This is Mauro Gibo, the insisted banana grower. I have done air layering on citrus fruits before, many times. To get fruits the next year depends of the growth of the roots of the tree. The conditions of the soil and the type of fertilizer is very important. I never let the tree bear fruits until it is strong enough. You don't want a junior high school girl to bear children, do you? It is a sin! When the tree bear fruits too early, I pick them and throw them away when they're still small so they won't tire the plant. I've done this kind of propagation with all sorts of trees, no problem at all. The only fruit tree you can't, because it is not a tree, is the banana plant. Good luck to you. Bye, Mauro.
