A Refresher Course in Air Layering Spring 

I love that you are teaching others and allowing Josh to take the lead and giving him credit :) I also like Josh's tattoos!

Josh made that look easy 😮...🌿🙏

I like Josh personality and his work.

Very good, love the video. A win win.

100% success?? That's art!! Surreal..

Thx for sharing Peter 👍

It's a pleasure to greet you Mr. Peter I watch all your videos since you uploaded your first videos I think I've seen most of them, I really enjoy what you do with maples palmatum when you show us how to thicken the trunk I would really like it no matter how repetitive it is I would continue doing them, because you learn from each one of them, being that they are different, I thank you very much for uploading these videos. God bless you.

Wow Josh! Great job.

Just beautiful!!!! Thank you 😊

Great job Josh👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing the successful outcomes 👩🏻‍🌾🪴

It has been an honor learning from you. Thank you sir.

cant wait to see the results.

Great job, Josh!

I cant wait til Spring as it Autumn here in Melbourne Australia. I have makings ready to go. Thanks again

Thanks guys. I plan to do my first round of air layering this spring. This weekend, in fact. Keep on keeping on. 💪🏼💚👍🏼

Fantastic work Josh. I wish I could have the same experience, but as yet sadly not. Don’t really know what I am doing wrong. Years ago I had a very big rubber plant, I was able to air layer that with no difficulty just using ordinary moss from the garden and everyone worked..

Thanks Team

Thankyou Peter and Josh , nice to watch air layering again , i have 5 air layerings on my maples at the moment which i did end of april so fingers crossed.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter, thanks Josh

I have just today air layered a Shiraz maple. Hopefully I will have a good an outcome as Josh will have with his. A great video.

Great video, per usual!

Thanks! I was wondering what this air layering was that you have been mentioning.

I learn how to airlie by watching mr. Peter

Thank you!

I have a disectum maple with two crossing trunks I really want to try and air layer one trunk this video has made me "bite the bullet" as Peter says 👍🏼

_THANK YOU_ 🙏 😔 🙏 Dr. Chan, this was a great review. The "new tree" that you created is amazing. Your yeild on this plant is great. Can you keep "the Spagnum ball" too wet? We are having much wetter weather here than we have in about a couple of decades, the drouth ended and the wet season just appeared. Josh you make this look really easy. 🙏👌🙏 You guys have been extremely busy this spring. 🙏 🖖 🙏 😔 🙏

It's like xmass $$$ in the bank 🏅🏅🏅Ernie smith from brisbane Australia

Thank you Peter and Josh for the thorough explanation as per usual. I have a question; is it possible to preform two airlayerings on the same long branch at the same time. Or should I air layer from the top down so to speak. Thank you again, Marc.

😊👍

TQ Josh, nice beard btw!

So you'll get 2 trunks trees, or will you cut the air layer in half to get 2 trees from one air layering ?

Years ago i had watched an air layer video on Maples from you and got scared ao i tried it on the established bottle brush...had no sphagnum moss so used clay....success first air layer attempted ever. Have a maple currently wrapped doing good on top and bottom, but i didnt use clear wrap this time so i dont know if it rooted or healed, only time will tell

can you please explain why the air layering is done at all the junctions, must it be at the junctions I thought it could be done anywhere on the trunk ?

Will the moisture trapped in the moss be enough? Do we need to open the bag to moisten it midway before the new roots emerge?

please🙇 Mr Chan, after doing the air layering, how many times do you need to fertilize the main tree until the roots appear?

👍👌👌🙂🙂

I did nto see any water added to the moss or the bag after one side was done. How does it acquire humidity?

how wet/moist is the sphagnum moss when you put it on?

Is deshojo good to be out in the sun?

Does this work on Azalea? I have some big evergreen azaleas which would look great as bonsai

Anybody know where to find good quality wisteria seeds or Japanese maple seeds in Yorkshire or online

What is the powder?

What rooting hormone did you use?

What is the theory on timing? Can you air layer earlier, say in March just so you can get them in place earlier?

Are you not able to grow sphagnum moss at your nursery?

Here is a method improvement. If you already know you will air layer a tree, shape the top part while it is still flexible and then airlayer. You will now have the shape ready to go, instead of waiting.

am the 1st :D WOOOHOOOOO :D

Only 6 months till they root 😊

That sphagnum moss looks bone dry. I always thought you had to moisten it before applying it?

Interesting. However, if you watch closely (it's not easy to see), you can see that the bark is not peeled off completely up to the core, the hard wood so to speak. That, by the way, is more or less lightly yellow. If you would remove the bark completely up to the hard wood, the branch with leafs would probably wither immediately because you would cut off all the transportation of moist and nutricions right away. In my personal experience, during removing the bark you should stay in the "white area", so you should peel off only part of the bark and not all of it. The branch and leafs then will grow further but will try to get some additional moist and nutricion by additional rooting (in the sphagnum), also because it is disturbed a little by peeling off a thin layer of bark. That is, by the way, the main reason why your knife should be quite sharp...! Well, this is my personal experience. Perhaps I'm wrong but my way seems to work... By the way, mr Chan pointed that out in earlier videos if I remember well...

If Josh is the master at air layering why doesn’t he let Josh talk and tell us what he is doing

I keep running into the problem of my sphagnum drying out
