I just never founded anything about airlayers, which is uncomforting because is looks that the only ways is softwood cutting or seeds.
That would be like 8 years to get a nice and thick trunk tree.

Had someone made an airlayer on this type of tree? How it goes? How much care?

Additional question: black olive are fast or low growing trees?

Thanks for the help

Rephrase:

Someone has succeeded airlayering an black olive (Bucida Spinosa)?
