happybrother:. Exactly what Happybrother said. You could try making your rooting medium receptacle (the Nylon sack) bigger. Also, leave it for a longer period than specified here. You could leave it for more than 3 months. Also make your rooting medium richer by adding organic manure like cow or chicken dung. |

irukandji89: . I found this pic on the net. Air layering done on pomegranate. This is cool. So, whenever I see this wonderful plant, I will only need to buy few seedlings. Thanks for the update. Abeg, if you know where I can buy the plant, let me oooooooooo! |

anienge001: have u ever come across the plant in Nigeria? Or the fruit. i guess it will be in the north, since it has a local hausa name. if you are able to, you could go to the north to find it. |

Do you know of any citrus specie that can be harvested 2years after planting ? |
Re: Marcotting/Air Layering: Turn A Plant Into A Plantation by irukandji89(m): 8:46am On Sep 05, 2014 |
aguiyi: Do you know of any citrus specie that can be harvested 2years after planting ?. I think the closest one is lemon which is 3 years. It matures after 5 years. It all comes down to how much care you give them. Weeding, fertilizer application, training of ∂ branches to grow upwards etc. This is based on my own experience though. |

aguiyi: Do you know of any citrus specie that can be harvested 2years after planting ? Marcotted lemon trees start bearing fruits in a little over a year. This is possible with good care. |

More proof that this method actually works, and is faster than budding (for citrus plants). This is my air-layered lemon plant. Its a little over 1 year (a year and a month). It is about 1.5m high. It is already bearing fruits. Attached picture of the young plant in my farm with another showing the fruit. 1 Like

irukandji89: Hi. Thank you so much for this post! God bless your heart! Can this be combined with grafting? If not, what are the practical pros and cons of both practices? In your experience, which trumps the other? As you also stated here, my farm is in Ogun state and I will delighted to get your telephone number for further talks. Thank you so very much! |

irukandji89: I am interested in the teak. Do you have any pictures and how well do they perform through this process? |
Re: Marcotting/Air Layering: Turn A Plant Into A Plantation by irukandji89(m): 5:06pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
ikenga67: A pilot scheme/ test will be carried out in the next few days. Result will be in abt 8 to 12 weeks time. Pictures of progress will be uploaded. Kindly check often. Thanks. |
Re: Marcotting/Air Layering: Turn A Plant Into A Plantation by irukandji89(m): 5:15pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
Beedee777: Both methods are good, and both have arguably the same pros and cons. E.g transfer of xteristics to offsprings etc. Can't say which is better, it depends on choice. That is, what the person prefers. But if both methods are rated based on duration, marcotting beats grafting marginally because of shorter time. I personally prefer this method. Its so easy, a 7yr old can do it. |
