This light pole straight Tamarack has movement at the very top.
I ringed and potted to air layer this tree in late May.

About a month ago, I checked the moss ball for roots but didn’t see a thing.
There was a good callus forming around the top.

I scraped of the callus, and the ringed area more. + added more rooting hormone.

A month later, I’ve checked the Moss ball and saw a few thick roots forming.

That’s cool, but the top is losing color so I’m not sure how to proceed as we are coming in to fall. You can see all the long new growth it has made up top.

Wondering if I just leave it be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
