Can I till Airlayer

Post by makro »

Hi,

I know it may be getting a bit late into the season, but I was wondering if I can still do a successful airlayering on the following in Melbourne

1. Chinese Elm
2. Acer Palmatum

Thanks
Cheers

Hi Makro,
When the tree is growing vigorously, go for it.
I plan to layer one this weekend.
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

No worries on doing either now
We have a good 4 months growth after christmas, 2 months to set roots, and 2 months to settle in before winter
