Back on May 18 I tried to air layer a branch off a Sugar Maple that is growing in my Grandma's yard. I took a branch about a foot long and I did the ring bark around it with the two rings a inche apart and peal off the bark and cambium. I wrapped it in spagnum and a sandwhich bag with twist ties and aluminum foil.

Well today I cut it off thinking it was ready and unwrapped it. Well its got some callus forming around the top gurdle nd it has little white bumps on the callus tissue. Will it looked like the tree tried to bridge the gab in the wound. The buds on the branch look like they're trying two swell like they're trying to push. So I just look off the leaves to presurve enegy and moisture and planted it in a small pot with regular potting soil. So can I still save this branch or it pretty much done for since I already cut it off the tree? Thanks.
