mystical oyster Posted September 2, 2014 So i needed cash bad, so i grafted a pach crest and put it on ebay immediately with the high hopes it would take. Today it sold, so i checked my graft. And it dont look good, but it isnt falling off either, it seems to be somewhat taken, but the edge lifted and left a little gap, and when you hold it to the light, there is an air pocket under it. Is there a chance it has taken. Or nah, do it again? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mystical oyster Posted September 2, 2014 Blah dumb question! Pretty certain it failed, but thats ok, the buyer will take it ungrafted. And i will compensate the inconvenience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

watertrade Posted September 2, 2014 I saw this one on eBay. Some down ward pressure for about a week and a few weeks of 'gently gently' and it sound have been ok. I guess the new owner will grow it on its own roots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted September 2, 2014 Hi Oyster, dont think it will take as is. Buyer will need to root or regraft. My Advice is to never sell a fresh cut as there are too many things that can happen. Ebay has become very cunty with their Sellers these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nailthesnail Posted September 2, 2014 also, don't you have to cut the ribs diagonally for that sort of graft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) You don´t necessarily have to but it increases Success Rates tremendously! It helps to avoid having your Graft being pushed from the stock by new Pups and works as a water drainage. Edited September 2, 2014 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_T Posted September 3, 2014 also as the scion dries, i can create uneven surface, so taking the sides helps this some even cut the stock weeks before hand, and let it dry, and shrivel, then do a 2nd fresh cut when ready to graft (as said by Trout at EGA) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
