English Elm root cutting

[Maiden69]

Coming along great, my yatsubusa root cuttings are at the same stage as yours on the first post... I think one of them could be working into something similar.

I'm curious why you decided to separate the layer now rather than in autumn. Was it just due to an abundance of healthy roots?

Yes thats right, I did the same with a Beech layer yesterday. I think both will adjust fairly quickly, more so the Elm.

Temps will be cooling a bit here over the next few days, with less intense sun. I use the weather forecast at times when making these types of decisions

Also here in Britain this week Ive just separated a Cork bark elm ,Mountain maple and Potentilla air layers which seem to be all happily establishing with no signs of wilting. All had strong new rooting so our current cooler weather after our recent heatwave is helping them to establish after separating from their mother plants .
