I'd like to airlayer a larch (Larix decidua), that has too long a trunk below the first branch but an abundance of branches upwards. I intend to coil wire tightly at a place of airlayer and use sphagnum moss. Will larch produce roots within one growing season, so that it could be cut and planted into the open by the fall? Will those tender roots survive winter in the open? I only have experience with airlayering of tropicals. Would appreciate any other tips from experience.
