What month would you air layer in western Washington?

I'm hoping to do a workshop around air layering. I've done it with mixed success in a couple different months. I'm thinking around May. Thoughts?

Yeah I think May would be a good time also.

I've been meaning to try more air layering but just haven't gotten around to doing it a lot yet. I did a little bit and it was very time consuming for me and I haven't given it another go yet.

I've tried some tip layering and that has been a lot easier and more successful for me so far since I can just grab a low branch, shave it a little, and put some dirt on it. I tried it with a pear last year, and hope to dig it up soon to check on it and hopefully transplant it.

The few times I've done it I found that it goes much more quickly with another person. It's much easier for tying off etc. Good luck with the pear tree! I tried tip layering a hazel once
