" I always use buds from the current years growth.  Yes, the buds are 
dormant but they developed this spring and summer.  I always use the 
petiole (or leaf stem) as a handle to put the bud in place."

I don't quite understand this. If you are using "this summer's" buds, 
they can't be dormant this time of year, right? Or am I just dense.
