I have the same tree you have. I am not sure how well it will air layer, however, when I first bought the tree it was soooooo rootbound there was no soil for it anymore, roots had come through the bottom holes, and I was just a beginer.... What did I do, I cut off approximatly 9/10ths of the roots the day I got it. It was transplanted into regular dirt (to be redone in 50 50 turface and orchid bark this spring) and it is growing well. This tells us one thing, this tree grows like mad. I would take basic air layering techniques and apply them to some of the okay, but not good branches, and test it out, if it works, then do some others, and since it is an actuall tree, you should have less worries about it dieing...
