Yes, Raintree. Great prices, 5 for $18.
Thanks.

Robert, just got my quince bareroot order online. I will experiment with loquat grafted on these so I can have some dwf trees of my favorite ones. Thanks for the suggestion on quince.




Hi
That Raintree deal looks like a great option - and for anybody that gets shut out there, One Green World offers the same pricing right now. My question for you - and/or Robert - fruiting vs. flowering Quince - would it matter for our purposes here? I ask because I have a few thicker scions that might be a better match to, say, a 5g potted specimen, and it seems that many local nurseries stay regularly stocked with the ornamental cultivars - but less so for the fruiting.

Thanks for any input.

Cheers, Chris

I would think that it should work grafting onto flowering quince but the only time I have tried it was years ago I grafted a fruiting variety from Edgar Valdeva onto a flowering quince and it stayed alive for about 3-years then died. I would say if you could get them cheap enough it might be worth a try.

Hmm - any theories about the failure of that one? Did it ever produce for you at all, or was it still too small for that?

No it never got old enough to fruit! So I don't know if it was incapability with rootstock or what?

Hello all, an verbal update on my grafts.
There are no dead or shriveled grafts by now,there are no off colored ones which would be an indicator of a problem of some sorts.
Not a single one has awakened by now as far as I know, thought on the ones that are not tip growths ,the remaining parts of the petioles I had cut have yellowed and separated grom the grafted part.
I think this is a good singh that the graft sucked back the energy from a useless part ....
Anyone could tell me when should I expect any movement to them, I guess any day soon.....

Update, nothing !! Still not a single one of the grafts have started pushing, they are all green however, no casualties as of now ....
The seedlings that I topped have started to branch out nicely, the growth is still insubstantial.

Update, one fail till now ,the others are still green and I unwrapped their top buds since 5-6 of them began growing.
I am now wondering if I should slowly star introducing the ones that have started to grow to more light. Now they are in the shade with no direct sun.

I put my trees under about 30% shade cloth then after they push new growth I slowly acclimate them the full sun slowly, first days about half full sun for 4hrs then within a week to full sun. ;)
