Hello Ginda,

The suggestion of cutting wood from last years growth that is still dormant 
and grafting it will work, I've doe it more than once. As was written those 
are secondary buds nature places in reserve in case the outer blanch gets 
broken off which then breaks dormancy and develops a new branchlet. Because 
that bud is secondary it will take maybe three weeks to break after grafting. 
It can also be stored for a short period.  I'd guess that will work clear 
up into early July. 

You can also try writing into the closing document that they will save the 
tree one year and give you permission to cut scion wood next spring.  

Someone on this list might want scions also for themselves and to help 
preserve it for your grafting. Let them preserve it this summer on their 
tree. 
Come to think about it I have two understocks that can be grafted, send me 
some.

Jerry

I just noticed Baker Creek is offering seed for giant fruited Russian Olive 
(ala "King Red") and was thinking about buying some. Anyone grown these from 
seed, and if so, how true do they come to type? Do they taste good? Any idea 
on approximate flowering and ripening dates (southern VT warm zone 5)?

I've been poking around the various roadside stands of autumn olive 
(presumably "Cardinal" seedlings) and found one with fruits nearly double the 
size of the rest. I plan on propagating some this spring before someone 
decides they need to nuked, which could easily be any day now. If anyone is 
interested in some, I could probably send some you're way. I'd be interested 
to know if others here have made similar finds.

One final idea I thought I'd run by the Eleagnus enthusiasts among you, was 
the idea of doing some inter-specific crosses. I've looked around for info 
about this, wondering if it had been done or was possible, and turned up 
nada. The most practical way to proceed, I thought, would be to save some 
pollen (in a jar in the freezer) from goumi and use it to pollinate Autumn 
Olive. Anyone know if this has been attempted? Anyone been able to find info 
about breeding Eleagnus?
