My first attempts at Grafting
Comments (4)Hello I am touse free translator to write about it. Hello! I have been a garden for a year. I live in Zurk. I had two plant, one had a pocket, the other was a hand back of culpable variety. I called for assist, but the fax machine was not to be.The can with the bolts went off, so its ok I think were all an fpr an adventre hey!...See MoreMy first grafting attempt-it worked!
Comments (7)This is great, Denise! And what a lovely rose, too. I have at least two forts rooted and am getting ready to try. My big problem is deciding which lovely will be used first. It must be a fragrant one! So I await the late summer flushes so that I can decide. I root every fort rootstock sucker I get. FWIW, I read that Dr Manners said these should be snapped off rather then cut off. It seems that the bottom part of the cane (I cut them in pieces) roots better. I am finding it quite hard to root. I would say that my haphazard methods have resulted in less then 10% success. Also, I attended a rose lecture several years ago and the nurseryman said one of the reasons fort was not used more is that it roots commercially about 30% of the time as compared to multiflora's 85% success. I now know in his mind it was all about the body bags. :)...See MoreFirst try at cleft grafting we will see how it goes
Comments (16)I agree with Dave, it failed because a citrus graft must be wrapped always, entire length! not only the graft. Citrus are not apples, they never are completely dormant, since they are active, they need and lose water continuously. So, you must wrap the scion with a waterproof material (parafilm the best, or polyethylene strip, covered with a plastic bag, etc..) until the graft take and the scion can receive sap from the rootstock (10 to 15 days minimum, usually three weeks). In any case, you have not to be in a hurry to unwrap the scion.

Comments (8)Spacecoastfl, yes it was $10, I can't control myself that week. I went back 2 more times. Made some phone calls and HGC got rich after my phone calls....hehe. Yes, I got Honey Bee from Rinoa in 2014 and it still a tiny plant, but it has so many buds now. I wasn't talented, just practices made me better grafting person. I had some grafts lift up too, maybe the cut was not even? Marie...See MoreMarie Tran
