Hi all,
I have started this thread, as I had previously posted on one of Bohdi's threads. Please have a look at the thread. Crataegus laevigata
I didn't think it was right to keep posting on Bohdi's thread, thus the new thread.
The layers have taken very well. Here are some photos of the layers at this stage.
Layer No1
Layer No2
Layer No3
Regards Ray

Re: Air Layering Crataegus lobulata
Well done Ray 
if i can offer any advice it would be to leave it alone now for, at least 12-24 months and get to work with seasol to promote roots. I wonder if they will flower this year? Mine have not as yet but they keep growing.

Airlayered a cork bark elm and a chinese maple two days ago using the technique which you outline in your books. I will keep you posted on progression. I have not been able to get the same brands of components you outline in your books, but the technique is the same.
I have a couple of maples and English Elms I also want to do. I am likely to be moving in the next few months, so need to be careful not to increase my stock too much, if any.

Thanks for the update. Hope they go well. Trust your move goes well for you. Will you have space for your bonsai?

Re: Air Layering Crataegus lobulata
Hi folks,
This is an update on how the layers have grown. I am taking them to the School of Bonsai tomorrow, so thought I would grab a couple of shots before attacking them. Sadly they have been somewhat neglected this year. Once I remove some of the longer growth I should get a lot more vigour in the areas I would like to develop.
Regards Ray
