Hi Guys

I have a couple of specimen Acers in my garden, one of which is approx 10 meters tall. Can anyone give some suggestions as to the best way to take cuttings please. They are also covered in seeds which could be another option.

Thanks in anticipation

Paul

    At ten metres high I doubt there will be any branches low enough to air layer. Seeds would be the way to go.

    Guys, the branches are easily accessible which is the good news..... the bad news is what is "air- layering"???  image

    Thanks

    Thanks again
