Re: Air Layering


Yes...exactly. He saw me trimming an evergreen and stopped me..and said,
"try this..and then sell it at the farmer's market instead just waisting
it". So, he showed me how. Very interesting stuff.

I tried air layering many years ago...so many I can't remember the results.
However I just did it to my Leonard Messel Magnolia about 10 dyas ago, but
not exactly in the traditional manner. I used the rooterpot instead of
wrapping. Other than that, it is the same method. I should know something
in 6-8 weeks. This is agreat way to get a larger clone much faster than
ordinary cuttings.
