This is a new project of mine Very Happy
It is a Malus profusion with nice flowers in the summer,and with nice little red apples on it.
This is a marcot from a big apple-tree from 3 years ago. I let it grow and did not prune it for a couple of years.
I will style it for the first time next week Cool
I will post it when this is done.
Greetings Ed

Lovely tree Ed, will the fruits remain that small? Apples dont grow in our area but we have crabapples which look similar.

One of the basic foundations of bonsai is that, while leaf size can be reduced, flowers and fruits always remain the same size (assuming the tree is healthy), regardless of the size or age of the tree. This is true of both tropical & temperate trees. The crabapples on Ed's air layer are the same size as those on the parent tree, & will stay that way. That is why artists who want a bonsai of an apple tree almost always use a crabapple. You occasionally see a shohin apple tree exhibited with one standard size apple growing on it, just as a novelty.
Are you sure you have crabapples of the genus Malus in the Philippines? Do they set fruit? Since crabapples have the same chilling requirements as standard apples, I would suspect you have something else with the common name crabapple stuck on. That is why botanical names are important.

Hi Bonsaisr

I have just finished googling, your suspicion is right, what we have here are the zyzyphus jujuba and malphigia glabra which have the comon name of crabapples , actually they are cherries.
