Air layer

philgrayser · 07-11-2009, 05:35 AM

Hi this is my air layering of a Flamenco Willow. I did this about 6weeks ago. As you can see i put a pot of soil around the layer instead of moss as it doesnt disturb the roots when you cut it off and pot it up as it is already potted.
Ok i know willows root easily but i am still very happy with the results as it is my first ait layer. Any comments welcome, cheers Phil G.

Nice job. I am surprised you got that much root growth in 6 weeks in your cooler climate. I haven't had much luck with air layers. I've got 4 going right now on different trees, so fingers crossed I get that much root growing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank for the reply MB. I was quite suprised myself when i looked at the roots but it is a Willow which do root very easily and we have just finished a heat wave here in Scotland so i honestly dont know if that helped either. Thanks Phil.
