I peeked in the pot today, and there were little white nubs poking out at the layer site. I am guessing that I will be able to remove it in less than two months.
This plant was in the back yard before I dug it up, and its branches grew long and low to the ground. Every few weeks there was another branch ground layering itself, so when I dug out the main tree there were probably 20 ground layer clones left to hide the fact that I removed the bush.
Anyways, based on the way this species readily propagates, I estimate two months at the most before I can separate it.

A different question: what is the best way to make large cuts? For example, I have learned that you don't make a big concave cut on an azalea, but rather a rounded convex cut; which is opposite for maples.
Has anyone had experience which sort of cut works better?
