Prunus spinosa, Blackthorn Air layer

Post by KIRKY »

Looking for information from anyone who has successfully managed to air layer a Blackthorn. Information on thickness of air layer and time of year. Also technic that was used.

Cheers

I haven’t tried air layering, but I had success with cuttings from semi-hardwood taken just before bud swell
