I have a somewhat related question, about asian persimmon grafts. I have had
inconsistent results over the years and now I am thinking I am grafting too
early perhaps. I did the grafts this spring when the new shoots were maybe
1" long. On the bark grafts the bark was not slipping well yet which is one
reason why I am wondering if it was too early. What shoot length is best for
persimmon grafts? Some of my persimmon grafts did work, they were bark
grafts; all the wedge and cleft grafts failed. I am going to only do bark
grafts from now on on persimmons. All of my other grafts worked well this
year, it is only persimmons I am having problems with now.
