Thanks everyone, I got the scions from Squam256, Skhan, Zands and Sleepdoc so big thanks to all of them for making it possible. I’m guessing most of these are about 1 year old because most of them have about 2-3 growth flushes on them and they aren’t branched yet.
The weather has been weird here with cool days followed by extremely hot days. We have a heatwave this week and my plants are in full sun so I’ll find out in a couple days which ones really took and which ones should have been left in my garage longer.
I do most of my grafts on potted trees in my garage so that I can control the intensity of the light and also to keep them warm at night. I forgot to mention I also have grafted J12, Lemon Zest, Castori, Cotton Candy and probably a few more I forgot.
I’ve been using clothes pins ever since I started grafting because I don’t like the rubber bands. The rubber bands get destroyed by the suns UV rays and cleft grafts can spread open.
I did a bunch of cleft grafts, side cleft grafts, veneers and a few bud grafts. Bud grafts are the only ones not pushing yet but they have been green over one month and look like they’re about to push.
Here’s a multigraft tree with Lemon Zest cleft graft on top and Sweet Tart side cleft graft below the Lemon Zest. I put the Lemon Zest on top because it’s blooms are susceptible to Powdery Mildew and in my yard, both LZ and ST get Powdery Mildew but ST will still set fruit with the PM where as the LZ usually doesn’t.
