Is it too late to air layer a Meyer lemon?

18 years ago

I had plans to set up some air layers on my plant earlier this fall but forgot about it. Is it too late in the year to start air layers? Will they actually root during the winter of will I be better off to just wait until the spring to put them in place? I have set them up succesfully as late as September but never in December.

Many Thanks!

GA, where are you located? Perhaps if you're in z8+ you can get by grafting now.
I've never grafted anything, but have seen posts where ppl tried grafted in NOv and the project was unsuccessful. But some ppl lived in cold climates which may have had something to do with it. Perhaps someone else who grafts plants can help. Toni

It has been a long time since I have updated here in regards to my air layered Meyer lemons. They are doing great. Had a rough summer, they were neglected BIG TIME, never watered for 3+ weeks due to an asbestos issue at our house and being forced to leave until everything was contained and cleaned. They were in very rough shape but bounced back quickly. My question, I have been giving them 1 tsp per gal of FP at every watering (every two days). I've noticed a lot of my new growth seems to be hanging down more then growing up. Could the amount of FP have something to do with this?
