From what you wrote, could it be the grafts JUST BARELY took, enough to look
OK in mild weather, but not enough to thrive in the hotter temperatures ?

Hmmmâ¦well this years graft take were about the worst ever 51 out of 56
grafts : (
Two of the grafts I expected to fail did fail (bad looking buds), but the
other three perplexed me. All three were Hudson Golden Gems and all three
leafed out and held for a couple of months and then withered away under the
heat. I thought I had good takes, but then they just died. Does anyone
have any idea what caused this? I like to learn from my mistakes and turn
failures into learning experiences. They were located in a nursery bed
with the other grafts and received no different care. The leaves jsut sort
of curled up, withered and died. All three were lcoated in different areas
of the nursery bed. All the grafts were on M27.
Thanking you in advance for any consideration you give this matter,
