Woah 😳 Vine Maple Roots popping out of the surface on the upper air-layer. This will be a strong one. Nice lower branching coming in on the base too.

Took a little less than 8 weeks, started this Aug. 3, 2020

My attempts with vine maple this year did not root well. I attempted end of May and had no growth by end of August. Any tips on your process? Looks great!

May depend on the health of the parent tree. Normal process, cut the band, rooting hormone and packed with sphagnum moss. I’ve been keeping my air layers wide open on top so I can easily manage moisture levels.
