Carl, I am very impressed with your boxwood airlayer. All the ones I have seen around here have not taken. This is the first I have seen. Your roots look fabulous. Any secret method I have missed?

Al:
I am not sure that there isn't any secret to my air layering, in fact I just use regular loose Bonsai soil.I did place a piece of copper wire above the top cut and I made sure I had a good clean cut on the bark, where I wanted the roots to grow. I've included a picture showing the roots before separateing the air layer. Compare this picture with the ones above. Although, I used a plastic Colander, which I believe allows oxygen to enter through the sides of the pot/colander. Other than that, maybe just a bit of luck!

Carl,
Yes, it is mesh on all four sides and on bottom. I tried to find a better pic of them....this is about as good I have gottent the mesh to come in...... These baskets are used for aquatic plants in ponds. Paul

PDBBonsai:
I should imagine that those Pond baskets would work as well as the Colander. Many thanks for the effort to locate a picture... Much appreciated.
