I air layered a 2" trunk Bald Cypress with bagged moss over 5 weeks ago, no roots that i can tell. Today i noticed above the air layer the foliage was wilting/curling, and all curled at the tops of the apex. I would say foliage is 65/35 above the air layer. It has been putting on new branches below the air layer and the bottom seems healthy.
I can post of pic if need be but was wondering if anyone has similar experience. Maybe the roots can't support the top all of the sudden even though it's been growing all over the tree. Is it possible it is trying to feed off the air-layer roots and it's not able to keep the foliage from drying out? FYI, the bag always has condensation on it and has never dried out.
Really, this is my only thoughts unless pest related but then wouldn't the whole tree be affected? I find it hard to believe the roots can't support the foliage as it has been doing fine for 5 weeks....too much sun? It was cloudy most of the day. I dunno.
