Prunus #11
Wild cherry, Prunus mahaleb, collected in 2009. See what I did in February of this year. It looks like I have ruined it. And then see what the effect of my horticultural regime was. It will be very dense almost immediately.

Leca is fine. Use sizes around 4 mm.
Hi Walter,
I was wondering if you use the same watering/feeding regime on a tree with no leaves like this one was after you cut it in Feb.
I read a lot that a tree with no leaves don't need water.
thanks
tanks for your adice, can you tel me if i can do an airlayer in a cedrus atlantica?and what is the best time for it?
A tree without leaves does need water, only much less. I start feeding when the leaves come out. In my area this is around beginning of April.
I don't think that it is a good idea to try to airlayer an Atlantic cedar.

This is not the place to discuss such things here. Go to a bonsai forum. I will not respond to such questions in the future.
Your blog was very informative. Thank you for posting the bonsai pictures too. They were so beautiful. Bonsai is indeed a living art!
