I am still trying to get all this in my head straight.....If one stops the auxins from flowing south - won't it also cause the bud graft to leaf out - instead of waiting for the next year? Or is it rather a matter of distance (or number of rootstock buds) from the apical bud to the graft?
I don't know.
Typically, there are at least a half-dozen (or more) buds between where I place my budgraft and the terminal bud. I usually don't force the bud until the next year on nut trees, because I'm usually later than I'd intended to be getting 'em put on there.
I do have some pears that I budded back in early July that I've forced, and they've put on 6-10 inches of growth, but will probably have ample time to harden off before winter.
