You should contemplate air layering the tree in two places giving you three trees. First air layer above the first major foliage mass and half way between that mass and the next. Second layer half way between the second mass and the next major curve above that point. This will give you three trees with some pretty good possibilities.
No.Yep but the 2 air layer levels can't be done on the trunk otherwise the sap will be block at the upper level and nothing will get to the lower one, no?
Layers "in-line" generally will not work; basically for the reason you described.Yep but the 2 air layer levels can't be done on the trunk otherwise the sap will be block at the upper level and nothing will get to the lower one, no?
I'd suggest watching a couple Ryan Neil videos on bending trunks, get some raffia and stout wire and twist that trunk into a small, compacted, interesting trunk line.
You could but you will likely crack it. If you cut it or chop it (no difference just terminology) dust the cut portion of the severed portion with rooting hormone and see if you can get it to root. They root well and I have rooted them as thick as a good sized pencil.Should I keep the second bunch of foliage at the second/right side bend and just bend it upward ?
