    air layer - what went wrong?

    I don't know if it's relatable or helpful, but when I layer my crab, any branch under one half inch seems to throw roots but anything over a half inch seems to callous. I start the layers after the leaves have opened fully in the spring. Bob.

    I'm not a market pro so I don't know if all IPO's are sucked up by investment banking institutions at the initial offering. Seems to me that the big boys wanted what they thought would be a big bump up in price kept all to themselves.
