Trimmed last year's growth on a sacrificial leader as buds were starting to push in early spring. Waited until new buds appeared a month later in early May. Then attempted an air layer further down on area with third year needles. Scored and slightly pealed short tabs on the top of the scraped cambium. Applied powder rooting hormone.
