My large apple air layer

2nd year of taking an air layer, last years rooted well and has done ok this year.

now this spring i went in for a meaty branch to create a large mini tree.  as always with me im looking for possible bonsai art on the tree i have made

this has some shape and could manage into a large bonsai, possible carving in a year or to and create some dead wood

    cut the bark off and scrape of the cambium, add tiny amount of rooting gel to top of cut, cover in moss and wrap in cling film

    keep moist and wait

    Quite amazing and I love your new tiny tree. (well tiny in comparison to its 'parent'!)
