I can, in fact, confirm- air layering is MAGIC✨!
Only a short couple months ago- on a mission to increase my tree crops- I made my first attempt at air layering.
I’m proud to say that the jocote air layers were a spectacular success🙌🏾. I can’t articulate the feeling of opening a tin foil wrapped tree branch, discovering roots, then cutting that new little tree from the mother tree & planting it into the ground- giving it space to create more fruit to eat. ‘Unstoppable’ is the word that comes to mind. Maybe the video below will come close to conveying the experience.
I still have many air layers (performed on a multitude of fruit varieties) to open from Spring.
One thing I know for sure: There will be LOTS more air layering in my future😉
