bonsai propagation:Winter jasmine

Hello to all IBC members,

The winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum) is native to China and it is also one of the first plants to announce the arrival of spingtime in your back yard. In bonsai-penijng, the winter jasmine is often cultivated for its strong root system, that we can associate with rocks.

The propagation of the winter jasmine is pretty easy. We can reproduce the jasmine at any moment of the year. At this time of the year, I often propagate the winter jasmines by cuttings. I just prepapre the cuttings and put them into a moist soil with sand and wait till end of March to plant the rooted cuttings in the field to accelerate their growth for a few years.

Very nice I really like the idea!
We have a jasmin ourselves in the garden. I should have a look and maybe airlayer a branch!

Kind regards

Thank you Martin,
The winter jasmine has a very slow growth. However, with time, we have great bonsai jasmine trees.
