Apologies if this question has been asked before. I can only find questions about vanilla air layering Arakawa Maples.
I've found a few sources of Arakawa pre-bonsai that have established root bases but there's a very clear line between the non-Arakawa root stock and the graft point where the craggy bark starts to appear.
I like to think that it would be possible to simply take an airlayer (or ground layer for that matter) of the entire main trunk just above the supposed graft point but I'm sure this is a risky exercise.
Has anyone done this before? Is this at all possible without killing the entire tree?
Thanks all!
