Hello Ginda,
 
You are on the edge of the time frame for sure. 
 
There isn't time for the bud to break this year, but possibly the chip will 
 heal in and remain dormant. Next spring check the cambium on the budded  
bud. If it is green cut off the tree just above the bud to force it. 
 
Try it, what do you have to loose?  

Jerry

I live  in eastern ma. We just had our first frost. And I was thinking I 
would like to  chip bud my  ashmeads kernel, which is in the shade, into my 
golden  russet, which might possibly get enough sun to set fruit some day.

Is  it too late in the season to do  that?
