Ethan,
When you specify "and the scion wrapped in parafilm", I am interested to know 
what that means?
Do you wrap just the graft union in parafilm, or do you wind parafilm around 
the entire scion?
Thanks,

Charlie Paradise
zone 5 / Massachusetts
lots of plums in bloom last two days, no pollinators of any size seen yet 
despite hot weather
