Is there a definitive time that grafting of apples can begin? Knowing
the earliest possible time might make it possible to cut a scion and
walk over to another tree and graft it on, all on the same day. I'm
hoping that there is a window of possibility for this, although
obviously a tree can't be both dormant and budding at the same time.
I've heard to wait until the bark "slips" but never really knew what
that meant. Waiting for the buds to swell is another possibility, but
bud swelling here often starts with just a few buds on a warm day and
then stops until the weather warms again. Also, when is it too late to
graft?
