Thank You guys!
😁
Har helped teach me how to prep the scions "out in the field" & then I repeatedly watched Pete Kanaris's new Grafting video with Dr Campbell & finally got cleft grafting. Now I want to get veneers to take lol..
Simon, I took your advice & removed the old parafilm as it had holes throughout & I didn't want to take any chance of harming it with all the rain we had yesterday.. especially didn't want any issues at the graft point with water getting in, so I resealed with graft tape. See -
Sayyid, I absolutely know what you mean brotha!!! Been waiting to actually getting it down so I can graft disease resistant varieties out west at my parent's house where I'm able to plant trees freely. & Unfortunately the NDM, CCream, & the Cac scions I was giving by another forum member never took as I improperly prepped the scions & did not graft using the proper Knife for grafting. Oh well, I'm sure he'll see this post & hopefully he'll take some scions as a Thank You & be willing to trade more scions...
Dom, Thanks for your help! I had rewrapped at the grafting point just as a precaution to keep water out for now. So this very nice older lady was kind enough to give me a branch from her massive Glenn tree she has that I seen driving in North Palm Beach. This one that took is on my Venus Tree. The scions I tried to veneer on to my Carrie didn't survive. (Should've cleft to top work over to a multi variety tree but that time will come!)
