I’ve heard that oak are difficult to air layer but this odd little tree has a strange bend at the to which had to go so I decided that I had nothing to lose.
Air layers are not my strong point but I have had some success on a hawthorn recently. I find the hardest bit is holding everything in place while you wrap it and secure the plastic. This bent branch is almost horizontal so I thought a plant pot might be easier but how would I keep the soil in? Then I had this idea to use a cut off plastic bottle and it worked a treat.
Now for the long wait.
Has anyone else successfully layered an oak?
