Do you guys notice any issues with the buddy tape not being strong enough to really pull the grafts together tight? I got mine a week or so ago. So far I have been using it to wrap the actual scion but sticking with my normal nescofilm to pull the grafts together. Maybe the buddy tape would work better for veneer grafts, but for the clefts that I am mainly doing right now it seems to break too easily.

Lets wait to see what Adam comes back with. I am of the opinion that non-perforated tape will result in a lot of waste.

Are all others willing to switch to non-perforated OR perforated?

We still need total of 16 rolls to make it happen folks. Like I said before, this is probably last time I might do it for this year, I am getting very busy to facilitate this.

try twisting the buddy tape so its like a thin wire...as demonstrated in my "mango inverted t bud attempt"

this will make for a tighter wrap, and tape that won't snap!

good luck

It depends on what is the stock size of cleft. I have found it to work perfectly on Mangoes clefts and sone Cherimoya clefts, and apricot/plum/peach/pear clefts. The goal is to have the root stock that is thin, if root stock is thick, the healing process of union will push the joint and try to expand thereby tearing the buddy tape or even parafilm, On clefts that are stubborn, I first tightly tie the union with Green nursery tape, then wrap with Buddy tape, on weaker scions, buddy tape is all I use.

I might drop out here. This will leave you with 8 people who can decide what kind of buddy tape the group should get

OK?

ZZZZ
