Place your bets on the success or failure of these projects! I would especially appreciate feedback from folks who have specifically tried ground layering on Chinese quince or Korean hornbeam
I have this Chinese quince and Korean hornbeam, both with great trunk potential but hopeless roots. I decided to ground layer them, but the problem is I had limited vertical space to work with. So I decided to try a hybrid concrete technique like below. The idea is the concrete would prevent the short gap from being bridged.
Chinese quince in progress
KH in progress
Getting the cambium out of the nooks and crannies was difficult
Completed Chinese quince and KH. I backfillled with soil etc of course.
