Here's a Winged Elm air layer I started on 7/8. When I checked it on 8/24 it had finally started putting out roots (@sorce could be right ). So I cut it down and potted it up earlier today. I'm excited about this one because I think it has good movement in the trunk already and has good corky growth. I'm thinking it could see a bonsai pot in a few years for ramification.
It started out around 8' tall from the bottom of the layer to the top of the plant, and the main trunk is about 12.5" tall from the soil but there's probably a couple inches buried. I pruned it back some hoping there's not too much foliage left to over work it.
What do you guys think, any critiques or advice? I might wire the top up a little more but not sure...
I should have plenty of season left to get decent root growth and could start growing the apex and branches next year. I dug up two saplings this spring also and they've taken off so hopefully this does well. I have high hopes for this one
