Air Layering from a garden Maple

Watch as Dan shows Millie how to make an air-layer from one of the many self-sown Maple seedlings that he finds growing all over his garden.

Here he uses a reusable plastic root growing ball for the first time (easily available from Amazon), which is then packed with sphagnum moss and helped along with some rooting hormone/gel and 'Super Thrive'.

How nice to see genuine people on YouTube that aren't playing up to the camera etc and simply enjoying each others company as well as sharing good honest information.

Wonderful video Dan, I have got to do some air layering myself this year a Chinese elm so I am going to have a go better than cutting it off I like the idea of getting two for one thank you Dan 🤞

Nice video great to see you sharing knowledge with a young person, I'm fairly new and any instructional videos like this make it so much easier.. Would be great to see some more videos of you talking over Bonsai techniques. You're a natural teacher, so calm and clear. Directional pruning I always get confused over. And how do you know which trees will bud back from old wood and which won't.

Amazing glazed pot videos too.

Should you do anything about the cambium layer before putting on the sphagnum moss, etc?

I have a 20+ year old Japanese maple with 4 large leaders. All the leaders have multiple branches, can I do an air layer on one of the branches of each separate leader at the same time? Will that kill the tree? I'm having a hard finding an answer. Thanks

Do we need superthrive and rootinghormon esentially, because here over in Germany its not allowed to sell😢😢😢

[williamwoody]

I’m sorry I missed it but what time of year was this? When is the optimal time to do this? Thanks.

[Ctyground]

You don’t take any cambium off, haven’t seen that before.

Теперь этот плотный комок тонких корней и длинноволокнистого мха предстоит распутать.
