I went to a workshop in Southern Virgina last year and they gave us 5 dormant
rootstock, and we got to choose 5 dormant scions.
They had us use those grafting tools from Lee Valley. They were easy to use,
but they even said they don't take as well as using a knife. We used the goo
that you put around your toilet when you put in a new toilet, on the grafts,
and the top of the scion. Then we wrapped up the graft. I took them home and
potted them(as they told us to do) and let them grow on a window sill in my
patio up in Zone 5 NY. I think this was in April.
I only had 2 out of 5 take. Mind you, it was my first time grafting.
Even worse, one of the ones that took got caught in a shrub that my mother
put down next to my potted tree and i didn't notice. I planted the
rootstock for the winter and I think I will try to re-graft this year with a
new cut.
