Tanis, makes perfect sense to me - but I have tended to avoid it because an
expert told me to! Something about bud auxins preventing callusing, he said
to cut off both tip and base of scion., Said fellow has grafted a lot of
trees, I wonder where the idea comes from, Del
Just for fun, try grafting with a terminal bud scion. (Terminal bud plus
as much twig as you can get w/o other buds.) If it takes, it will grow at
150% of the regular growth rate.
