You mean the new growth broke off from the original scionwood, so that the 
graft is back to "day one"?  Darn.  I don't know what to predict.  Can you 
wait and see what happens, and tell the list?

I had a year-old graft with 2 short stems which grew last year.  Somehow the 
deer managed to pull one thru the fence, and trimmed it for me. (Of course 
this was an apple cultivar I've had trouble grafting!)  But so far the 
remaining stem has grown well.

I was grafting apple tree stock today and I accidently knocked off the
stem of another graft that I had grafted back in April. The bud stem was
about 2" long and the year old stock had been cut off just above the
graft. It was the only stem on the stock. What's the chance of this
graft forgiving this clumsy oaf and regrowing?

Thanks much,

Bruce
