This is a shishigashira maple that got airlayered yesterday. I had never performed an airlayer before, so my friend brian at Cass Bonsai showed me. It might make a nice shohin one day.


The steps that were used to make this airlayer are on my blog at http://shimsuki.blogspot.com/2010/03/japanese-maple-air-layer.html as well as large pictures when they are clicked on.

This is the front after the air layer will be complete.

Is this Shishi on it's own roots or is it grafted?

I am not sure. My guess would be that it was an airlayer at one time.

I'm pretty sure the pictures do show a graft union low on the trunk.
