BTW while were at it, how bout this blast from the past...
Remember the Van Halen tree, the ugly double trunk maple that I hid in the forest? Well I have taken an air layer out of the top of one of the trunks from that tree plus one from the tree next to it in the forest. both trees are about 3/4 inch across and will be about 2 inches tall. I will pot these in some custom made bonsai pots from Jim Barrett. The one will be an upright tree while pic no. two will be a cascade.
Both these layers took very well and filled the bottoms of the water bottles I used for the growing pots with roots. These are ready to be cut off and I will transplant them in a few weeks. These are palmatum maples, not as hardy but still fun to play with.
Thanks for the inquiry on air layers from Kepplerville. Regards, Dusty Walnut.
