Callitris dig
Posted: October 12th, 2021, 7:54 am
Hi everyone,
This plant was taken out of the ground last year and is throwing out great new foliage. I have been tip pruning the top to encourage more even growth.
It came from the Liverpool plains so I am assuming it is a Black Cypress Pine (Callitris endlicheri) but it could be White Cypress (Callitris glaucophylla). I am hoping someone with more knowledge could give some clarity here please.
My main reason for posting is to ask wether or not I should air layer the trunk? Upon removal it has been noted that the lower 100mm of trunck had been buried and therefore the thicker, outer bark layer has been removed. Will this grow back? If not, I would like to air layer but am not sure if the tree is a suitable candidate for this method. Any advice would be much appreciated.
