Jujube mystery

10 years ago

It's time for jujube to to be leafing out here in Northern NM, so I was surprised to find that one of mine is missing it's bark! Yes, it is completely girdled near the ground! What is more amazing is that it is still alive... But I know that without any nutrition making it from leaves to roots that will not likely be the case for long.

above is the girdling and below is what the foliage looks like

so my question is whether I might be able to save this guy by air layering the entire trunk above the girdle? Can this be done with jujube? Anybody had this happen before and been successful at saving the tree somehow?
