I just had a dissapointing experience this evening. I have been waiting to perform a bark graft on my persimmon root stock. I dutifully checked some top growth to make sure that the bark 'slipped'. It did. I then proceeded to cut off the top growth and prepared the scion. I cut the bark on the rootstock (about 1/2" caliper). It did not slip.
Does this mean that rootstock readiness moves form shoot to root and is not simultaneous?
