Just checked the progress of my first air layer for a good forum friend and look what I found!!!!!





Life is good;)

cool.. i'm about to put on on BM. should have done it this past weekend, but got held by some family issues. 

Roots, Baby!!!

Oh Hells Ya!!!!! Oh the possibilities!

Good job Rob!

Those big, thick, white roots are really nice!

Great start on the roots Rob:)  Always cool to get a nice surprise like that.

Thanks all! I do have one question though. That branch is pushing new leafs. Would you tip that branch to force more energy into putting out roots faster or just let it roll? I figure if its putting out roots now it probably wont stop but this is my first air layer ever so alittle advise would be nice.

Just let it roll

Very nice Rob. I've done air layers just like yours except without the plastic bag and have been very successful, but I like the bag idea for seeing the roots. I would just use foil and then peel it back and use a spray bottle to moisten. Worked great
Good luck, its looking really nice

10-4, Thanks!

Very nice!

Is that black mission or black madeira?

Thanks, Black Madeira

Don't mess with Mother Nature. Let it decide for itself. Plants have survived for eons knowing where to best utilize their energy.  :)

Good point Gina and well taken;) Are you tired of picking blueberries yet?

Looking good.
