Current UCR budwood prices ?

(1/2) > >>

jbclem:
When I've ordered previously, the UCR (CCPP) budwood prices were $0.75 per bud.  And although it is still listed as this on one website, when I try to place an order, on their revamped order form site, the price is $1.50 per bud.  Which makes it too high for me given my low percentage of takes when bud grafting.
 
Could someone confirm this new price level?  I've tried emailing them twice but no one is answering.

Oolie:
I cannot confirm the price, but I know how you feel on the buds. Some of mine were pushing, then the plant rejected them. On others, I thought they failed, but they are just now starting to push, when other UCR buds flushed ages ago.

I hope you can continue practicing grafting throughout the year and your success increases. I found that by pruning trouble (crossing) branches, and budding them elsewhere on the tree, I got some good practice in that led to more takes this year.

And sometimes the tree culls a graft, part of the experience.

jbclem:
That's what I was thinking of doing.  I wonder if I can take a bud directly off a branch without cutting the branch off.  Would this harm the branch or will it eventually callous over and heal. 

Laaz:
It will heal over time.
