Lon, Since you have successfully grafted blueberries, can you answer these basic questions? 1. When do you cut scionwood? 2. When do you graft? 3. What form of graft do you use? -Mark Lee, Seattle, USDA cold zone 8a

In one of the older POMONAs there is an article from
(name escapes me) who studied Vaccinium arboreum, so called
"farkleberry" of the South. It was sufficiently tolerant of alkaline
soils that northern highbush blueberries could be grafted on the species and
they would survive and produce when they would die on their own roots. One old
timer apparently had a patch of such grafted berries that was 25 years old and
in good production. I have a piece of V. arboreum grafted on highbush
blueberries, and it's quite interesting. I had thought of crossing the two, but
the V. arboreum doesn't bloom until the highbush types have ripe fruit. |
