Recommended Posts

hey all

so on sunday i decided to do a loph seedling to peres graft test

i only did the one single graft and to my surprise it seems to have has taken without a problem :)

it was a little brown and stressed looking before i grafted it and over yesterday and today it has gone from

its brown colour to a much greener healthier looking colour and is actually showing some signs of growth

so im pretty happy and ready to graft a whole bunch more very soon :)

id say it was about 2-3 weeks old when grafted

you can open the lid and pic a few out it should be fine

you wont need to do them all just cos you opened the lid

just pic as many as you wanna graft out and close it back up and the rest will be fine

Has anyone here tried grafting to non rooted pere? it's so vigorous I'm thinking of trying rooted vs non rooted to see hoe it goes

Yes you can graft to cuttings, it works well with almost any combination of scion or stock. I have found it is less successful with seedlings.
