Nice video! I like that glad press and seal idea!. Looks like it would make it somewhat easier. I have 4 air layers going 2 in those black plastic bubbles that they sell online and that was pretty simple. Air layered a Sango kaku , osakazuki , ryusen, and kojo no mai . Hopefully they all work out.
Don't you want to tie the layering off as much as possible to keep the water from evaporating though? Since if you basically keep it completely sealed from the outside air there'd be no way for the water in the moss to escape from under the plastic(?) Just wondering since that's the way I've mostly seen it done
All around the yard. A blood plum (Prunus cerasifera atropurpurea), a European yew, a cotoneaster (horizontalis, I guess), a false cypress (not sure about the exact species, likely Hinoki), a field maple, and as an experiment I'm trying whether an old fuchsia trunk air layers ... ;-) From the yew and cotoneaster I had separated one each last year already.
What’s the success rate for air layering? I want to air layer my sango kaku jm above a graft but I’m afraid to kill it as I’ve never none an air layer before
Depends on factors like timing and species but if the air layering were to fail it would just callus/heal over. Seems unlikely it would kill the whole tree but I'm not sure how big yours is or the branch you're thinking of air layering.

Sounds good! I have never tried the black plastic one - let me know how it goes and hope for all success!! 😁
@@MomijiEn will do!
would be great to see an update to this video
Coming up in 2 weeks!
Very nice, great job :-)
Thank you!

That works too. :)
Have you done any air layering this year?
Yes, quite a few. But i am still waiting before i'll open them to have a look. Exciting as every year 😄😏
Yes, a JM and a Brazilian Rain Tree. No roots visible on JM yet but staying positive.

Currently got Bloodgood, Azalea, and Crepe Myrtle air layers that I'm looking foward to checking for roots and seperating in the upcoming month!
Update: the fuchsia air layer shows roots, answering that question. ;-) Will wait the current heat wave out before separation, though.
👍👍👍
Thank you!

Same problem I'm interested as well

I'd def recommend you to watch the video :) and try a few with some branches that you are okay to lose if failed.
🤞
