I have put hormone power on the end and shove into the ground to the last 
bud. I hold off till later in the month. after leaf fall I sometime put a 
very light cover of leaves don't want enough to make mold. The best place if 
you have a wood chip pile that has turned color that is a better place. I 
have a lot of starts I will be giving away in the wood chip pile from last 
fall and late fall. lot of ornamental.

***********************************************************
I have scion wood left over from spring grafting I never got
to use as intended.  (My year hasn't gone much as planned.)
Last I checked it was still in good condition.  (This is
mainly apple wood.) Should I:

Do a normal whip&tongue graft. My concern here is if it takes,
the new growth would be killed by frosts (avg. killing frost:
October 15th)

Use buds from it to do T or Chip budding.  My question here is
how successful is budding using spring scion wood (plus I
wouldn't be forcing growth 'until next spring).  Is there a
difference in success in this between T or chip budding (I'm
leaning toward the ease of T-budding.

Throw the stuff away and try to replace the stuff next spring?

Thanks for your replies.
