Thanks for the profile info, updated. 7a.
Nice. I like what you have done. Gives me ideas. Thanks.
I’ve just read that this species can withstand sub zero temperatures as long as there is no wind and no waterlogged roots. I guess I’ll erect a wind break and still bury the pot.
The D trees in mulch under the bench along North foundation and the EGreens in the Vegi garden buried in leaves. Boat, wife and myself in Florida. LOL
How long have you been trying? It may still be recovering from being layered? I have one large old one, 3-4" diameter trunk, and it still throws out shoots at the base, and everywhere else randomly and always within a few weeks after pruning.
I admit this is only the second growing season since the air layering. The limbs that were present from before have active growth and the "new" tops are growing fine. I read somewhere the long shoots should be pinched and not cut and the pinching will encourage ramification. Maybe I'm impatient. I'm happy they are all healthy and seem to be growing fast.
I was thinking about trying this approach just yesterday. I’ve never done it so I will just have to see who replies.
Are you talking about my profile image?
Please keep us all informed. For me, any failures are as great a learning experience as the successes. As I said earlier, There seems to be a lack of written information on this species except for propagation from cuttings which appears to be easy.
