Dwarf Barbados cherry air layers and future chops!

Alright, thanks to BNut homies i identified this thing, and after dragging this tree out of the shady corner of my yard, it's time to seek out some of its potential.

Air layer time

Canadian peat and perlite mix and some sphagnum on top


Two air layers ready to grow, might do another 2 or 3 more. I want to get as many trees out of this and take 80% off the top little by little.

Once I milk this tree for every possible air layer and cutting, I'm going deep on the chops. Looks like a nice tree can be developed from a chop around there

Theres a guy in the UK that gets pretty good results using perlite and sphag moss in the layer mix.

Money in the bank! Booyah! (although they root super easily anyway, these will make cool trees since they already have some branch structure and girth)

Here's the tree-view
here
And the other bigger branch rooted as well, it will make a more interesting treeGonna give it another week to see if the roots fill the bag a bit more and I'm potting it! propagation season has me burning through pots

I'm air layering that branch that goes vertical off the first branch on the left, parallel to the trunk...another bonus tree lol
