I have a variegated redbud sport about 10 feet from the ground and want to try to make it into a tree. I would only have one shot at getting it to root. The limb is new this year and is very slender. There are only 4 leaves and they are all green with white splotch/streaks in center or from center to edge. I read your experiment and could possibly do the 2nd type of layering. Since the stem is only about 1/8 of an inch would it be better to wait until next year? Any help you could give would be appreciated.
