I want to graft Annona Muricata Cuban Fibreless on to Annona Glabra.
From the pictures bellow my Annona’s M C F have flushed new leaves. The question is: Do I strip the leaves of the donating plant, if so, do I wait “X” number of days before cutting the budwood to wrap with parafilm and graft. My rootstocks are healthy and strong. Some have told me to leave some leaves on the scion and used a bag. I hate the bag but would do it if is an absolute necessity.
If this is not the suggested way what are my options? I did graft various Annona’s last week of February with 10 takes out 11. Budwood was dormant. But is getting hot and budwood is not dormant.
As always, your opinion is very much appreciated and valued.
