I have a huge black olive tree. Probably 30 inches tall and about 24 inches wide. But it has no taper to the trunk at all. It has alot of potential for several smaller trees. My question is.....what would be the best time of year to air layer.? I live in zone 7 ...southeast Tennessee. The tree is keep inside during the winter. It seems very healthy and after the initial stress of its ride in a dark box from Florida......it has bloomed and grown new sprouts just about non stop. I'm a rookie as I have never tried to layer a tree but I figure my odds of success are much greater if I do it at the right time of year. What is the best time of year to preform the layering.? The tree is much larger than I want.....so I figured to try to get several smaller trees from it.
