Hi,

I cut the "V" channel into to rootsock, and slipped a pointed scion into
the groove.

If you look at the "V", the union on the right side of the "V" is fine,
but the left side union has broken away.

I think it has been too long to do anything now anyway. Damage is already
done. But scion is still green and growing.

Regards,
Tom
