If I were you, I wouldn't bother with Graham. Unless you have tried it already, you probably won't like the flavor. It also seems to drop a lot of its fruit before ripening.

I am planning to graft some OS, Guava, Seacrest, honey kiss, Ceci Love and M4. E4, son pari and phoenix are also a possibility.

I am currently grafting numerous citrus and apple scions. Apples are really easy to graft with a high take rate.

In spring will graft a number of Avocado and loquat scions.

In early summer will graft many mangos including Orange Sherbet, Orange Essence, Guava, Son Pari, Butter Cream, Cac, Seacrest and a newly released zill cultivar called Raw Honey.

I purchased the Mango trees from Florida and put them in my greenhouse where they continue to grow and flush even in the winter. From these, I will use the scions to graft onto existing mango rootstock (Manila & Ataulfo) already in the ground and well established.

After I am done grafting with the Florida Turpentine trees I will sell them and just watch my newly grafted trees grow.

Raw Honey is not a Zill cultivar, it's a Zill nursery rename.

I'm attempting to graft a bunch of varieties onto a Santa Rosa plum: Flavor Supreme pluot, Flavor Delight aprium, Sweet Treat pluerry, Dapple Dandy pluot, Dapple Supreme pluot, Cot N Candy aprium, and Elephant Heart plum.

Apple: Fuji Red Sport Type 2 to a Geneva rootstock.

Avocados: Sharwil, Reed, Pinkerton, Jan Boyce, Sir Prize, and Holiday onto a bunch of seedlings.

Figs: Violette de Bourdaux, Sal's (Gene), and Nero 600 (which might be the same as VdB) onto a seedling.

Hopefully most stick. I also plan on grafting some varieties that actually taste like something onto my white pitayas but I don't know when the best time to graft dragon fruit is.

Where do you get your pluot scions?

Have an eight+ years old Blue Byrd semi dwarf Plum tree blooming each spring. We have a Gage plum also nearby but unfortunately not blooming at the same time. Thinking of grafting buds or scions of Stanley and 2 others compatibles on to the Blue Byrd tree. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've read that Graham tastes great, and produces really well in Florida.

Be very careful and mindful of what you sow, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Couple people on the forum hooked me up. Oolie for one. But I was late this year and they didn't take. Will try again next year and look for scions around February I guess.

Flavor King is amazing, but Flavor Grenade is equally good. Both are on my "most wanted stonefruit" list after tasting at the farmers market. DappleJack is also on that list.

Dappledandy also amazing.  Emerald drop is good too.  I think Ive got the flavor grenade but will have to double check on that one.  I got a 4 in 1 tree from dave wilson and also a plum tree I top worked with dappledandy and flavor king and pluerries.

I planted a Flavor King and Flavor Grenade both a couple months ago.  Nothing this spring, but I can't wait to try them next year.

It is definitely my opinion on taste, although others seem to agree it's not the best tasting mango around. Mine does not produce very well and that could be my own cultivation practices. So it's getting top-worked to different, more interesting varieties. Honeykiss is on top of the list.

Yes. Dappledandy is also on my list. I'm trying to get some more grafting practice so I can make a couple muli-graft trees for myself to save a bit on space.

Stone fruits are the easiest thing ever to graft.  I probably did 30 this year with 100% success.  Many were sloppy rushed grafts too.  Just tie it super tight and leave it for several months.  Do it in January.  I dont even use grafting tape on many of them, just wrap the union with tree tape or flagging tape.

This year I have grafted:

Vista white loquat onto a neighbor's big (and horrendous tasting) loquat seedling
Argelino loquat onto my seedling, not sure if it's a take (also tried to graft an amazing local tree onto it but it failed)

Zill's pitanga onto my seedlings and other trees, looks like zero success on this one

Suebelle, Lemon Gold, and nettie white sapote onto seedlings - all successful

Many branches of each Suebelle, Super Sweet, Lemon Gold, Nettie, Cuccio, Pike, Walton, Lammertz, Santa Cruz white sapote as veneer grafts onto this big white sapote I have - all successful!

Getting much better takes now after all the white sapote grafting practice.

loquat: big jim, white (not sure which variety), Avri, Sunset, Vista White and pelube onto my unknown variety seedling (6 y old)

citrus: Shiranui, Kishu, Bearss onto my other citrus trees.

cherry: on to wild hardy plum trees. they are my good inexpensive practice material. I am new to grafting.
