Focus this year 2022

[namnhi]

Every year at the end of winter I often ask myself what will I be focusing on this year, bonsai related.
Bonsai is a hobby that requires time and money. Time... I can manage by better planning or get up a bit early each day but not money. I also wanted to have some cash from the hobby to support my hobby.
All the work that am doing today will not generate any money until probably 5 years later. By then the kids should be old enough to fix their own dinner.
So what will I be focusing on.... propagation.
- 30 JBP that I got from Eric (bonsaify)
- 7 trays of Chinese quince cuttings
- 7 Chinese quince Air layering

Cutting is no good. Too hot and I didn't bag them. Maybe 3 large ones might make it as they still pretty perky.
Harvest the black apples today. Two bridged over that need to recut. CQ callus quite large. Five look good.

Delayed due to bridging.



Success?

Trimmed ready to go in pot.

Out of seven trays of Chinese Quince cuttings, I got about 5 rooted. The rest are dead.
