Yes, per my experience, that's similar in terms of how to make the cuts and remove the bark. Great find! PS I heard back from the person I did the grave-and-coffin grafts for, and two more popped. The ones we are waiting on are still green. This was my first time ever using this technique after having failed a couple times with side veneer. Very grateful for this technique.

Agreed, Galatians522! I picked this one yesterday:



And noticed this one getting started:



I planted some seeds from a seeded watermelon I got from Walmart and just put a couple seedlings out. There's new growth on them, so we'll see how long they last.

Hi, Mike, are you selling the fruit or seeds?

Was fortunate enough to score mulberry scions from Kaz (sc4001992). Some of the grafts are already beginning to push, including Red Himalayan and this Black Pakistan:



As this is a new graft, I'm guessing I shouldn't let it hold these fruit? When should the fruit be removed? And when is it safe to let it hold fruit? Thanks!

Have a couple 1gal pots with multiple Bael seedlings in each.

Also have some Wampi seedlings.

$5 for a pot o' Bael
$2 a Wampi

Local pickup in Punta Gorda or Bonita Springs. I don't ship plants

Dang it, I don't know the exact depth. Just pressed in with my grafting knife till it felt "right", if that makes sense. I just referenced sapote's images when attempting this. If a video gets made, however, you should make it, owing to your excellence in video production!

Thank you, sapote, for this technique!

Finally getting a large crop off of one of my seedling Natal Plums. Seeds were from tradewinds years ago. Other, smaller bushes are starting to fruit, as well. Fruit is good, as described above (though I'm thinking more of a tart cherry as opposed to cranberry). No visible latex, but taste finishes with a slight astringency. If it didn't have that astringency, the fruit would obviously be so much better.

Thank you! Will update when we cut into it

Scions received, THANK YOU, Kaz!

Well, that didn't work.

Hmmmm . . .

I'm guessing drought then a lot of rain caused it to blow up like a balloon? Or did I leave it on too long?

It was full of air and the rind collapsed like a deflated kickball.

At least there's one more still on the vine.

Kaz, can the Australian Green and White Pakistan be grafted to Thai Dwarf and/or Dwarf Everbearing? Thanks!

As a huge herptile fan, I appreciate achetadomestica's advice to plant alternatives for them to eat. I've read that they'll eat papaya leaves and I'm guessing papayas too, but for all the iguanas I've seen at my girlfriend's place in Bonita Springs, they haven't done any damage to her papaya plants or fruits?
