Changed the subject of the post, I think this one is more befitting.Behelgarden,I think they will take if they are swelling! Don't fiddle with them! I always mess them up this way.Best of luck. Keep me in the loop
If you cut off the rootstock shoot too soon would the rootstock base restrict nutrients to the scion because the scion doesn't have a strong enough connection to give the hormonal signal that there's still something alive up there? I make up a lot of theories to explain things.

Have you grafted anything this small before?Smaller u say?Well..technically the cuts are larger, but the scion may be less massive...here's a tiny patch graft I did on a M.jaboticaba, where I slapped on some Red jabo budwood. It's taken nicely, and even shed the bark somewhat, leaving a cool pattern!

Thanks for kind words!I hope to keep them coming...I've been grafting up a storm...and starting to unlock some strange puzzles.In the next 2-5yrs, the world of Myrciaria / Plinia will be forever changed (maybe it already has been altered). Soon you will have access to over 10 species and cultivars to choose from, some grafted, some seed grown...but all jaboticaba!I will keep you posted!
