Grafting Update. 4.2.19

Quince Graft.  4.2.19


Pristine Apple Graft.  4.2.19
 Most of the grafts still appear to be viable and many are breaking dormancy.  It still amazes me that grafting works, but it seems it's just taking advantage of the natural healing capacity of trees, so when a graft is cut and assembled reasonably well, nature really does the work.

All of the quince grafts have broken dormancy, as have many of the apples, the Raja Asian pear, and some of the Kiwis.  I haven't checked the plums for a while.

The Pristine apple grafts were really tiny.  They were from a branch with graft failure, that was barely hanging on.  I'm surprised and pleased to see some growth.
