We've air layered peach trees and ohias that have survived, but our survival rate of the air layers is about one in four. I have an apple tree that was started from a root sucker and that is about five feet tall now. The air layered peach did much better since on it's second year from being air layered it fruited. We did use a fairly large branch to air layer and the apple root sucker was pretty small it was just about 4" tall to start with.
Mac nuts start from seed real easily but it takes years before you get more nuts. I think I may try air layering some of them, too, to get nuts quicker.
