My Japanese is non existent but I was impressed at the way this grower demonstrated creating smaller bonsai by air-layering. No, hear me out. Yes its just layering but its the location on the branch (or, actually, the trunk) where he makes the layer that amazed me. I'm sure not many people have access to the "raw material" he has  but the concept was a revelation. https://youtu.be/ohzFv3UV5Zk NB: The idea comes it at the 14:50 mark |

Yes. Something I'd not really thought of before, but I'd imagine all the roots grew on the lower half. I'd liked the video to shown more of the method and the separation as well. |

This video shows the method in all its stages (up to adding sphagnum moss) https://youtu.be/XMtNb4Vfc2Q They explain that the meter tall bonsai most of us would give a kidney for just isn't that desirable in Japan at the moment so its better to do this to them! Any thoughts? |
