Thats a great question. I did include the air root in the planted but not sure if it helped.. because no new roots formed off the air root. Maybe it did help keep the cutting hydrated. Thank you for asking and thank you for watching
Thank you for asking. The benefit to removing the graft is that the tree will look more natural over time. No horticultural benefit tho. Grafts create trunk markings where the connection is made, and are always usually visible. This tree had two grafts, and both were and eye sore.
It is not necessary or beneficial for the health of the tree. It is an aesthetic choice .. do you like the top of your tree? There are no guarantees the tree will survive a pruning/cutting operation. For me, i didnt like the top, so i carefully cut it off. I cut both off slowly over time; First cut video -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3dS25Z8lMy8.html
