cupressu macrocarpa air layer? was created by Lee Beckett

Posted 8 years 8 months ago #17135
Hello, has anyone air layered a cupressus macrocarpa before? i just wanted to know if the thickness would be an issue, the branch i have my eye on is around 40mm thick, would a thinner branch be more successful in rooting?
thanks for any advice.

I haven't layered one of these but don't see why branch thickness should be an issue
