Air layering and approach grafting an "Arakawa" Jpanese maple in the begining of June. This tree has been featured before in the channel, 2 years ago. Back then it was in the ground, now in a training pot. Thank you for your time!

My dude approaching bonsai like lego, airlayering the top and then splitting the block in half and approach graft it to the parent tree. Some high level horticulture in practice.
Your drone shots are sweet 10/10
Thabk you! I really appreciate the way you phrase that comment! Have a nice day!
i like the wire to protect the approach graft... very nice, thankyou.
Thank you! It is there to keep some pressure and keep the branch fully in. But it protects it from being damaged from the pins, as you said! Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai i use grafting tape instead of pins but i might try some wire with it next time. thanks again!
The problem with grafting tape, parafilm, is that there is a good chance it will break down before the graft has fused. Normal grafts are faster, approach grafts can be much slower. I'm guessing this will take more than a year to fuse. Parafilm won't last and keep the pressure for that long. Another grafting tape might though. Cheers!
@@ArkefthosBonsai yes I've found that too, I mitigate it by using a zip-tie as failsafe... working well so far... I just find the pins really awkward and can't get proper grafting pins here for some reason lol.
If it works, it's perfect! Have a great night!
wow the ending of the video is just cinematic. love it
Thank you Darko! I really appreciate that you liked that!
Nice tree and lot of work on it at one's you could start earlier in season but you have time to finished no problem. It will be good tree out of it. And you can make from the lowest stump that left from air layer nice small fat tree too.
Thabk you mate! Here spring is one month late. I still have landscape trees that just now are starting to push. I waited to get better hormone balance and get better roots. The stump, I don't think it will bud out. Let's see...
@Arkefthos Bonsai yep we have late season too. But trust me, that stump will bud out. I grow my maples just for that stump.
I'll let you know if that's the case. Cheers!
Hi my friend,I very like arakawa maples for their beautiful bark. I appreciated so much your technique...you have many wonderful bonsai! Very compliments and thank you for sharing your very interesting videos!👍👍👍👍
Always a pleasure Robeerto! Arakawa are harder to grow but very rewarding when developed propeerly! Thank you!
I finally got an opportunity to sit and enjoy this. Wondeful video and I love the plans for this tree. thank you
Always a pleasure Xavier! I have your late transplant vudeo in queue for this evening! Hope it's a hopeful one! 😁
Un Arakawa con diferentes técnicas aplicadas, todas a la misma vez.
Lo que más me maravilla, son los nuevos brotes en las coníferas del bosque.
Ese despegar del dron al final del video es maravilloso. Los bosques siempre son mágicos.
Salud !

Hi!...Thanks for sharing this video!!...very, very beautiful maple...very inspirational for me
Also nice place!...excuse my english
Greetings from Italy!
Thanks man! I'm in Greece! Your English is more than good, so no worries! Have fun with your maples!
Hi beautiful video. I have a young arakawa maple for a few months and it has literally exploded. He made branches of one and a half meters. It's incredible, it also has a good bark for being small. This copy of yours will inspire me
Thank you! So, now is a perfect opportunity for you to take some cuttings. Vigorous shoots are great candidates as they can root relatively easy. You can so many more "Arakawa" maples! Good luck!
@@ArkefthosBonsai Sure thank You!
Καλή επιτυχία φίλε 👍

Fabulous bark on the tree! Loved the techniques and the drone footage at the end! 👍

Beautiful words Thomas! Thank you!
When is it too late to airlayer in the season. Or does it matter in your experience?
Excellent question! Last year I did 3 air layers on a plain Japanese maple the first week of August. I was able to separate all of them the first week of November. They are fine now, though not healthy enough to work on them. I chose not to put them in the greenhouse for the winter. Had I placed them in the greenhouse, they would be great now. So, if you have way to protect them from freezing, the first week of August should be your limit. If not, the sooner the better. And your season of air layering should start as soon as you stop seeing fresh small leaves on the tips of the branches. Cheers!
Complimenti per i tuoi video, ricchi di spunti e stimoli. E poi hivi in un contesto bellissimo! Italia?

King of technique!
That last shot legitimately looked like Amazon rain forest, you're so lucky to live near such beauty.
Thank you dude! Very kind! To tell you the truth, I got the same Brazil rainforest feeling when I saw it. Spot on!

Phenomenal technique using the wire to wedge your approach graft into the cleft! Will we get another update sometime soon? 👏🪴🍁
Thank you mate! Well yeah, in a few weeks this tree is getting it's first ceramic pot, finally!
