what species you've airlayered?

Never tried to air layer citrus,Ive done mango,starfruit,lychee,longan,macadamia nut and a couple others,I have some customers with some pretty cool citrus,guess when I get done air layering my own stuff this spring ,I will have to go on a citrus quest!wonder if that works with tangelos,I have 1 tangelo in ground that is awesome,my only citrus left that is in ground,will have to play around and see,anyone have decent luck in south fl air layering citrus??

I think propagating citrus by grafting and air layering without following a strict set of guidelines has been illegal for the past few years. Since you have a nursery, I wouldn't risk breaking the law over a citrus tree.

ya

citrus is easy to propagate via cuttings and airlayers...
but you're an outlaw if you do it without permission from the state.

seeds are ok though.

I've air layered guavas. They're so easy to air-layer, unbelievably easy. I'm still looking for that super productive, very large, seedless guava cultivar of my dreams.

Yeah. I've seen people use old clothing to stabilize the trunk to stakes and the trunk sent out roots into the rain-soaked clothing.

Hi Fang,
That's wicked I know they root like Loco, when they hit moisture.  Though, the wet cloth thing...is a first for me

Yup, it sucks. The law doesn't make much sense because greening and canker are here to stay and they readily spread without human assistance already so it shouldn't be illegal for us to propagate citrus. They may have some reasoning that I am unaware of though. Even homeowners aren't allowed to propagate for their own yard.

It's govt, if they made sense it wouldn't be govt.

Citrus is still restricted in FL?! I thought the authorities had given up. How could you do any more than what's already done?
For California they released a wasp that's supposed to target the psyllid. I've seen psyllids around but they weren't dead like in the photos.
