I have used rootstock that have broken dormancy many times and it makes no difference. I always use the whip and tongue method and after the graft is done I put a layer of Parafilm M over the top covering the graft and the whole scion. My % has been very good with using the Parafilm M over the top.

Subject: [NAFEX] grafting with rootstock breaking dormancy

As I have only 1 year grafting experience, I have a question regarding using
rootstock that has broken dormancy - does it have much effect on the success
of the grafts that the rootstocks are no longer dormant, provided the
scionwood is still well dormant?

Would chip grafting prove better than whip and toungue in this case, or
would either work about equally?

We have plum (prunus americana) and cherry rootstock (krymsk-5) that has
just started to break, as well as a few OHF 333 pear rootstocks we dug quite
awhile ago. We still have plenty of pear and apple rootstocks that are
still dormant, however. And there are plum, cherry, and pear scions
expected shortly . . .

Thanks,
Anton in W.Wisc (zone 4a)
