Hey thanks Ray... After this being successful I now have the confidence to tackle more air layers in the future.

Hi Bonsaiforest,
The trick is to take your time and make sure you remove all the cambium from the ringbark, and make very clean cuts, especially on the top cut.
Missing a space of about an inch in the front and another 1/2inch to the left of that You may not have removed all the cambium at these two spots. This is only a suggestion, because if you did get all the cambium off that may just be the nature of that tree. I have had roots not form all around a layer and I know I have definitely removed all the cambium.
Regards Ray
