Once cut from the tree the air layer is suddenly completely dependent on the roots it formed so like you said would keep them shaded for a bit. That said, if I put it in the ground I would just add a shade cloth and keep the ground moist.
Looking strong a couple weeks in. I will likely move it into an unheated garage over winter just for a little extra protection while the roots get established. Then potentially in the ground next spring. Which variety are you air layering?
I use clonex when setting up air layers. Here's a video I made of how I set them up: ua-cam.com/video/wvd3mSi6kIU/v-deo.html Which variety are you attempting to air layer?
Good vid. Pretty small container for that size of plant. hHanks for the vid.
Any reason to not go directly into the ground or does this increase survivability by being able to keep partly shaded for awhile?

Looks great, amazing size too! I have been trying propagate slightly longer air layers as well. Let us know how it transplanted.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong but air layering is not working for me. Do you use some sort of rooting agent? Thanks and by the way love your videos.
