Size is important. Pencil size or larger. Yes, smaller wood can also callous,
but again why use smaller wood that reduces the chances of success
percentage? Jerry Lehman 

I have occasionaly been faced with no choice but tiny scion wood, a cherry plum for instance. Your interesting comment on callusing from top down makes me wonder 'if the dessication problem in tiny scionwood could be solved by dipping a 6" scion in hot parrifin? or wet rag? or?' then maybe one could gain more stored energy by extra long length? . I have yet to solve how to graft with 1/16" scionwood well. A lovely 0'F this am. Del
