So I'm after some advice on tourniquet Method For Developing Nebari. Xanthoxylum piperitum which I think is from an air layer which originally failed and was recut hence the lower swelling (thats just a guess)
My plan is to wrap the tourniquet just below the original swelling and hopefully develop roots out of it.
I've not done the tourniquet method before, only regular air layering and i wanted to check my understand on using this method for root development.
1) Do I need to lower the tree in the pot or just cover the new roots with sphagnum moss while they develop?
2) is it an idea to use something like a CD to allow the roots to continually develop radially?
3) do you cut into the bark at when applying a tourniquet?
