Swiper Posted April 26, 2012 Great work Myco, for a first effort, you have inspired me to try grafting also. I hope I am as lucky as you and get two lophs for my effort also. One question, do you know when is the best time of year for grafting ? Would it still be ok to graft in Melbourne at the moment, or should I wait until spring/summer ? Cheers, Swiper.

myco Posted April 26, 2012 I would probably wait till spring now mate you might be ok now But I'd just wait myself just to be safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swiper Posted April 26, 2012 Ok thanks myco, I will wait impatiently till then ! Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applesnail Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) ive done some grafts the last couple of weeks in vic'o weather i keep em inside in the window and place ahumidity dome over them for week..they will stay indoors now thru winter whether i get much growth i presume not but as long as the graft takes they will be ready preparation for nice spring growth after winter this is my theory...ive had 100% success grafting this time of year in victoria swiper and im in slightly colder climate then melbourne as im coastal...so one can get away with it if impatient...cheers! I probably should add my house is heated tho cos i love my electricity power bill! Edited April 26, 2012 by applesnail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted April 26, 2012 Good to know applesnail I did my last couple of grafts about 2 weeks ago it's a little warmer over here in w.a. Though I am still grafting seedlings to Peres as they're kept in a more stable environment But I thought I probably should stop with the larger grafts now the last one I did doesn't look so good it took fine but growth is minimal to not at all so I figured to be safe I'd stop with the larger grafts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
