Default Re: What did you graft today ?

Me too. It is only 50 % take. That's why I don't do T budding anymore. Besides to me it takes longer for the bud to grow whereas on grafting, .... once it took you have 2 to 3 buds growing all at once. I have T budding that stays green all year long without growing.
I am trying to experiment to graft the whole twig this time instead of 2 to 3 buds in a scion. I grafted the whole twig. We'll know what happens come spring time.
My problem with my grafting sometimes because they grow too fast the healing process was not complete so that if you bump the twig the whole thing pulls off from the contact point. But after a year or so they are as permanent as new.
