I would like ti ask if anybody has experience with ground layer or air layer on any pear tree?
I have collected wild pear and it has lousy nebari, new roots are necessary.
Maybe thread grafting could be an option?
Thanks
Air Layer will work and so will ground layer if you refer to the tourniquet method. Fruit trees will ground layer slower though and can take 3 instead of 2 years. That is based on our season here.
I did air-layer on old pear branch. It worked in few months, I left it there through winter and separated last spring. This is it - photos from last spring.
Well, the funny part is that the tree did survive attempt and is living. I have to try once again but have a lot of work on much better material and more urgent bonsai work lol
