Subject : RE: [NAFEX] apple grafting

I would like to graft an apple tree either this weekend or next.
What methods work at this time of year? Chip budding? Do I have to
wait until spring? How much/when should I cut back the stock? The
stock has been in the ground a little more than a year, now.

Ginda,
I'd do a T-bud placment - just my preference. Never have been able to get
the hang of chip-budding.

I did a few apples & crabs last week, and have been doing some redbuds(Alba &
Forest Pansy) this weekend.

Took a quick look at some of the 'whitebud' T-bud placements I did a week or
so back, and they look good, but I probably won't force them until next
spring.

Lucky
