Thanks I have been doing exactly that with most but was really looking for a good time to air layer as I have had a lot of trouble getting cuttings to grow. Maybe I have been taking to small of cutting usually under 1cm diameter.

Im not part of a bonsai club yet have mainly been growing and selling to friends and such people I know so as to hopefully see them in 20-50yrs time!!! I have around 100 plants and many at cutting stage, I only have around 10 true bonsai now though but they are all less than 15 yrs old as I have never bought 1!
