airlayer

Hello everyone, I recently started my first 2 air layers. One from a large in ground Pear Tree and one on a little Ginko Biloba “Elmwood”. I need some help on the Ginko. I started this air layer 19 days ago. The tree has been healthy and has been growing pretty vigorously the last couple...

Hello, I have just received this beautiful Maple (Acer Deshojo) from my gf. I am wondering what to do with it? It has two leaders from the top third of the truck. Maybe I should airlayer the larger leader? I am also thinking to airlayer the first third of main truck

To begin, I took an airlayer off a Ficus religiosa today. I know, terrible time of year but I got bored. Also, it’s been a relatively mild winter here in NE Florida and the plant is still pushing growth. The whole point of this experiment was to induce the accelerated formation of nebari by...

Probably a flowering pear? It has a really nice bark, but full of big thorns. It's a wild seedling that grows from a small crack in the boulders in my backyard. It has never flowered so it can't be that old. Maybe 10 years old? I trimmed it down a bit a couple of years ago to make it branch...
