Hi Mauro, can you advise the best month to perform the air layer here in California?

👍👌🙂

I have a juniper I just repotted it a few weeks ago. I was wondering if I should remove the bark on it because of bugs 🪳 burrowing into it and it getting close to winter. Expose the read bark with the dead wood do you think that would be a good idea?

[@MauroStemberger]

@@timmywood9677 is always a good idea

[@yaroslavpronin5111]

Did you cut only single live vein? The second one will be cut only after successful rooting?

[@MauroStemberger]

@@yaroslavpronin5111 i airlayer both

[@murphyorama]

Is California Juniper the same as or similar to San Jose Juniper?

[@MauroStemberger]

@@murphyorama no is totally different

[@JCBerner]

It looks like you left a small line of bark were you removed the bark, also you didn't remove the life vain that goes inside the curve of the trunk? I would be surprised if it puts out roots when life vain is still partly intact around the base - how do you see this Mauro?

[@MauroStemberger]

Hello thank you for the question : both life vein where airlayered

[@JCBerner]

@@MauroStemberger thanks - good to know :) did you leave a small stem on the first one?

[@henktenkate1813]

What is the best time to do such a big airlayer?

[@MauroStemberger]

@@henktenkate1813 end of winter This was done in Feb in LA

[@gregoryh4601]

Sir maybe you should leave the Left side alone and Make a Pad over the dead Wood like on the Ride side so it would made the Juniper shorter and more Pyramid Shape and Compact. But now it looks very Tall

[@MauroStemberger]

@@gregoryh4601 thank you for your advice

[@Depotmaster]

thats a risky decison, and you'll have to mist it like 10 times a day now...

[@MauroStemberger]

@@Depotmaster is not necessary Just need to keep the sfagnum inside of the soil wet
