Not so much with fruit that is dormant. It helps a lot with pecans.

How necessary do you find it to cover the entire scion with Parafilm in order to achieve success rather than just covering over the grafted portion?

I have also applied grafting tar to the parafilm to help keep in the moisture. This is my first year grafting in the field using a saddle graph method and I'm eagerly awaiting the results.

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)
