| Hm. Good to know. I planted two sweet cherries on mahaleb in my heavy clay soil last year. Since mahaleb seemed to be a very popular rootstock, I didn't think much about it. Should I hill up the soil a little to bury the graft, to give the scion a chance to put down some of its own roots? One tree was grafted very low, so this would be easy, but the other one has the graft higher, so it would require a bit of landscaping to smooth out the soil. For what it's worth, the trees seemed to do great last year, and bloomed this year, which is earlier than I was expecting. Then again, maybe early blooming is part of a "live fast, die young" lifestyle. Melissa --- On Fri, 5/7/10, Kieran and/or Donna <holycow@frontiernet.net> wrote:
