Hello everyone! Just want to share another successful air layer. This time it's Igo. I really enjoy air layering - easy, simple, consistent results! Igo is supposed to be very good. I'm hoping to try fruits from the mother tree this year.

Pauly, from what I understand it is a common fig. __________________ Zone 9a, Central Florida "Be the change you want to see in the world" ~ Gandhi ebay ID: churl82

Ryan, looks awesome. Do you scrape the bark, add soil, and wrap? __________________ Jeff Central OH- Zone 6a Wish list-anything that will ripen in zone 6a.Souadi(obsessed with this one), Takoma Violet, Col de Dame anything -currently rooting: MBVS, DK, RdB, VdB. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world.

Wow! The air layer looks perfect, what did you use for soil ?

Jeff, I did take some of the superficial layer off but I have noticed that the majority of the roots in all of my air layers so far are coming out of the untouched parts. So, I am actually going to try air layering without taking off the superficial layer to see what would happen. Moonlight, thanks! I am using Lambert's Organic Potting Soil from Home Depot for my air layers. I also use those packing plastics filled with air to contain the soil. That's the plastic you see in the first picture. __________________ Zone 9a, Central Florida "Be the change you want to see in the world" ~ Gandhi ebay ID: churl82
