6 week airlayers had two i cut off this tree like this and a vdb about the same amount of roots as this too.these were bark removed and used hormone ,i tried others without cutting bark,they did not have but a few tiny roots ,don't even know if they will make it,i heard both ways are good ,but i will never airlayer again without removing the bark and hormone .everybody has there favorite way i guess ?

I did an air layer on my Sweet George, I removed around 1/2" of bark all the way around, no rooting hormone. When I opened the 1 gallon pot, there was such a large root mass that I wondered where the soil went!!!
Looks great, very nice job Chuck! Congrats!Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

Looks good.
I've only done a few so far but I got similar roots by randomly scratching the bark without hormone.
It works so much better than cuttings.Don - OH Zone 6a Wish list: Verdolino, Black CelesteComment
