Detailed explanation-1: -The five basic types of layering are tip, simple, compound (serpentine), mound (stool), and air. For tip, simple, mound, and compound layering, part of the stem is buried to form the new roots and for air layering new roots form above the soil surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -The development of roots on a stem while the stem is still attached to the parent plant is called layering. A layer is the rooted stem following detachment (removal) from the parent plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ground layering or mound layering is the typical propagation technique for the popular Malling-Merton series of clonal apple root stocks, in which the original plants are set in the ground with the stem nearly horizontal, which forces side buds to grow upward.
