My grafts are all very slow this year, It is do to the cool weather. They 
take longer in cooler weather. I have had plenty of moisture all spring, but 
not over abundent. The grafts are taking twice or more as long with this 
weather.
 I am still grafting dorment scion wood. It looks like we may get back into 
70's and low 80's by week end. It has been in the 50's and 60's for a couple 
weeks.

I have noticed the same thing.
I think some graft compatibility issue is at work.
This particular mating is not meant to work.
I notice that even if you wait and let them alone, they never seem to
grow particularly well.
In taking them apart and studying the graft area it looks like they do
not callus very well.
It amy be like different blood types in humans.
More study is needed in this area to be more definitive.
