My grafting this May looks good so far, except for a couple which were from scionwood of apparently 2-year-old growth. I have a nice flower cluster on one brand-new graft, and nice flower buds on another.

I know I should carefully remove these flowers. Any suggestions on best technique, some way which won't disturb the new graft-union? And timing-- is it better to remove flowers ASAP, or do I give the graft a week or 2 or 3 to mend further?
