Lychee air layering this time of year

[bradflorida]

I have read online that air layering tends to be done in the spring. 

Has anyone had luck air layering lychee at this time of year?

I’m in Southern California but I like to air layer at this time of the year. The roots seem to form faster at this time of year compared to early spring.

A nursery near me SWFL is doing many Lychee air layers. They do this on trees which have failed to set fruit as a way to make something off the tree in an "Off year". Not sure how it would affect ensuing year production but they are large and need pruning anyway.

Now is a great time to layer lychees.

I am trying to airlayer a Alano sapodilla and longan.
I have seen youtube videos and saw the amount of roots to expect.
My question is how deep do you bury the roots in the pot?
Do you bury at the surface or go down 6 inches? It seems like
if the branch is too deep it could cause issues? If you bury at the
surface you should stake?

Thanks

Top most roots should be just a hair beneath the surface.
