How to Air Layer a Japanese Maple

- In this video, we will show you how to air layer a Japanese maple step by step.
Air layering is a technique to remove a part of bark and have the tree grow roots from there so you can cut the part of the tree off from the parent tree and make it a separate ‘child’ tree that keeps the same genetics.
The best time to do air layering is May - June when the leaves have hardeded off. During this time, the tree is creating lots of sugar and sending it down to the roots. By cutting the bark and a thin layer called Phloem, this technique will force the tree to create roots where the nutrient flow is interrupted.
Depending on the species, trees might root in the next 3-4 months or may take a lot longer.

Your music choice is phenomenal
Great video! Thank you for the detailed visuals, very helpful. I want to try this out on my maples now!
Thanks for watching! Good luck and have fun! I have another video about airlayers so please check it out if interested.
Nice. I like using water bottles so the roots are visible when they reach the edge.
That's a good idea! Thanks for sharing your tip! 😁
Check out the updated video - Air Layer Results on Shin Deshojo! : th-cam.com/video/BodrNycjUTE/w-d-xo.html
Wow, My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...
I’ve only air-layered junipers, satsuki and JBP... have always been looking fwd to layering my JMs.. but, they’re still too young/small. I can’t wait to do it tho!
Excelente video...Muchas gracias😘🌲🙏👍🙋♀️🌱
If I just planted the tree from pot to ground, would it jeopardize the tree in any way?
THANKS!🌸
Do you have any Bonsai for sale or the trimming and cutting? It's hard to find good ones to start with from my local nursery as they all have high grafts.
the collection is envious
Brilliant!
fantastic colors !! beautiful plant ...
like and new subscriber
Thank you very much for subscribing! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! :)
Another great video, thanks!. I tried to air layer my JM in March in Northern California using sphagnum moss and after 2 months the air layers broke off. Could it be a) I did it too early in the season ( I waited for new growth to happen), b) I put too much water in the moss or c) I used to much spaghnum moss resulting in the air layer being too heavy and thus causing it to break off? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
It happened to me before. In my case, the cause was a mix of (c) above and the air layered branch was too thin after removing the bark. The good timing is either super early winter or mid spring (early May).
@@MomijiEn Thank you for your help.
Hi all. Thanks for the tips. I think l tried to make my air layer to early as no roots appeared. Would it be ok to recut the top cut or a fresh cut on the same layer and try again?
My pleasure! Yes, you can try it again next year!
saves time, money, space, energy, awesome when it works
Yeah it's a great technique. Once you know how to do it, the success rate is really high.
Hey. I enjoyed the great video. Thanks. But I really want to know about the soundtrack. Title? Artist? Thanks.
Dope music!!
Would love to see an update video when it roots
Will do! Probably fall or next Spring 😁
@@MomijiEn any luck??
@@wepaq4131 it rooted successfully and was separated after 3-4 months! You can see a pic of it on my Instagram: Momiji.en
Love your videos! Planning to do an air layer on my Bloodgood soon.
Side note, do you prefer Deshojo's or Shin Deshojo's more? Just bought a shin deshojo and was wondering if it's also worth getting the original deshojo too.
Thank you for kind words! Good luck on your air layer! I don't personally notice much differences, I like both 😁
@@MomijiEn Thanks!
Yeah, been trying to find the differences between them but I haven't had much success. I have only really seen people say that the shin deshojo is supposed to hold onto its spring color for longer supposedly.
@@CoryandStuff I think the leaves of the shin deshojo are a bit smaller
How early in Spring can one start air layering. Thanks for the great video.
You can do air layering when buds are starting to move in early Spring OR when new leaves are hardened off in late Spring. 😁 Good luck!
@@MomijiEn Thank you so much. I would like to do it early then when the buds are just starting to sprout since I would be able to clearly see the outline of the branches of my Japanese maple tree when the leaves are not fully established yet. Kind regards :)
I typically do it in early May after the first spring growth. However I am also planning to do it in early Spring so if all goes well, I can separate the air layer in summer, not fall 🙂 please keep me posted on your progress!
@@MomijiEn Thank you so much for replying. I will experiment doing one early Spring (end of March) and late Spring (May), then compare.
My red maple after pruning & cutting the roots 30%, branches & twigs dry immediately. how to handle red maple after pruning & root cutting? does it have to be covered?
Hi - When did you do the work? I usually cut roots only in late winter/early spring.
Can an Acer palmateum be air layered? It was grafted and I want to shorten the tree. Thanks!
Sorry I thought I already responded. Yes you can. Please check out some of my videos around air layering :)
Thanks for mostrar!?
Thanks for mostrar!!
What time of the year is this? Thanks
Mid Spring (in my case, May & June)
Could you use peat moss as the soil to mix with akadama as well, or do you recommend sphagnum?
I would only mix peat moss with akadama only for young seedling to retain moisture longer. I would use peat moss for older maples.
Looks like you also tried to air layer your thumb :P How is the layer doing? Has it survived?
Haha yes, I separated it last year and it's been doing great.
@@MomijiEn What is the hormone powder you use? Seems something made in JP. Is the active ingredient IBA or NAA? 1%? Thanks
@@mandrei99 I think it includes 0.4% NAA.
In quale periodo vanno eseguite le margotte? Aprile, maggio,??? Tank
Di solito faccio uno strato di aceri giapponesi a maggio. Alcune persone iniziano all'inizio di aprile. Dipende da dove vivi.
@@MomijiEn in brianza monza chiedo perché ne ho fatte 4 e nessuna ha prodotto, anzi il ramo superiore alla margotta è seccato?
@@ugopozzi5563
Sospetto che la parte a strati d'aria non abbia trattenuto l'umidità necessaria o potresti aver rimosso la corteccia troppo in profondità.
can plant indoor
I don’t understand how the top part of the tree lives aren’t you cutting the cambium layer?
Would you show the afterwork?
Yes I will definitely show the results when it's ready!
@@MomijiEn any updates?
Can we air layer emperor one?
What season is best to air layer?
I typically air layer in May/June. (Northern Hemisphere) However, some people do in late March/April with great success (it allows them to separate the tree earlier in the year) so I'm planning to experiment a few in mid Spring next year 🙂
Hi Friend. Can you share with me that what kind of bonsai soil that you using for your bonsai? Thank you
Thanks for your comment! I normally use Akadama, Pumice and Lava rock mix.
Is it emperor one?
Maybe it would be easier and safer to use a pipe cutter , (Like plumbers use), to cut the 2 lines around the circumference of the branch ?
Yeah that may work too!
If you do make a follow up video, have someone hold the camera for you!!!
Can you do this with a normal size Japanese maple and turn it into a bonsai?
As long as the trunk or branch is thicker than a pencil or your finger, you can air layer it.
@@MomijiEn Thanks for the info and the vid. I will be trying with the Japanese maple in my backyard. There are some low hanging branches that will eventually have to be cut off so might as well turn it into something.
Is it possible to grow Japanese Maple at a temperature of 20 - 30 degree Celsius.....
That's possible as long as there are several months out of a year when the average temperature is cold enough for JMs to go dormancy.
@@MomijiEn In my place, the minimum temperature is 17 degree Celsius, maximum temperature =31 degree Celsius.........is it possible to grow in this range.......
@@radhakrishnapillaia6536 I think it would be difficult to grow Acer Palmatum in that climate. Not sure if other acers can though.
When is the best time to do air layering?
For me, mid Spring when new leaves are just hardened off is a good time to air layer JMs. Had great success :) some people do earlier.
Hope you can make a follow up video to this one, how's the root forming
Will do!
Great video but you made me nervous watching you work with knife . Explains band aids
Haha sorry! the bandaid was needed for something else 😁
great video,
Thank you!
