This is on the lighter side - Happy holidays (whatever you celebrate)
SO is there a grafters anonymous?
I belong there.
The event that made this clear to me happened yesterday.
I had grafted some mango late (last days or October and some took and some did not.
Some of the ones that did not take off turned brown and have been discarded.
A couple remained green and I continue to hold out hope.
One however was green after 3 weeks plus but the root stock it was on was dying.
So I took it off, cut the scion smaller and grafted it onto another branch.
I know its almost December, has no hope of pushing having likely used all the energy in the wood but I couldn't help it. I had to try Zill's "bark graft" I had read about int he past week or so and couldn't wait till spring.
So I know I need help and since I am sure many on this forum do too I am safe saying
I am Orkine, and I am a grafterholic
Enjoy this holiday season.
