Just showing off my air layer on Celeste tree that is about 5 weeks old. I read that air layering is almost 100% effective, but my talents beat that by a factor of four! Only 1 of 4 showing roots :-)

Hi,
Good job !
If while planting you plant it a bit deeper, the 4 stems might make their own roots, and you'll be able to separate them later as independent trees ... ( since you're looking for 4 trees) .
