   If grafting outside wait until full buds, they need warm weather
for the grafts to take.  Usually easy to graft but I always have poor
long term survival .  I also bag them if grafting outside, with a bid
of wet paper towel in colored bag.

Subject:[nafex] Plum Grafting / Budding

 Greetings All -

 Last year I attempted to graft 6 Plum Rootstocks to 6 varieties of
plum; 0
 takes.

 This year the Rootstocks are doing well and I have a fresh batch of
scions.
 Does anyone have any *tricks* for successfully grafting Plum on an
 established seedling? Whip? Splice? Tight or loose binding? I plan to
bud
 as well as a safety net.

 I also have 3 bare Rootstocks. Tips for these would be appreciated as
well.

 Thanks All-

 -Pete
