Genuine Buddy Tape for Grafting - 2nd Chance to Order! (Sold Out)

[FlyingFoxFruits]

I hate to disagree with my buddies, but Behl...I must say, timing is very important...but not of paramount importance.

The most critical factors in achieving a successful union between plants being spliced, include the following (in my opinion):

1 maintaining proper conditions for scion to stay alive (moist/green/viable)...this is where the debate comes into play!  For what I do, wrapping the scion in "genuine buddy tape", is the best way to achieve consistent and healthy conditions for your scions, pre-grafting (wrapping scions for shipping or transporting, after being harvested), and post grafting (the typical method employed, of wrapping the entire scion, and waiting for new growth to emerge).

2. cambium to cambium contact
3. cleanliness
4. compatibility of scion and rootstock
5. Health of scion and rootstock


If the timing of the graft is off, (at least near me in FL, with tropical fruits) you can still produce successful and viable grafted plants...they just take more time to become established...due to poor timing....

but if the opportunity to obtain scions is a rare occurrence, and the option to obtain "properly timed" budwood is not going to be feasible, then by all means, go ahead and graft what you have, when you have it...and make the conditions as conducive for success as you possibly can!

The grafts will still take!

But if you have perfectly timed scions, with unsanitary blades (infested with plant pathogens), and/or horrible cambium alignment when grafting....then I think you are setting yourself up for failure.


So I guess the moral of the story is, sometimes it's best to graft when you can, if you must!  Don't wait for what the book says, or even your friend with experience....give it a shot, and you may teach the plant something it didn't know!

Counted and Done!

Well that was quick folks! I have placed the order ahead of all selling out. Its exciting! We will now have more success graft storires hereon.

Remember, the most important thing in grafting successfully is Timing!
