I started air layers on my jolly tiger and jh adriadic trees on july 7th, The tiger had a huge root ball, the adriatic was nowhere near being ready. You can by the pictures how well the tiger did, even has a fig on it though it's not too big.There were at least 6-9 more leaves on it but in that heat wave we had here about 2 weeks ago they fell off,,, no biggy they'll grow again. 1st pic shows the mother tree, 2nd the fig, 3rd the root ball and the last the new tree.
