Hi, I have several loquat seedlings from which I would like to graft on quince rootstocks that I just dug up today. When is the best time to graft, should the rootstock be actively growing or can I graft now when the trees have not waked up, the are starting to swell buds tho... what about the scion , I ques it should be totally dormant ??
I am applying some photos of the loquats I want to take cuttings from, the thing is they are small seedlings and I wonder if I should and can prune them to half their size and use the prunings for the grafting, will the remaining plants resprout and not die , I heard they do not take well pruning when young??
Finally ,what method works best, bark, cleft, other grafting method ?? I could use approach grafting bit this I thing would be tedious and if I will be cutting the little loquats would prefer to just head them and leave them to resprout faster ....
Thanks for your help !!!:-):-)
