They usually 'take' but it just usually takes a little longer. That just
happens when you get fruit buds on your scionwood. It is better if you
don't have fruit buds but it doesn't keep it from growing.

Subject: [NAFEX] apple graft issue
I recently grafted an apple scion onto a rootstock. After a long time the
two large buds on the
scion sprouted and I had four flowers growing, 2 on each bud. It may have
another one on each
coming up but I can't tell for sure. I ended up pinching off the flowers
and there are a few small
leaves growing. Is this going to 'take' or am I out of luck?
