Great Video, Awesome experiment on younger and older wood with results truly awesome. People need to recognize if you're into this like us they really need to understand that Ideas like this hit us all the time and the effort that went into this is a lot and should be appreciated. This was my next experiment and you really hit it there. Now I don't need to waste my time with the older wood.
Interesting. I have always had great success with older wood air layers. I’ve done a few on white oaks here but never with figs. I don’t know how long it should realistically take as this tree is quite large but after 2 months there was a ton of roots coming out of my bark scores. I almost wonder if that huge fruit load made it not want to root out
When is the best time to harvest airlayers? When dormant like in this video or earlier so they get a chance to fill out their new pot before they go dormant? Or it doesn’t matter?
A frenchman posted a video yesterday about his air layers (it's called marcottes in french ) .they are as thick as yours . He let them establish during a whole year and it worked great . The first one is a noire de barbentane, 2nd is a ronde de bordeau , the last one is a madeleine des 2 saisons .For this lastt one, he says that he put the air layer in March and remove it in november.(6 month ) Here the link (for what it worth ) ; ua-cam.com/video/CNDDIqrLtSo/v-deo.html
Sooooo glad you DIDN’T edit out the stack. I had a little chuckle. Some comic relief is always welcome! 😁

Older wood works. You need the full length of the season to accomplish it.
How well does that scarecrow work lol
All the unripening fruit should be thrown in a bucket with water and fermented. And fed back to the trees in the Spring.

Great video Ross! Next time small blocks between the pots.
IT's a big help.

When there's enough roots. Fully dormant is better.
interested to see if it fruits that heavy or at all next year. im thinking less fruit more bush shaped growth.
When is the best time of year in zone 7 to start an airlayer?
Here I start mine by August 1st. Earlier is better.
does that mean black madieras roots live in ground in zone 7a?
All of the roots of every variety does here. Cover the soil. It will insulate.
@@RossRaddi thanks for the response, but im guessing black madiera wont fruit on first year wood? or will it?
