So pleased to see this video. I have a ginkgo that has got very leggy, and wondered if they air layer ok. You’ve given me the answer and the confidence to give it a go. Thanks. Love your videos.
I had the same thing happen with a hawthorn air layer. It rotted off but had calloused, so I cut into the callous and potted it up with a cane to support it. It took more than a year but it is looking to grow better this spring than last year. Its definitely stunted, but living.
Hello Mr Notion, do you know which type of Ginko this is? I bought and Elmwood Ginko for bonsai-ing. It’s pretty tall and lanky though. But it has twin trunks so I’m thinking of air layering one side. The other side has more branching. Yours has lots of great branching compared to mine. Thanks!
Love your channel. I am trying to Airlayer and need your advice. I took pictures of my Airlayerings and they looked calloused at the top. My friend said that it failed. I wish I could send you the pictures. Hot here in south west Missouri. He also told me that it needs to be at least 70 degrees f at night for it to work. I hope you can give me some encouragement to continue with this project.
Cherry and Dogwood, Crabapple these are just a few. You might say that I'm getting a lot of practice. And I have had some success. Meaning mostly calloused on some. I only have sphagnum moss from the nursery but I watched a video where they used a lighter and fluffier moss. A bit confused and depressed about it. I watched Herons bonsia on airlayering and I thought man I want to be that successful as you are too. And I don't have Instagram. Just email text and Facebook. I just watched your apple double Airlayer and WOW I was impressed. Love your channel
I havent Kennet! But I have heard that it is relatively easy as long as you take the cuttings in early summer. Look for a branch that is about pencil-thick in diameter. Using sharp and clean pruning shears, take a cutting that is around 6 to 8 inches long. 🍃✂️ Remove any lower leaves, leaving a few leaves at the top. Dip the cut end of the cutting in rooting hormone🌱 Plant the cutting in a well-draining potting mix, ensuring that at least half of the cutting is buried in the soil. Water the cutting thoroughly and place it in a warm and bright location, but avoid direct sunlight. 🌞 Mist the cutting regularly to maintain humidity💧It should root! 😊
Hey! Rooting ginkgo cuttings can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely doable with the right approach. First off, make sure you're taking cuttings from hardwood, as softwood cuttings are less likely to root successfully. You'll want to take cuttings that are around 6 to 8 inches long and remove any leaves from the bottom half of the cutting. Ginkgoes prefer well-draining soil with good moisture retention. A mix of equal parts perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss works well for rooting cuttings. Make sure the mix is moist but not waterlogged before inserting the cuttings. When planting the cuttings, make sure at least two nodes are below the soil line. You can use a rooting hormone with the active ingredient IBA to help encourage root growth, but it's not always necessary for ginkgoes. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with indirect sunlight. Mist the cuttings regularly to keep the humidity high and prevent them from drying out. It can take several weeks to a few months for ginkgo cuttings to root, so be patient and keep an eye on them. Once you start to see new growth, it's a sign that roots have formed, and you can gradually acclimate the cuttings to normal growing conditions🌱 🥳😊Hope this helps!
Legend!! Love your work 👍 I had an air laying break off too - hopefully mine will survive as well as yours! I’ve tried and I’ll wait and see what happens in the spring (I’m in 🇦🇺) 😁👍 cheers, love your channel!!
I took some cuttings from a ginkgo tree and put them in a wooden box of sand early spring, and I’d like to know how long it takes for them to route. It looks like some of the leaves are turning yellow and dying that were on it any advice thank you.
Hey! When propagating cuttings from a ginkgo tree, it takes several weeks to months for them to root. Yellowing and dying leaves are normal during the rooting process as energy is redirected towards root development. To increase success, use a well-draining rooting medium, provide consistent moisture without oversaturation. It's important to be patient, monitor for new root growth, and transplant into individual pots once roots have developed. I hope they root for you!!
Great to see a good save!!
🤗🙂🌲
Very nice results. Ginkgo are such interesting trees.
I love the leaves on them man!
Brilliant video Adam, loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Brendan!! 🙂
I used exactly the same method with several airlayers last year. All are doing fine now.
Aw nice! Great to hear others having success with air layering too! It's such a great way to get quick Bonsai with a great start for a Nebari!

I have found that the gingko can struggle to back bud.. Instead it loves to grow suckers right at the base!

Aw nice one Stephen! It's always great to hear that air layerings survived! Hawthorn is such a nice species for Bonsai too!
Thank you 😊
Hey Gloria! 😊
Good job 😊
🤗🙂🌱
Great video and informative!😊
Thank you very much!

Hey Becky! Send them to me on Instagram! What species are you air layering?

I thought this was brilliant Adam - and I am only watching the countdown so far :)
You are too kind Xavier!!
@@notionbonsai I know - I amaze even myself sometimes (in my sleep) :)
When life gives you lemons, you make air layers.

How true is that❤ more lemon trees better 🍋
Hi, How do I root hard ginkgo cuttings? What soil mix should I use for rooting? Thank you.

Thank you very much Tony! I hope it survives for you!! 🌲What species did you air layer?
@@notionbonsai thanks Adam! It was a trident maple 🍁
You definitely have a green thumb Adam.
I was lucky with this one to have that callus tissue already on that air layer!
You dropped a watering can on it???
You berk!!! 😂😂😂
Good recovery 👍
Accidents happen 😅 Thanks Jason!
I had similar situation with hornbeam, the pot was a rescue 🛟
Oh nice! 😊 It's great to save a tree that you thought was gone!
