Lilly pilly air layer ?

Hi guys

I have a large 4 inch Lilly pilly layer that has just grown a sufishent amount of roots and I was wondering if it should be ok to remove it this late in the season or should I leave until spring ?

I actually Put on a layer on an Oak last night and will take off when ready in about 2 months with no worries in Sydney

If you are like me and a sheltered warmish spot then OK. We shoud have another 2 months growing here easily.

Hi Paulneill,
As Ken has said, it should be fine. Give a drink of Seasol and keep it in dapple shade until you start to see new growth. You can give it a drink of Seasol each week. When you see some good new growth, start to expose it to more sunshine.

Thanks guys wasn't. Sure if everything slowed right down come autum . I guess we have a longer growing season compared with colder climates . I have a plum tree layer as well that has plenty of roots now should it be ok to remove ?

I'm surprised that you are planning to do that layer so late ken would the oak tree not just sit dormant until spring . being a deciduous tree ?
