Fellow Nafexers,
    A few weeks ago I made my first attempt at bud grafting( tee grafts). I
grafted about half a dozen peaches and the same amount of cherries. I used
clear budding tape on most grafts and rubbers on some.In just a few days the
bark curled back on the grafts with the budding tape and split the tape
which exposed the grafts to the air. Some of them appear to have healed but
most dried out and died.  Can someone tell what I did wrong???
