Lucky,LOL!
Is it merely a matter of coincidence? Now that viral etiology may be
the culprit, no one is willing to use the list anymore.
Seriouly, I have a question about persimmon grafts. I whip graftedRichard,
some high chill kaki material from Lester Davis in late April, on
wandering native rootstock. Weeks later, it still had not pushed
buds, then I read of your almost daily rounds of pushing off persimmon
rootstock buds. Now I have two multibranched grafts that have grown
up to three feet. Have you ever had current year whip grafts break
from succulent growth above? If so, should I support the graft union
with a bamboo stake splint?
Second, I put MonArk and Kidd's Orange on two seedling apple whips.Again, I'd opt for staking, unless the vertical growth is to a point where you'd want to prune it to encourage lateral branching, but even then, it might be better, at this time of year, to wait until next spring to do any heading cuts.
The Monark has grown so well it has now fallen over. A deer kindly
pruned the KO back already. Should I stake or splint the gangly
MonArk, or cut it back to where it's vertical and force some
branching?
