"(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).
BONSAI-EASY NEW METHOD-PART 6-TRIM MING TREE
SHORT VIDEO SHOWING THE TRIMMING OF A SMALL MING TREE. I had gotten a grouping of four Ming tree trunks as one planting which I split up. This is one of the plants that I took from that grouping. Ming trees grow really nicely and you have to repot them fairly often as they grow so vigorously. (May, 2008- showing traditional bonsai at the Morikami Museum.
