cut cut
There is a bottom cut, but not all the way through at
the two cut sites. They are stuffed with moss,
wrapped, and cut off when roots form on either side of
the above indicated airlayer. My question is whether
roots also from on the piece more towards the branch
tip.
This seesm to be a variation on the
put-a-pebble-in-a-slit-and-burry-in-the-ground
technique. but ont hat one the roots form at the end
of the growing tip.

Afterwards he appears to peel the bark off the
bottom of the air-layered
horizontal limb to expose even more cambium and get
even more roots round
the edge.

Interesting. I wonder if he also got roots on the
part furthest away from the tree as well.

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.

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.
