Revolutionary New Way To Propagate Fruit Trees
An Alabama inventor Hong Park has come up with a new twist on the old technique of air layering. The new technique with the Air Propagator makes propagating fruit trees, shrubs and vines a faster and easier job. More Efficient especially dealing with camellia, pear, apple citrus and rose family.
Air layering is a method of reproducing plants by inducing roots to form on the plant stem without cutting off the stem from the parent plant. It’s an excellent way to replicate an existing plant with less disturbance of the parent plant. Air layering can produce larger plants which readily mature much faster than growing them from seeds or cuttings. This tennique would also work for japanese maples and ginkgo trees.
The process works like this: 1) Remove a ring of bark from the stem and enclose the exposed stem with a moist potting soil or peat moss, 2) Keep the stem moist until enough roots for transplant are formed, 3) Cut off and use your new plant.
Air layering with the Air Propagator clones trees, vines, and shrubs within 30 to 120 days while conventional methods can take as long as 2 to 3 years to bring them to maturity. This saves rooting time and helps nursery frowers have more plants to sell quicker.
The Air Propagator is a plastic ball that comes in two halves, which are filled with the rooting medium and placed around the branch and secured with self-locking features. As an option you can buy a unit with one half made of clear plastic, which allows you to see the root growth process without disassembling the unit. The unit comes in a small, medium, and large size and can be purchased individually or in a kit. The kit contains the Air Propagator shells, rooting medium, rooting hormone, zip ties and instructions.
As the owner of Brad’s Backyard Nursery in Ridgeville Corners, Ohio, I’ve successfully used the system. It’s super simple and easy to use, and it takes a lot of labor and time out of the propagating process. I’ve successfully used the idea on peach and pear trees as well as Goji vines. This summer I’m using the Air Propagator on 20 different varieties of fruit and nut trees in my mini orchard.
