I finally cut that air layered section of the curry tree out, to see if it had rooted - it was getting very large, and I was going to trim a bunch of it off again, and take it up to that Indian grocer I give it to, since I'm going up there to a dentist appt. tomorrow near there. It rooted some in about 4½ months - it took the kaffir lime 7 months, but the branch didn't get nearly as large. About the same amount of rooting though; I hope the roots support this many leaves.
Here is the Rooter Pot, first put on the branch in April. I kept the coir moist with water, occasionally adding some Clonex to it in the beginning, and a few times along the way.

And here it is in June, with new growth on the plant, before and after the pot was covered up:

Here's the tree that I cut that large section out of, in the center. You can see there is still a lot left there, and I have cut generous amounts of it recently.
