John Naka's Bonsai Techniques II page 3 shows an air layering technique I'd
never seen before where he air layers the middle section of a branch and
gets roots on both sides. He doesn't say if the end of the branch will die
off or not. He does not appear to cut the bark 100% all the way round
either, though.

I have heard that you can/cannot put two airlayers on
the same branch. Anyone tried this? I have lots of
overgrown stuff that is overgrown because I think I
should airlayer. I suppose I could do long airlayers,
then airlyer the airlayer after the first pass is
rooted and stable.


You can do several on one plant, but not on the same branch.
The nutrients/water/whatever the roots/leaves need will get cut
off from one or the other one of the layers.
