Costas, just wondering if you girdled the branch and applied rooting hormone for the bay leaf and plum air layers?

UPDATE: OT as far as the thread is concerned, but Rafed asked (#35):

Are your winters that mild to where you can grow Loquats?


That question has now been answered:

So are you there Rafed? I've even been able to make use of one of the pics as my avatar - finally. We've already eaten a few, and they are sensational. Almost as good as my best figs. Will post more pics at next harvest, which will be tomorrow.

How's your giant air-layer doing?

They sure look it, but have you considered growing new trees from the seeds? That's what I'll be doing with mine.

BTW, did you know the seeds can be eaten as a prophylactic against cancer? Go easy tho - there's cyanide in them there seeds.
