I chip grafted apples last week.  What are NAFEXer's recommendations for length of time to leave the budding tape on?  Assuming the tape is removed at the recommended time and that the buds  pass the fingernail nick test, should they show growth this year or not till next spring?  Thanks.

A slight fingernail nick should still show green underneath.

I am trying to determine if my bud grafts have taken or not, and I am hoping for some clarification. As I understand it, if the petiole abcises then the graft has taken. Does this mean that the entire petiole falls of rather neatly from the bud? And if they are still hanging onto each other that the graft is no good?
