Propagation
of Fruit
Bearing Trees
Prepared by: Rizza M. De Mesa
Teacher I
Propagation of Fruit Bearing
Trees by Air-Layering
AIR-LAYERING is one method of
propagating a fruit tree from an existing
one, which will bear fruits sooner, and the
fruits will taste same as the mother-
plant.
Most of the Citrus trees can be
propagated by air-layering. I have
successfully air-layered the sweet lemon
tree at our home garden and here are the
step-by-step instructions on how to do
air-layering.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– The following tools and
materials are required to do
air-layering
1. A sharp knife
2. Thick cotton thread
3. Clean plastic sheet
4. Hack saw blade (or) a
Pruning shears
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– Select a branch of about one
year old and half an inch thick.
The branch should be healthy
and free from any pest attacks.
The best time to do air-
layering is when the plant
starts growing new leaves
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
–Make two clean cuts
around the branch
about one inch apart
with a sharp knife.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
Peel off the bark between those two cuts.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– Make a ball of soil
mixed with tree moss or
soil mixed with sand
and wood ash around
the area where the bark
has been peeled off.
Here I have used soil
mixed with sand and
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
–Wrap the
soil using a
plastic sheet
of right size.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– Tie the ends tightly with
cotton thread, so that
no water or air can
enter.
– Now you have to wait
for about eight to ten
weeks, some times
more, before rooting
takes place.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
–After about ten
weeks time, my air-
layered sweet lemon
tree branch has
grown roots. You can
see the white roots
through the plastic
sheet.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
–Remove the
plastic sheet.
Now you can
see the roots
clearly.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– Cut the branch just below
the rooted portion with
pruning shears or with a
hack saw blade without
damaging the root ball. I
have used a hack saw blade
as the wood was very hard
to be cut with pruning
shears.
Propagation of Fruit Bearing Trees by Air-Layering
– Planted the rooted
branch in a pot. You can
plant it in the ground
also if space is available.
I got a new sweet lemon
tree which will start
bearing fruits about an
year from now.

Propagation of Fruit Bearing
Trees by Whip Grafting
Grafting is one of the oldest
methods of plant propagation
and is standard practice today for
various types of fruit trees. Whip
grafting is an easy technique for
the beginner, and has yielded
good results for me with apples,
apricots, plums and cherries.

–There are several other grafting techniques –
bud grafting
cleft grafting
bark grafting

Editor's Notes

  1. Most of us want to plant and grow fruit trees at our home garden or in an orchard for their tasty fruits. There are many ways a fruit tree can be propagated - from seeds, from a nursery-bought seedling or by means of Air-layering. The problem with growing fruit trees from seeds is that it may take very long to bear fruits - some times more than ten years - and there is no guarantee that the fruits will taste same as the one from which you got the seeds.
