 | Girdling: A ring of bark, about 20–35 mm long is cut from a young branchlet. The cambium is scraped. |
 | Wrapping: Wet moss/spaghnum, coconut fibre or other rooting material is wrapped around the girdle. Root setting hormones may be applied in the rooting medium. |
 | Isolation: A plastic bag is tied around the place. Possible additional wrapping with alufolie. The plant is left to form root for 1–4 weeks. |
 | Separation: The cover is removed when there is good root formation and the branchlet is cut off from the mother tree. |
 | Planting: The rooted shoot is planted in polyethylene pots with planting medium and left for further root formation until planting out. |
