Posts: 1,622	Forsythia Air Layer In our front garden is a large forsythia that has ben neglected somewhat, and is a bit like a giant broom. I decided to chop it down drastically to regenerate it, and in the meantime I left one branch unmolested, and I made an air layer from it. It has some prety gnarly branches there and the stem is about 2 inches thick. Will post a pic as soon as i gt a mo. I have been told that forsythias dont work as their stems are hollow but boy did i have a hard time sawing them! Hollow my foot! __________________ Today is or was yesterday's tomorrow

Just cut off a branch and stick it in Regards, Dave __________________ "You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight" RUSH (resist)

Posts: 1,622	yes i know about forsythia, but this way i get a good thick stem to start with and a head that looks pretty cool, with potential. In other words i get a potensai rather than just a rooted cutting. __________________ Today is or was yesterday's tomorrow
