@namnhi You've caused me to research! Looks like a person, Alcedo has an idea of how to have good yield on his cuttings and air layer. If so, I suspect his technique modified for air layering peach and maybe even ume could be possible.

TP, please update us if this work for you. I tried a few times with ume cuttings but all failed. A few callused up but didn't root. I should have been a bit more patience

Am not sure if peach even airlayer. I haven't seen one done but nothing is impossible right.

I will try one and let you know. I am sure it can be done because my friend did air layering on flowering plum successfully. I believe plum, peach should be the same.

I never thought that you could put a peach in a bonsai pot. How long has it been in that pot? And what is the name of that one?
Thanks,
 
namnhi I never thought that you could put a peach in a bonsai pot.
I think we can put any tree in the bonsai pot! I have got one California palm seedling in the small bonsai pot for 5 years!

How long has it been in that pot?
5 years.

And what is the name of that one?
The early flowering peach.

I came back from KCMO this morning, I found the flowering plum are blooming. The second one in the front row from the right.

I planned to transplant it to the bonsai pot this year. It has a lot of flowers every year, even though I did not change its soil for at least 4 years!

The flower has scent like incense!!! When I smelled it, my thinking went down deeply!! It makes me feel more calm.

The 1st tree in the front row from the right is air layered flowering quince.

Tamarix is one of the species that we can have nice view in spring, summer and winter.
1.png

Its trunk base has 2 openings naturally. Those yellow arrows show the cavities connected together. It has very nice tiny barks.

The leaf buds are swelling up along the branches at this time.

This tamarix was transplanted from the nursery plastic pot to clay pot on 11/13/16
As you can see, I used twine to hold the tree in the pot. Nowadays I rarely use aluminum wire to hold the tree during transplant! Twine is much better for this purpose!

Its barks starts showing up.

It passed leaf bud phase!

Someone will wonder why the one in post #157 still has leaf buds but not this tree. Different sites, different development phase.
p/s: please pay attention to the direction of the leaf buds and shoots. To remove those shoots, you need to grasp at the near end of the branch with your index and thumb and make a smooth movement along the branch to the far end. It is easy, fast way to remove the shoots as needed. If you don't know this trick, it will take you forever to take care the tamarix.
