... for the encouragement and the quick posting. I'd developed the notion that air layering this tree shouldn't be hard--and as I said, I've done it before, but never with the "must succeed" tag on the effort, nor, as I noted, with a Japanese maple. All my indicators are that it shouldn't be difficult--as long as I'm patient--but it's nice to hear similar from you. Gotta go--even as I write this, I spy a rabbit in my garden, showing entirely too much interest in my bonsai. Thanks again.
