Air layering

Hello and welcome to my Air layering page, i am going to attempt to air layer my Copper Beech
I have tried this for the last 2 years with no success, i have read as much as i can and i now think i am ready for success, fingers crossed.

Below a pictures.

The air layer on the Copper Beech,
started on the 19/02/11. 01/03/12 Their has been some root development
In the last year but i dont think it is read to
be parted from the tree just now as i can only see one
root and that is not from the cut i made in the bark.
