It will work with most trees. Beech would be an exception, it's hard to develop roots for them, and I am not sure about the Hornbeams.
To speed up the process, you can peel off a piece of bark from the bottom side of the branch (the side facing the soil) and rub some rooting hormone into the wound.
I don't really see the reason to develop aereal roots on non-tropical trees
, but it's a good way to propagate your trees using this method. After the roots are developed, you can just cut off the branch and plant it somewhere else.
