bonsai black pine grafting

I'm wondering can I grow a bonsai in the Tropics, because I live in Jamaica and I'm wondering what trees can be used too.

Very nice video.

is that gonna grow into it?....

kinda the cutting will fuse with the actual tree he used and form new growth out of the cutting

yes

usually a year or two - there is more info about this on my old blog.

you are all kind of correct. The trunk section below the graft is regular japanese black pine, and will stay that way. It has strong root growth characteristics. The portion above the graft will eventually be removed, leaving just the graft. These are particular cultivars of black pine that have special characteristics like short needles, or stripes on the needles, etc.

The commonest pine grafts are Japanese white pine scion to Japanese black pine rootstock, and cork bark Japanese black pine to Japanese black pine rootstock. Less common are Japanese red pine foliage to Japanese black pine rootstock, and my favorite, where John Naka grafted Japanese black pine foliage to Canary Island pine rootstock. I saw the John Naka tree in person, more years ago than I care to admit.

CHASNSNX, shut your mouth. You have no idea of what your talking about. PLease stop misleading others.

it is just a piece of a plastic cutting board that he holds the stock against while making the cut. You can use anything - it just keeps the knife from going into your leg if you slip :-)
