In my experience, by then the graft union is strong enough to support the growing top. I've waited longer, but by the time the growth is 2 feet, the tape seems to constrict. With less vigorous species, I might remove sooner if it looks like the graft took but just not growing yet - persimmons and ginkgo.<br /><br />If you mean the tree that you bought still has grafting tape on it, I imagine you can remove it now. I doubt they would sell a tree that didn't already have a firm graft union.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-9999000630066129152017-04-07T05:46:40.831-07:002017-04-07T05:46:40.831-07:00Question: When does one remove the tape where the ...Question: When does one remove the tape where the grafting occurred?
