A few stills captured from Capital Bonsai’s video on grafting that features Ryan Neil.
Capital Bonsai (the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum‘s excellent blog) is at it again. This time it’s an outstanding video on grafting featuring Ryan Neil of International Bonsai Mirai.
Fall versus spring grafting. Here’s what Ryan has to say about fall versus spring grafting (loosely paraphrased): Grafting in the fall is more successful than in the spring if you can provide winter protection from freezing. If you graft in spring you have to protect from sun and wind. In the fall you have to protect from freezing.
The right tool for the job. A quality grafting knife is essential for quality grafts.

Here’s an opportunity to do something that will have a long-lasting positive effect on our world.
