Cassie air layer

Post by Pup »

This Casuarina was given to me by a friend :!: It has a few problems so I thought to try to solve some by air layering a new root system? Nebari.

As the inverse taper and a bit of trunk damage were part of its problems, so we start at the bottom and go from there.

For those that want it here is the process.
