I have scion wood left over from spring grafting I never got
to use as intended. (My year hasn't gone much as planned.)
Last I checked it was still in good condition. (This is
mainly apple wood.) Should I:
Do a normal whip&tongue graft. My concern here is if it takes,
the new growth would be killed by frosts (avg. killing frost:
October 15th)
Use buds from it to do T or Chip budding. My question here is
how successful is budding using spring scion wood (plus I
wouldn't be forcing growth 'until next spring). Is there a
difference in success in this between T or chip budding (I'm
leaning toward the ease of T-budding.
Throw the stuff away and try to replace the stuff next spring?
Thanks for your replies.
