New air-layers
March 30, 2017 3:07 pm 4 Comments
Today I added a few air-layers to the field grown pines. Air-layering is a quick method to form rooted pines. If anyone is interested in trying one for themselves, give me a call or text me at the nursery number and you can try one on your own.

Hi George. I have a 6 foot Daintree pine I would like to air layer.It’s actually a member of the casaurina or she oak family. Can you give me any advice. Cheers Steve. Hervey Bay Queensland Australia
I live in Eugene OR, and have a number of leggy pines that I’d like to try this on. A few questions:
What time of year do you do it?
What material do you use in the nursery container?
How long do you leave it on?
Thanks!

Hi George, I purchased a pre-bonsai Japanese Black Pine with a 2 in base from you back in the late 90s…it has grown over the years into a wonderful tree with a 4 in nebari. It was my favorite tree. This past September, my family went on a vacation, and we left someone in charge of watering, but they did not do a good job And my tree died (despite my best efforts to revive it).
The tree I purchased from you was field grown, and had had the top pruned. It was approximately 15 inches tall with nice branching.
I have checked ebay, and your website, but I’ve not found a tree similar. I would very much like to have another tree like that one. Do you have nice pre-bonsai JBP for sale? If so where can I find them? Please feel free to call 859-338-2342.
Thanks,

I have a 5 year-old oak next to my patio that I would like to do this to. Otherwise my wife wants to cut it down. Do you have any suggestions? Do you just use dry Sphagnum moss or do you use dirt as well? How about rooting hormone? Thanks so much, yours look great!
