Re: Air layer timing

James, Wait till they are putting out new buds in the spring. When the sap is up in the tree the ring of bark you cut will seperate at the right place, at the cambium layer. Most deciduous trees can be layered and will normally root quicker than conifers and bradleaf evergreens.
