looking for detailed photos of air layering, showing depth of cuts

Some pictures few weeks ago.

Yeah sure, in theory.
And also in real life where one could see even more extreme set up. But in fact how many trees will die before one roots in such environment?
If it was that easy to get roots then we would just have to chop branches and trunks at the right place, put them in a pot and water them constantly to get a new tree no?
I actually did that with a retusa and it worked but the true is that their is a high % of chance that it will fail, unless you do that with a willow.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing. No one is talking cutting, we are talking layering.

Now this is a layer. Ground layer of a pyracantha.

This one was also tricky.

Cut off and potted?

Here is a crape that I took here in June...But I think most people make it too hard. I use just regular garden pruners and carve the top and bottom of the bark= to the width of the trunk you are layering with sphagnum, wrap with black plastic, wrap the outside with bonsai wire to hold it and 4-6 weeks later you have your new tree! This guy was so fookin big, without help I had to nail the wet moss sections in order to hold it on the tree while I wrapped the plastic around with the wire. Remember the roots form on the top of the cut so concentrate your moss ball there...Hope this is somewhat useful to you.

Yes, sorry, I was mistaken by your sentence: "Cutting a branch or trunk as in a ground layer insures roots grow from..."
As I said to Vin the other day English isn't my first language and I misunderstood what you were saying.
