Can Juniper Prostrata Nana be easily air layered? How slow are they to strike roots?
Or, will they strike roots in large cutting, like cutting of thicker than 1"? :lost:

In Queensland they are really easy to air-layer. I would assume Sydney would be similar. They get roots on them within weeks. The quickest I've done the complete air layer was 6 weeks during spring time. It must have been the right conditions. It was on a tree I wanted to show at the club show so it was a gamble when I cut it off early and it survived with the large amount of roots it had on it.

Junipers can be a bit slow to strike from cuttings so larger cuttings would be hit and miss. Far more reliable and quicker as layers.
