Cheers isitangus,

Had a search for air layering a murraya but couldn't find anything in Google. How easy?

I have read some where tropical are hard to air layer? Anyone tried it?

The leaves at compound and do not reduce much, so suit a larger trée

Here is a link to my progression and boy do I need to update it!
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1550

Will see if I can today as the last photo was 3 years ago.

Here is a thread of me collecting 2 last year, you can see how hard they can be cut back.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=19206&hilit=+murraya

Both of these had at some time in their past had soil boult up higher around the bases, and they had ground layered themselves.
given that, I think they will layer easily, but not sure about big cuttings tho.
