Tutorial: Marcotting in 5 steps (Air Layering)

[@MrMockingbird1313]

This is the best example I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Other videos do not explain removal of cambian layer very well.

[@todmiller6880]

I have watched several air layering videos, and your was the most informative and straight-forward. I can't wait to give it a go mate. Thanks!

[@lesliegrayson1722]

Kath, your famous. Its your duty to keep producing youtube vids for all your fans :D

[@markwhitecavage3507]

The plastic bag is pure genius. I tried today to do this using plastic wrap and I needed 4 hands to keep the sphagnum from falling on the ground! Thankfully I watched this video and grabbed some bags and followed their advice and it was a piece of cake. Now...I’m hoping I did everything else right so it works but I know step one, covering the wound with damp sphagnum, worked like a charm.

[@margaretsims4344]

What a great way of attaching the bag. Not so fiddly as other methods. Great job!

[@Do_not_assume]

Best demonstration. Really like the string tip and the use of pliers. Please post more marcotting videos of different trees.

[@irishka_zolotse]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful for at least two reasons, I learned a new word "marcotting" which is the same as air layering, just in Australian 🤗 and I LOVED how Dave used his old pliers to clean the ring from bark and cadmium layer! Thank you guys 4 sharing, I will definitely try in the spring on my Korean lilac, she smells so good, I want more of her kind for free!!!!

[@johnharrison4394]

Great Demonstration. First time I have seen the need to remove the Cambium Layer!! After many failures I now feel confident of success. Thank You😊

This tutorial is just what I was looking for. Recently I bought a abandone stoned terraces farm in Spain with lots of mature olive trees. Some terraces are empty, so I will apply this technic to propagate the plants on the empty stones terraces. Thank you.

[@krysnf]

Thank you so much. I just tried it with another method on my grandparent's tree and that was so difficult and dripping everywhere ; i'm not even sure I did it right. Your method is so much simpler, thank you for posting!

[@Reggae_SPYS]

Great tutorial with easy instructions on how to do an air-layering propagation or Marcotting of trees. You're a natural trainer who makes it look easy and I think a TV show would suit your personality perfectly. The love of flora is evident in your explanations so keep up these kind of videos for all of us to enjoy. You're a bloody champion thank you! I'm gonna give this a go!

Thankyou sooooo much!!!! I will be trying this method soon. Already tried Grafting successfully many times. I buy from Daleys on Australian ebay many times. Plants are Great Value for money. And Packed in the mail superby, and arrive in a few days. Good Karma to the crew at Daleys.

[@michellem7942]

This was the best and easiest tutorial on air layering. It got me motivated to clone my huisache tree. Thank you!

[@halhurst4105]

Terrific showing of techniques that require only the most basic materials. I feel confidant that I can do the same with one of my trees. But remember with grafted fruit trees you will not have the same root stock and this may require another step of grafting to get something like the original. Or you could perform this technique on a sucker from below the graft and then graft it once you have a healthy root system established.

[@wildchookMaryP]

Wow, this is the best air-layering I've seen. Its simple and doable by someone like me....yay!

Thanks Julie we will pass on your very kind words to Kath & Dave.

[@sandravought6656]

Thank you for a great video. We are doing this now with some heirloom apple trees that are over 60 years old. So far we have four new trees started and they are already blossoming. The first marcott is only 3 ft tall and it's loaded with blossoms. I can't wait to see some apples on it later on this summer. Now I'm starting it with a pear tree.

[@halhurst4105]

Not a professional, but it seems likely that with this technique on a "grafted" tree you will be reproducing the fruiting part but may need to reproduce the root stock from a sucker below the graft, and then graft it with scion from the original tree once it's established. But the root stock ought to be a lot more vigorous than the sticks I have been getting, and grow up faster.

[@kamaumike6873]

Excellent technique and narration. I have to try this on some fruit trees.

[@andymckenzie8031]

Thanks for this video! I don't have any Longan trees (they don't do so well in the northern USA), but I'm considering trying this on a quince tree that's in my yard. This is one of the clearest videos I've seen.

Thanks Don yeap if you subscribe and turn on our bell you should get notified. Just between me and you the next one will be multi grafts.

Keep an eye out in the next month.

Agreed! I’ve an American accent, and though there are dozens and dozens of regional and micro-regional accents, the most typical American accents are flat and harsh to the ear. The Australian accent IS calming, and is the default robovoice for my phone and for my best reader app, (which is Voice Dream, it reads all kinds of things to me; anything saved to it when driving or otherwise not able to read. I love my “Tyler the Australian” robot voice, he’s my best robot friend of all the robot friends I have;)... a UK basic and Deepa from India are my backups). It’s amazing how info can more easily be absorbed with the right voice, and she has a nice voice, and does a great job here, clear and concise:)
