Nick, you can graft when the scions are healthy. You can tell by looking for the green color, swollen buds and lack of wrinkly brown wood. If your cambium looks brown and has some wrinkles in it, don’t bother using it for grafting. I believe other members have already taken scions from their trees to graft onto alternative rootstocks.

Here’s a picture of my an hai roots. You can see the nodules caused by RKN? I took a sample and looked at them under a microscope and a dissecting scope but couldn’t find any.

How many times have you watered?
Just received the nematode control. Not sure how much to use for each gallon of water. How much do you guys use on your yangmei trees? Label says 8oz in 6gallon of water for mostly everything. Think thats safe for the new bare rooted trees? Thanks

I took a sample and looked at them under a microscope and a dissecting scope but couldn’t find any.That’s great news you don’t see any but you do have to worry about eggs and if you already planted into the soil, wether it be in a pot or in the ground, it would be nearly impossible to look under a scope and scan that large of a surface area to try to find these tiny worms. Inspection under a scope should be done when you initially received the bare root trees and even then, the RKN may be inside the roots. Best to prophylactically treat them. Your trees roots are definitely growing out nicely. With the warming of our weather, the Yangmei trees should see a growth spurt really soon. Simon

I did it as a bare root dip and then used a fresh batch for initial watering. My trees survived fine. Simon
Bill,On containing the RKN, are you saying it can be in the water and so no water can escape into the ground or it can get into the yard and roots of all my plants?Sounds like I will need to graft these branches and throw away the rootstock. This is a serious issue, don't need any RKN in my yard with all my other rare fruit trees.Kaz
Is RKN more of a tropical/subtropical issue? Or can they survive in places with hard freezes?
Here’s my best looking tree an hai. My black crystal new shoots died back probably cause of overwatering. Not sure if it’s going to regrow or die. As long as I have one tree so I can graft scions on then I’m happy. Though it would be nice if the male and at least 1 female made it. The male and the biqi are a little behind but are growing also.

Firstly, it is clearly in violation of section 3 of the North American Fruits and Foods act. Secondly, it looks like it may have some biological problems. As a duely sworn member of the Northy Carolina division of the National Yang Mei Inspection and Evaluation Bureau, I'm going to have to sieze that plant. Nothing personal. I'm just doing my job.

None of yours made it? You can be the first person in NC to fruit this - don’t give away your head start. I’m sure others are having success. Let’s see some pictures!
