Hey do I leave these in the white tubes that Joe shipped them in? They are sort of an elongated bullet shape. Like something used for aerial reforestation bombs.

Scot, plant them up right away. Usually there are directions as for the dose of fert. I use 1 1/2 tsp per gal for potted or young plants & 1 Tbls for large plants about once a month starting now thru Sept.

Chironex · 04-10-2009, 02:52 PM

Take them out of the bullet things?

Patty in Wisc · 04-10-2009, 02:56 PM

yeah esp if they are plastic. Or, if they are made of peat put whole thing in soil.
Or maybe ask Joe.

Exactly. Plenty of it in the micronutrient package.

The package might be cheaper, but in terms of dollars per net pounds of nutrients I'm not sure if you are saving money.

Definitely re-pot them and allow plenty of space for root development. Just use the Kelloggs Patio Mix soil available at your local box store. You can pick up a 5-lb bag of 28-8-18 fertilizer when you stop by with Pauly to get the AgriStarts plants later this Spring.

Will do, thanks Richard!

Monday I grafted 2 sticks of Honeycrisp & 1 of Fiesta onto my already 5 in 1 apple tree. Hope they take (fingers crossed). I have a winter banana apple yet to graft this weekend and if they all take we'll have a 8 in 1 apple tree!

Patty in Wisc · 05-19-2009, 07:49 PM

My 2 Honey Crisp apple grafts are starting to show a green bud!
The Big Jim graft is leafing out on the loquat - still waiting on the McBeth.
3 haas avo grafts did not take - they turned black

4 other avo grafts are still green but no buds yet.
Waiting on 2 more apple grafts to take & then I'll have a 8 in one apple tree!

Caloosamusa · 05-27-2009, 09:19 AM

Today I grafted a Lancitilla mango. The root stock I used is an Heirloom cultivar from Pine Island (Lee County) called a Peach Mango. Time will tell if it "takes." Good growing and grafting to all!!

Patty in Wisc · 06-03-2009, 09:36 PM

3 weeks ago, I noticed that the branch I grafted a Winter Banana apple scion to was turning brown & it wouldn't grow leaves. I don't know why ...last yr it had a ton of blossoms on. Last wkend it turned completey brown & dead so I unwrapped the graft & re cut the budstick which is still green. I grafted it to another branch & hope it takes. Grafted it 4 weeks ago but w/ our cold temps I think it just stayed dormant.

harveyc · 02-06-2010, 07:15 PM

Today I grafted 'Marion' and 'Flavia' acca/feijoa (pineapple guava) onto a potted plant I picked up a couple of days ago. I plan to graft about 4-5 more onto the plant and will keep it in my greenhouse until spring. Earlier in the week I experimented and made some grafts of various selections onto root segments dug up from some seedling bushes in my yard.

sunfish · 02-07-2010, 01:37 PM

Asian pear onto my 4in1 pear.

sbl · 02-07-2010, 03:55 PM

I did it last week, but grafted some peaches and pears. I have a friend that had a large pear tree being taken over by a non-bearing rootstock, so I took my trimmings and put some on his tree as well.

I'd be grafting soon scions that I got from scion exchange fair in San Jose on Jan 9 2010.

sunfish · 02-07-2010, 04:11 PM

As if I don't already have to many plants to take care of now I can't stop grafting and starting seeds

I'm glad this thread came up cuz that Winter Banana apple DID take & it grew about 7 inches before it went dormant.

Winter Banana apples are an heirloom variety - interesting flavors with an old-fashioned sort of beauty.

Sure sounds good.
