Good god almighty that’s quite the feat. How long has it been since separation? I hope it lives!
Also I’d consider really torquing down your tie wires, maybe even cushioning where they make contact with the tree. You really don’t want this swaying at all in the wind

Reddit is not showing me the post text. Anyways, this is an update to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bonsai/comments/1e7z52u/safe_to_remove_air_layer_in_heat/) about my massive air layer. Last night a wind storm broke the trunk below my layer, so it looks like I get to separate this now instead of what I decided upon, which was in the fall. Got it into a grow box without much hassle. This thing put out a ton of roots, so I’m hopeful.

This is awesome! Is the plan to let the old trunk part decay naturally or will you carve that?

You really should cover the giant cut with cutpaste. 😮
