CHINESE ELM & JAPANESE LARCH AIR LAYERED
this morning i cleaned up these two trees , like everything else they have popped crazy. there for i needed to get rid of new shoots i dont need in the designs. they both needed to be air layered and i was recently inspired by a method Graydon use's on his jbp's, so off i went. i did however mix it up with what i know. if you guys have read on the ground layering of my little chinese elm earlier on this thread. i use a dremel to carve a chanel around the trunk from where i hope to grow new roots. the chanel is carved on a diagonal so that in a future repot the planting angle will maximise the movement.
