I am planning to air layer a beech this winter/early spring. I have seen examples of multiple layers performed on trees, particularly japanese maple at the same time, usually nursery stock on several branches simultaneously.
Question to all, can more than one layer be done on the trunk? First, a near ground layer, 2" above root line, and second 24" or more inches up the trunk? The tree is too tall, 36" or more, and I wish to reduce height and get 2 trees. There are numerous branches on the tree, so there is plenty of vegetation between the two layer points, and above the second point (full crown). Can this be done in one season, or better done in steps?
Thanks, James
