![]() Do you know, though, if the bits within the root are capable of regeneration? I wouldn't've thought they were, in the VAM fungi at least, as the arbuscules aren't really anything more than exchange sites. And, of course, if the mycorrhizae can't regenerate from their arbuscules, the presence of the arbuscules within the root doesn't get us very far... then again, fungal regeneration isn't something I know much about. With ectomycorrhizal fungi, the mycelium will regenerate easily. With endomycorrhizal fungi, I'm not so sure....arbuscules won't regenerate, but there is plenty of mycelium in the root. I used to stare for hours at cleared and stained endomycorrhizal roots, and I'm not sure if I ever saw an internal hypha ever come out, but I imagine it could, especially in a senescent root. -- Nina Shishkoff Riverhead, NY ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Jerry Meislik++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?

Pines develope their own mycorrhiza but beside of oaks I never heard of
others.. anyway-- when transplanting a pine always add some old "" mycorrhized" soil to it ; mycorrhize looks like white fungus on Camembert cheese when the plant is very healthy and well cured sometimes overflows from the draining holes.. but can be killed by sprays conatining cupper or copper derivatives so if you need to use a spry to kill some pests and it contains copper cover the pot of the pine with plastic while treating to avoid drippings , and be careful during the period of treatement that the water dripping from needles do not drop onto soil .. just 2-3 weeks after treatemt only. Theo Jim Lewis a écrit dans le message : 000901c2c3d6$f883cc80$b7112cc7@pavilion... I've been doing some reading up on Mycorrhiza. mainly because ive seen it as aproduct offered at local nursery. Its mainly spoken about in realtion to black pines. And some controvery about Mycorrhiza and fertilizer. im interested in if it would be a good addition to all plants no just the pines. eg. japanese maples, oaks, sweet gum etc. And what is you opinon to add it yo juvenille plants? On Bonsai and Mycorrhiza: 1. There is NO one-kind-fits-all Mycorrhiza; Mycorrhiza are extremely species specific. 2. If you need Mycorrhiza, they/it almost always will come. With no effort on your part. I dunno why. Or how. (Maybe Nina does.) 3. The so-called "function" of Mycorrhiza is to make hard-to-use nutrients more accessible to the plant. For potted trees, we supply all the nutrients they need, and in an easily useable form, so there's no real need for Mycorrhiza (though Mycorrhiza probably are there; Mycorrhiza tend to develop even on bare-rooted plants). 4. Reportedly, Mycorrhiza tends to disappear when a plant is heavily fertilized. Many pesticides (plant, animal, and fungal) adversely affect Mycorrhiza. So, save your money and don't worry about adding or developing Mycorrhiza. Jim Lewis - - Tallahassee, FL - Our life is frittered away by detail . . . . Simplify!
