I went out there and fixed it. I took 7 leaves off, add more medium and wrapped it up. I used the handles on the grocery bags to tie it up - seemed to work well, easier then trying to tie the string on it. Then wrapped in foil.

Looks good. That's a nice, healthy tree. I'm sure it will work. I did my first few air layers over the past couple months, and they are almost fool-proof. :) Previous thread: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Help-now-please!!!!!!!!!!-6020827 edit: opps, the link to Jo-Ann's previous thread does not translate well. Don't know how to fix it. __________________ WillsC's new fig forum: http://www.Ourfigs.com (and blueberries)

I was just trying to link to the thread JoAnn started on the same subject of air-layering her tree here yesterday for the sake of continuity. __________________ WillsC's new fig forum: http://www.Ourfigs.com (and blueberries)

Good luck with it JoAnn. Next year you will likely be airlayering a lot more as I think you will like the results.
