How would you improve this material? Approach grafting.https://nichigobonsai.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/11-157.jpg11-157In this case roots are being grafted onto a section of live vein in order to allow the entire trunk to be split up into smaller individual bonsai.https://nichigobonsai.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/11-156.jpg11-156What do you do when you want to shorten the trunk of a species such as taxus that doesnt aerial layer well? Approach graft!https://nichigobonsai.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/11-155.jpg11-155Here you can see some new rootsa being grafted higher up on a taxus trunk.
