Interesting way to graft. I don't know if certain species do better using this method or not, but I suspect that to be the case.

I really enjoy all the grafting stuff you guys post. Someday I will give it a try.

Thanks Stu. I'd never seen tgat type of graft mentioned before. I wonder why that way isn't mentioned much? It's like a cleft except you're cutting into the side and not doing the initial heading cut until a few weeks later. Lots of surface area to make the graft union take.

I had heard of it before, but mainly for pines/spruces. I started looking around for info on the procedure after seeing a FB post from Jim Walla, the guy who is propagating Trader mulberries. He is doing most all of his grafting in fall rather than spring, and he's using a variation of a side veneer graft that he developed while working at NDSU. He didn't go into details about his variation of the graft however. |

I believe so, but not sure edit...I asked him if he hardened off the grafts in a greenhouse, this was his response. "No, I don't have a greenhouse, so I improvise. If the temps are moderate (not too warm or cool), I leave them outside in shade. If the highs will be above about 70 or the lows below about 35, I place them in my garage under lights (a greenhouse without glass). Last year, the temps were often too warm or too cool, so I kept many of them under lights until about two weeks before storing them for winter. This year, so far, its looking like they can stay outside. The critical time is the one week after grafting. If they can get through that period under good conditions, graft formation the rest of the fall improves and strengthens." |
