Was planning on trying to airlayers some of my JBP's this year. My origanl plan was start them here in March. Looks like we are still going to have temps below freezing over the next 2 weeks. 30 degrees this week and a night of 26 next week. What do people think to early or ok to start them?

Osoyoung thanks for the replay. I will get them started then. Wanted to start them when the plants are normally putting out new roots. Was worried about the freezing temp affecting them.

Just keep in mind, pines arent easy to airlayer, in fact they dont respond well to it at all and most fail. If you do manage to get a successful airlayer, it will take up to 2 years or more before you can seperate the new tree. In fact, I cant remember reading about any being sucessfully pulled off, except maybe zushio white pine. Maybe others here have examples of successful pine air layers?
