Default creating an aerial root

I have a green island ficus with some aerial roots. It also has a fairly
new and low branch on the trunk. Could I pull that branch down to the
soil and ground layer it? Then after it has rooted cut off the leafy top
that remains beyond the rooted branchthus having only the branch down to
the soil and the roots. I suppose the branch would have to reverse its
flow of sap and nutrients. Has anyone ever tried this? Those of you who
know the Physiology of plants, is it possible?


thanks
