Crab Apple Roots
I was out looking around my stock plants today and noticed one of my crab apples was growing aerial roots. Never seen it before and I am putting it down to the weather. Rory showed the original, but I'm claiming silver.

Re: Crab Apple Roots
I've been seeing aerial roots on a few things lately, other than figs that is - they are putting out more roots than leaves
I also assume its weather related

Re: Crab Apple Roots
We've never grown aerial roots on figs down here in Canberra, until this year - it's normally too dry. Hope you North Coast folk are travelling OK...

Re: Crab Apple Roots
Interesting.
I have only ever bought one crab apple. All root cuttings have leaves out. I know have several
Are you going to try and propagate??

Re: Crab Apple Roots
No propagation for me, I have too many tress already.
