My stone fruit grafting has been either w/t or chip bud, alwasys quite mixed results, I keep wondering if the main problem isnt temperature. I remember seeing a list of temperatures needed for callusing - and stone fruits were at the highest needed temp, aples at the lowest, anyone have such a list?
Light frost possible this weekend and high in 50's. , I'm grafting stone fruits anyway though.
I have used a combo chip / whip + tongue I am liking more and more. I prepare a piece of scionwood like I would for w/t, including tongue, but instead of making a matching end cut on the rootstock, I skive it onto the side of a branch or main stem. My thoery is that it is a thicker piece of scion and has more staying power that way......such as now when it has to wait till ? to see 80F.
