For starts, I'm totally new to grafting but have done a Lot of reading about it. Got inspired by Fernie's great stuff & pics of trees at Gilroy park in CA. Since this kind of grafting is done from Nov to March, figure this is the best time to start figuring stuff out. Still a Lot I dont know & would really appreciate any info I can get.
Read that grafting-cord is like flypaper & that Parafilm M is a lot better & easier. Is that what's used to tie the scion to the stock? Also, how many buds should the scion have? Also, read that tar paint should be put on the open end of the scion. Did searches but keep finding grafting wax & Doc Farwell's grafting seal. Will grafting seal work for that?
Would Really appreciate any info I can get
. Would like to experiment with this in November.
