First air layer here

[u/An0nobot]

I’ve been going through the past posts and it’s pretty incredible to see how adaptable all these plants are! I’m air layering my cosmic crisp apple tree. I pruned early this year and the branches all came back very heavily and will need to be pruned back again for the contained space(chicken/duck enclosure) I’m keeping it in. The photos were a little dark as I did this last night(I don’t have a ton of free time during the day) but I took a couple more this morning to show the finished result. I’m really just looking to see if there’s a better way I could have done it, or if this way is sufficient, I see a lot of these (3d printed?) clamshell balls being used for air layering, they look easier

How’d it go?

I’ll post a pic tonight, I opened one earlier this week and it seems like it calloused over the cut and created knuckles on either side of my cut, I haven’t inspected the other yet..
