"Fully" successful because I got ordinary JM to root before but then had fungal issues I recognised too late.
The straight JM rooted In about 4 weeks, the roots came out from the upper edge.
Deshojo I checked after 2 months, there was some callus but no roots. Didnt cut anything, just reapplied rooting hormone.
4 weeks later, small roots came from between the nodes a few centimeters above the ringbarked section.
The airlayered branch had not been upright, and so the roots only came from the underside.
I cut back the foliage hard and severed the airlayer.
It had maybe 3 1cm roots. I did not place it in a greenhouse, just partial shade.
Needless to say it suffered drought damage and threw off most of its leaves.
Luckily it has recovered and is pushing buds and sending out shoots all over now.
I guess I will let it grow freely for a year before dealing with the roots and fieldgrowing it.
Deshojo is my favorite variety so far. Peter Chan introduced me to it through his videos.
