Hi everyone,
I read that while root pruning, you should remove around the same amount of foliage in order to balance the tree. I know there's some contraversy to this, but, assuming there's validity to this theory, when air layering, is there any guideline as far as root-to-foliage/tree size ratio when separating an air layer?
I know it depends on how many roots have formed, but are there any guidelines to this technique? I've tried looking at various articles but none of them seem to mention this.
