Is it TRUE that Airlayers produce Instant or Quick Bonsai? With the help of 5 of my Japanese Maple Airlayers I will quickly demonstrate the answer to that question. Be ready for an interesting discussion as I carry out my Maple development summer work

This video is centered on the hobbyist and I readily accept that a seasoned bonsai person can achieve great results with the correct material and application...but that's definitely not me :)
