Hello,
Not expecting a great deal of comments, as there isn't much to say about it yet really!
This is an air layer I started nearly 10 weeks ago, and what its roots currently look like.
I did worry that they aren't quite the colour of roots I was expecting but, I leave that to better minds than mine to tell me. I think they are ok. It lives under a canopy so gets so sun, so no burning of the roots. It's part of a big, wide spreading pyracantha tree that's been in the garden for probably over a decade I would guess, maybe even 2. I've only lived here for 6 years.
Any thoughts on it, appreciated as always.
My thoughts were that I would hope to seperate it, at least 6-8 weeks before the first frost, as I don't think it'd be good to leave it over winter, through danger of it being damaged by cold. Separating it that many weeks before, should be long enough (i have read) in order for it to be strong enough to get through winter.
