Allen,
When I grafted Pawpaw in Illinois I had no trouble with grafts. Dormant
scion wood and the outdoor tree just breaking dormancy as others have said.

I can't remember where you live, but if it is at all dry I recommend
wrapping the graft and the whole scion in parafilm or budding tape. When I
moved to New Mexico and had really low take rates on things that I had high
take rates in Illinois until I started doing that. I haven't tried the
pawpaw here, but that is what I would do it had made a considerable
improvement in the rate of takes of more or less everything here.

Martha
