To whoever is responsible for this
excellent initiative, thank you for this most interesting article on chip
budding!
I practice this method in August
usually with newly formed buds for next year and it gives some good results on
prunus, as well as malus and pyrus. It had
heard of chip budding in the Spring but not in detail. This inspires me to try
some this Spring, as prunus is particularly difficult to do with
grafting.
I have a suggestion. Once, the chip is secure in
place with a grafting elastic, it should also be wrapped in a plastic of some
sort to maintain humidity for the first few days which are crucial for a good
take. My rate of success has increase since I do this extra step.
As good labelling is very important, we all
discover this sooner or later, I now use plastic shopping bags in different
colours to identify different varieties and take note of colours on paper. Next,
I only have to label the succesful budding. Saves a lot of time on labelling
while serving a necessary function of conserving moisture and protecting the
chip.
