As you can see from this next picture, the grafting is far too obvious.
Air layering is a must. It will also help developing good nebari.
My experience with connifers is very limited so I have a few questions:
How easy/fast do these trees layer?
Any other tricks besides taking out the bark and flooding it with rooting hormones?
Since the layer will only be about 5cm (2 inches) from the soil, still must I wrap it in sphagnum moss and use a plastic box around it?
Is it OK to air layer now in Spring?
Can I wire it at the same time or am I abusing?
Thanks.
