One year, our family had a Weenie Roast on the beach in our Marina. We used some Willow branches from my backyard for wiener sticks. When we were done, we stuck them in the sand and jokingly said they'd be trees next year. Much to our surprise, two of them survived. 50 years later, one is still there.

[@Terminated555]

That's awesome they are very easy plants to root I'm surprised they did so well in the sand tho

[@2crazyinalabama]

I enjoyed this video! I've been quite successful with just sticking a cutting in a bucket of my good soil and watching it take off. I've rooted 3 fig trees from my mama tree in the last 3 years. My first one is now in the ground as of 2 weeks ago and almost 3' tall and is fruiting for the 2nd year this year. It started out as a 14" 'stick' that I stuck down in the old bottom part of a shop vac that the motor had burned out on years ago. *I can't trash something, especially on wheels, if I can use it for planting!*. I left it in the vac base for 2 years watching it in awe as it fruited during it's second summer. Less than a dozen figs, but still a success! Rooted 2 fig trees for a neighbor last year and she now has them in her yard. Today I'm going to snag a mulberry branch from one neighbor and a pear limb from another and get them started to add to my food forest. Also will be air-layering on 4 of my larger blueberry bushes. Have a great day! Patricia

[@ArkansasWoodcutter]

Hubba hubba talk to me lady. That is amazing. We bent the blueberry over and scuffed the bark and rooting hormone then covered with soil and a rock to keep it in the pots. I did manage to start some cuttings from my blueberry over the winter...we will see.

[@ArkansasWoodcutter]

Thanks. Dude you are always surprising me with new stuff. Do you have a pecan farm?

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

At o e time I had 300 trees and my wife’s uncle died and I got scared and sold out. My wife’s cousin is the only one that remained farming and he is now helping my son get into farming so that’s what I’ll do in a few years when I retire. My sone cruises timber during the day and farms are night/weekends about 150 acres. My wife’s cousin is down to about 1000 and he still has a few hundred established trees.

Over 3 months. It's dry here and had to make sure I kept the soil moist.

Hi, what would happen if your air layer cuts were further apart, To create a longer deeper rootball ? Would this excellerate the growth since the rootball is 3 inches long instead of 1 inch long ?

[@disabledvet5127]

The key to air layering is making sure the soil around the branch is COMPACTED really good.

[@louinwy1]

Since the roots all form from the top bark above the stripped portion, you only need rooting powder above the cut on the intact bark.

[@theroostergardenandcityhom9323]

Morning Captain woodcutter. I have been trying to get my fig trees done like that for a long time. And my neighbor has a bush that I need to get cuttings off of. It seems like there is always something else that gets me sidetracked. ( grinning ) Have a super day Captain.

[@iamseely1338]

Go to a hobby store near you. get some clear two piece plastic bulbs. use them as your air layering ball. I’ve done it. they work great or you can order cutting globes that work also. At hobby store you can get most every size you need. Take a Dremel tool and a diamond tip bit to put hole in ball for size of branch going through it. Hope you try this and the best part is they are reusable.
