Thanks waynea!
Mike,
I used a 50/50 of Fafard 52mix and Miracle gro 60% from Costco. I did cut the bark on the bigger air layer, but just barely took a sliver out, added some powder hormones to the cut, pinned it down with sod staple, add additional soil on top of the cut. As the roots grew, I took out the pin, added more soil and needed to add additional brace so more soil could be added.
On the smaller one, it was a green branch. So I just scratched it a few times and put very little rooting hormones on it. By the time I remembered to do those things, the bottle was already on and I was working in a tight area. Finally foiled to keep the sun off of the roots.
Both Air layers were put on the drip system, so they were watered twice daily.
Still attached to the mother tree with drip system.
Right after it was taken off.
Small one, when I started this the branch, it was only 1' high.
