Was beim Abmoosen WIRKLICH passiert – am Acer palmatum erklärt

In this video, I'm tackling my Acer palmatum "Kotohime"—a tree I haven't been truly happy with for years. The right trunk looks too heavy, too straight, and shows hardly any taper. After much deliberation, I decided on a radical step: air layering. I'll not only show you the practical steps, but also explain in detail what's actually happening biologically inside the tree: 🌱 What is phloem? 🌱 What does the cambium do? 🌱 Why do new roots develop? 🌱 Why doesn't the upper part dry out? 🌱 What role does sapwood play? This video is aimed at both beginners and advanced bonsai enthusiasts who want to know not only HOW to do something—but also WHY it works.
