Are you making sure that these trees are getting plenty of water to force
or keep the heavy growth sap flowing. I find that this time of the year I
have to use the double bag method to retain the scion moisture. Have you a
copy of it?

I also reset several whip grafts yesterday, some with the original scions if
they were still green and others with dormant scions from the fridge. I
shaved
off the old cuts to expose new green tissue again. This is a real easy time
to
mess up on labeling if you can't use the same variety. I caught myself
twice.
