bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Root Pruning How and Why

I started my first Bonsai when I was 15, I'm now 46. And yes quiete a few have died since, to repair the harm I've done to so many and to avoid others do the same I've been working on how to avoid this. Last year I collected 6 trees all alive with this method. I invited two friends who where very reluctant to believe in what they called my crazy method. They saw how I collected the trees, transplanted, etc. and in the summer came back to see the trees. They couldn't believe the massive amount of new leaves and branches the trees had. I have been working with "Mycorrysae" for the past 8 years,
There are basically three families of "Mycorrysae", "Endomycorrysae", "Ectomycorrysae" and "Ericoidmycorrisae" . So once you know to what Mycorrysae family your tree asociates it's easy. Just give it a try the next time you transplant a tree you will be surprised with the amount of new fine roots you will get. Where ever you cut old roots when transplanting with this method you will be creating a beautiful amount of new roots all around that root. But be careful"Mycorrysae" is not a miraculous product, you have to avoid some types of Pesticides, watering is very important I only use rain water and feeding the tree as well as you can kill the "Mycorrysae".
