@@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371 Thanks mate. Yes they are. They do take a while to develop roots in my experience. But yes I was fortunate with this one.

@hobbyscape4433 lucky you❤️ I have also some layers in the row Some maples and Ginkgo and blackthorn and cherrytree🤷‍♂️

@ Oh nice. You have a lovely selection there mate. Good luck with the air layering.

@hobbyscape4433 youre welcome🙋🏻‍♂️

@@roberthumphres8283 Hey mate. I’m using osmocote cactus and succulent premium mix

I purchased this one from eBay 😊

Hi Mate. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you find it helpful. Best to start it in spring and depending on your location, it may take some time to root so you have to be patient too 😊 All the best.

Hi and thank you 🙏🏼. My plant is doing well. I’ll make an update soon. If it shrivelling up more often than it should, it’s probably because it’s drying up too quickly before it can suck up the moisture it needs. You’ll find that it’s a very hardy plant but you need to closely make sure it does not shrivel up too much and water it if needed. That said, they are prone to rot so you’ll need to be careful not to overwater.

They are not sensitive at all. Cotoneasters are very robust trees/plants. In some countries they are known to be used as garden hedges and are also used to extreme pruning.

When you see new growth on the crown, start cutting the old leaves off. It will reduce the size of the new growth. Repeat the process until you get the leaf size you want. It may take a few years to develop depending on your climate. Bearing in mind that you only do this method also as long as the plant is healthy.

Yes definitely one of my favourite trees. Seedlings are always fun and easier to develop and train at a young age. Thanks for watching.

Hi Francien. I use slow release fertiliser all year round with a low nitrogen percentage. Then I would add Charlie Carp in the growing season.

@@hobbyscape4433 Thank U so much 4 ur answer♥️👍. Wish U a very nice day.🙋

Best way to keep the tree growth compact? My quince Karin likes to try and run long branches

Hi @@Rob1337 Yes running long branches and cutting it back also helps with ramification. That said, it may also likely depend on the stage of development that a tree is currently in. In the early stages of development and design, I would likely do it more albeit without compromising the health of the tree. But once, the design I want and the structure is there, I would just maintain the shape of the tree.

@@hobbyscape4433 here is mine th-cam.com/video/CggS1lRdrgY/w-d-xo.html it’s the only tree I struggle with, it’s much the same as it was then just a little bigger, complete nightmare compared to my other trees and have conflicting advice on when to let grow or cut it back here in Scotland, it’s also temperamental in that if I do prune it may drop the complete branch lol 😂

Hi. I’m not sure about the species. But they are some kind of fern. They just started growing in the pot. I initially left them there for aesthetics. But I ended up removing them now. Thanks for watching

I buy bonsai soil from my local bonsai nursery. I don’t know the ratio but it looks like a combo of pumice, small pine bark, coarse sand and premium potting soil. The soil might not work for everyone because it will depend on your location. But it works fine where I am.

How long does it take for roots coming out?

​@@locpham-ie6lyas we have seen it took 12 month🤷‍♂️

Thanks mate. It was my first time doing it. So I was over the moon when I found out it worked 😊

Thank you 🙏🏼 . I usually use 2 parts Bonsai soil which I purchase from my local Bonsai nursery and 1 part crushed granite or turface. If I run out of those, I would use a normal well draining cactus / succulent soil mix as an alternative.

Thanks 🙏🏽

Greetings. I’m having problems with my computer at the moment. That’s why I have not been uploading. I plan to upload something this week. Thanks 🙏🏽

They generally last until the pulps dry out. Probably around 2 to 3 months I would say. Once they die out, I harvest the pulps and dry them out and plant them back in early spring - repeating the cycle again.

@@hobbyscape4433 the pulps are the seed pods?

@@mai4319 Yes. That’s what I meant. Seeds germinate very easy that’s why I make sure I collect them all. Quaking grass is highly invasive.

@@hobbyscape4433 that's amazing 😍 thanks for the tips I will try and take a walk on the nature to see if I can find a native tipe of grass with seeds

Thanks mate. Yes spring is definitely my favourite season of all 😊

Thanks mate. I did think about that but decided to leave both for now to keep my options open later.

Hi. Yes I have a male plant. It needs a male plant nearby or else it won’t fruit.

Hi. Depending on where you are located, I bought mine at Bunnings

Good to hear from you. I hope you’re well.

@@hobbyscape4433 I am great. Thanks :) I hope the same for you.

Thanks mate 🙏🏽

Hi. Yes, we’re in our last month of winter. Thanks for watching 🙏🏽

Thank you for watching. I am very much still a novice in this art and I am still learning a lot. The Hornbeam is one of my favourite trees - especially the Japanese and Korean varieties because of their small leaves. IMO they are elegant looking and easy to care for 😊

Thank you. Thanks for watching

Thank you and thanks for watching 🙏🏽
