Comparison of use or not of Parafilm or buddy tape.

In Santa Rosa, rootstocks were grafted for a later plant sale for the
redwood California Rare fruit chapter.--probably over 50- maybe up to 80
plants. Not sure if the pots were 5 or 10 gallon ones.

 

"In general looking at the prunus grafts from our March  8 event, a general
observation.

 

The grafts that are looking great and doing quite well, seem to be all the
scions where the tips were covered with parafilm or buddy tape.

 

The grafts that didn't take or are quite slow were from scions where the
tips were not covered with parafilm/ buddy tape."
