Hello I have been doing some grafting for just a few years—tried
it with no luck at all many years ago, and finally took the class the Bob
Purvis offered a couple of years ago. I had pretty good luck the first
couple of years, although many didn’t make it through their first winter,
but last year nothing made it through the summer. I grafted about 20 trees on rootstock that I had ordered,
with scions both from friends, my own trees, and some from folks on this
list. They all had good growth at first, and the new growth was 9 inches
to 18 inches, with most around a foot. About half of them were put in the
ground at that point, and half were left in the gallon sized pots that I
started them in. By mid-June, every one of them had died completely.
The ones in pots were on the north side of the house so were in shade during
mid-day. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks Jim Erdman, in Menomonie, WI |
