Everything is slow here this year. I would leave them alone till 6 weeks
after graft. Stone fruits are very touchy grafting because the buds get soft
if in the fridge too long. I have had best luck grafting shortly after
getting the scions. Not a easy task unless your cutting from your own or
local trees. Also something somehow gets into the graft and gums up the
connection.

Thanks for the info, Gordon. Do you notice an difference in leafing out
time between apple and stone fruits? I have pretty good success, but my
stone fruit grafts haven't shown any activity yet, and I'm suspecting
they are failures.
