Wathcing it now :)

How did you manage to get all that new growth below the airlayer? Perhaps the airlayer did that? By that way i don't need to count on new growth when I chop i autumn, the new growth already appear before I chop the airlayer of. Interesting.

Simply it happened!, May it be because that time, I left the cut below the airlayer exposed

But if there are not shoots doesn't matter at all. New grow will appears after the trunk chop if the tree is healthy.

Good luck!

Thank you for your help!

Last question.
I can see on one of your pictures that you put a wire around the trunk.
Do you do that to make radial roots, when you make a airlayer?

I find shoots appear often just below a layer. So far, I have concluded it is due to the absense of Auxins, as the downward flow from the growing canopy is broken. In absense of auxins, dormant buds wake up and start popping.
