As the title proclaims, I have access to a large, (40+ wish) year old crab apple at one of the places I do work for. There's a really gnarly bit (due to periodic pruning) that I'd like to air layer off (~2.5 inches thick). I know that newer wood is better/ideal to air layer. But the section above it has some real nice character IMHO (not to mention real nice taper. From 2.5 inches to a 1/4 inch is about six inches).
Has anyone had luck air layering older, thicker crab apples?
