名媛直播

Hello all! This is my first post but I have been watching this site for a little while now. I recently acquired a Redwood burl from Muir Woods Trading Company and I would like to start a bonsai from that. However, there is little to no legitimate information out on the Internet on burls and how to cultivate them in a pot and get them to grow roots. I have the burl in a dish with a half to a quarter inch of water with a tiny bit of rooting concentrate from Dyna-gro (0.009-0.011-0.006) that I got on advice from a horticulturist but he did admit that he did not have much knowledge on this subject.

Does anyone have any good information on helping me establish the burl into a bonsai?

Thank you for taking the time to either read my post and/or submit your comments.

To be honest with you.. I am not sure why you would want to have a redwood with a unhealthy spot on them (A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress).

The idea of 名媛直播 is to have top-healthy trees, with little or no scars on the bark.

Besides that.. I think you should treat the plant just as any other redwood for bonsai.

A burl is not unhealthy but a reaction (or tree insurance) to stress. The burl and the bark itself will decompose and the redwood shoots will grow into perfectly viable trees and exact replicas of the original tree.

This is not the type of feedback I am looking for. I am wanting expert on step by step are on getting the burl to produce roots. Like I said before, the burl is sitting in water with a liquid rooting concentrate but I am unsure if that is the correct technique.

I appreciate your commentary but please do not criticize my choice.

Fair enough. Difficult question though, I have no personal experience with this. Is dynagro a rooting hormone? If so, it will help making small scars/scratches/cuts which triggers the tree to grow new roots.

Perhaps someone else here can help?

The bottle says it is a rooting concentrate (K-L-N). The horticulturist showed me some rooting hormone but that was designed specifically for cuttings so we thought to go with the concentrate because it was less likely to do harm since we didn't know how the hormones were going to affect the burl. We also wondered about how we would administer the rooting hormone to the burl.

I've been growing a wide range of plants from cuttings for a few dozen years but usually without rooting hormone treatments. Havent come across any techniques for propagation from a burl (is this whats known in the UK as a gall?) but I think you are probably right to encourage rooting as you are doing, I suspect it will be some time though before you see a result.
Good luck with this
