Dan,

It may depend on where you live, but in south coastal BC (usually cool damp
Falls
and wet winters), we leave the tapes on about six weeks. They should not be
left
on over the winter or the bud may rot.

We cut back above the bud in late February. We don't see any growth until next
May.

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.
