I Like a truck that looks stressed. It gives it character. many Japanese Maples have interesting features. I have a few Palmatum seedlings that I have been working with. they come from a weeping palmatum. I made a forest of a few and I have a few that I am training as individual trees. one of these trees has the most fantastic pink color in the spring through part of the summer. You would think this is a special cultivar, but it isn't.

What has been the problem with the airlayering? I´m planning an airlayer this
spring on a basic A palmatum.

Pauline Muth told me the main problem is that it might take two years to root,
so the first winter you have to put it in a location which is cool enough to
support dormancy, but never goes below freezing. Do you have room in your
refrigerator?

It will be in the garage which is cool. It can´t take the cold here in
Sweden so I have to winter it frost free any how. I´ll give it a try and
see what happens.

Thanks for the input everyone.

Palmatum takes from spring to july to make roots 3 -4 montas if
teh work is well done , but Mr Miko Kitsune explained here to me last
july that colored leaves maples sometimes are more difficult to air
layer than green ones
