When I nick the bark, there is definitely green tissue underneath but no
bud growth yet. Some of the scion wood has definitely died on two of my
grafts. I will be patient with the ones with green tissue.
What about the growth on the rootstock? Leave on or pinch off?
Sorry for the basic questions!

"Slow" vs "no growth". Wish I could see them. If it has been a few
weeks
and not even a swelled bud on the scionwood, I'd be tempted to carefully
(or
choose an expendable graft) nick the bark and check to see if the inside
tissue is still alive. (Alive, more pale; dead, more brown.)
I always use splice grafts because they are simple, safe, and have given
great success rate.

Thanks for the advice. I am being very, very patient. I have done almost
a dozen split grafts this spring with apples. So far, no growth on the
grafted wood but the root stock keeps showing new growth. Should I
remove the new growth on the rootstock in an attempt to get the tree to
focus its energy on the grafted wood? Thanks.
