Thank you both, gentlemen, for your helpful advice! I've heard anecdotally that grafting plums is possible (and one of the guys at the BYFG grafting meeting told me "ALL my plum grafts took last year! I just did normal grafts!" without providing any helpful details).Pete,
I grafted three last night (splice) on actively growing 1 YO in-ground rootstock with dime-size leaves. Most of the leaves were high up the leader, so they ended up getting cut off. I'm assuming (hoping) the roots will just continue pushing into the scion now if my grafts are any good. I wrapped tightly but not excessively with a budding rubber, then parafilm, including a single-wrap covering of the lowest scion bud to keep it from drying out (2 buds on each scion). Tree-cote to seal the exposed scion cut.
