Lucky,

What do you mean by a 'coin purse' bud for nuts?

I tried budding and I tried whip and tongue when I wanted to put a corkscrew
hazelnut on  a hazelnut seeding.   Only one worked. I thought my timing was 
off
because there was a lot of sap flow (whip and tongue done in January).

Do you know another name for a 'coin purse' bud?    My reference books are 
mostly
about pome fruts and I don't have anything on propagating nuts.

When do you have the most success with nut grafting?

Thanks,

Derry

: My best success with the nuts has been a 'coin-purse' bud, wrapped with a
