Eric,
 
Just another perspective - I do all my stone fruit T budding the last half of July (usually start about July 20th) and all the pome fruits in August.  I do about 12 to 15 hundred every year with good results.  I find that the buds of the stone fruits tend to mature earlier than the buds of the pome fruits.  Of course the rootstocks have to be actively growing, well watered, etc.  Where they haven't worked so well has usually been do to the fact that the rootstock wasn't growing well or the buds weren't mature enough.

Ed, I caught your note about propagating plum using "green" buds. I have always budded my total inventory in August using mature buds ; my pear and apple take is great but prunus is poor. Are you saying that plum etc. should be budded earlier, perhaps July using buds that have not set? Thanks for any tips, Eric
