I am working on some revolutionary methods for establishing newly collected Yamadori. I started back in November with five trees using different techniques, two failed but three have delivered spectacular results. Prunus Spinosa and Crataegus producing roots from the whole tree, these photos were taken in February. With this knowledge I set out and collected over 100 trees and these are now thriving. I am busy collecting Yews up to the end of April in the UK then over to mainland Europe for Pines and Picea. This year’s stock will be available for reserve for a deposit of 50% from Mid June onwards.
I have uploaded these photos in hi resolution so you can take a closer look if you ‘click’ on them!
New roots direct from the trunk
The white specks are the start of new roots, two weeks after this photo was take the roots were 2cm long!
A small section of the recently collected Prunus Spinosa and Crataegus, they are triving.

paprenaud, i think Tony’s secret lies with knowledge gained from hydroponics, through use of constant misting system and the right temperature and sphagnum helps but iam sure we’ll be kept guessing. Best way to find out, try it yourself

Dereck I agree it’s always good to try things for ourselves and using the hydroponics, A method I have heard and seen but never really did any of it when I was heavly into growing my own plants from seeds but since medical reason hampered me from doing gardening I found trying to understand Bonsai Culturet he best thing that happened for me So Tony don’t keep us all in the dark toooooo long
take care
