Thomas, is it worth an experimenrt? Should you attempt an airlayer in the spring? It looks very nice but the reverse taper(not that visible in the pix) is a problem.

I remember something Bill Valavanis was saying about a maple, you should do the drastic stuff early on, that way if it does not make it you have not invested that much time into it. Of course this is my read on what Bill was saying.

Yes I know there are things that need to wait but an airlayer is better done now than later. The key Question is how do these juniper procumbens take to layering??

Thomas this is a thought, you are better knowledgeable on this than I!!
