How to Grow Blackthorn from Root Cuttings | Bonsai

Title: How to Grow Blackthorn from Root Cuttings | Bonsai In this video from Bill's Bonsai I show the results I get from Tap Root cuttings that were taken from purchased whips prior to planting them in the ground. 2 years earlier I planted about 9 or 10 young Blackthorn plants, Prunus spinosa, but before planting them in the ground I cut off the long tap roots to keep just the radial roots. I then planted the tap roots in a pot of soil and 4 out of 5 of them survived and grew new plants which I repot in this video. Blackthorn, also known as 'sloe' can make stunning bonsai but the best Blackthorn bonsai are created from Yamadori (collected plants), from the wild. They are more gnarly and interesting. The Blackthorn that I planted in the ground have also been dug up and I have to say they like to spread their roots wide and deep! A video will be made about those plants. Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Bill
