Rabelais Posted December 2, 2012 So I was running out of peres earlier in the year and wanted to do some grafting. I had some very small trichs which I thought I would try to graft to as an experiment. Seems to have worked out well! This is a new graft but is basically what I did to the below pics about 9 months ago. A little bit smaller. These are the 9 month old grafts using both trich and loph seedlings as stock. The stock continued to fatten up over time. Grown in Tassie mind you, so I am very happy with their growth rate My biggest and favorite loph. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallubrious Posted December 2, 2012 Nice work ! Do you secure the grafts with anything ? & you mentioned you used Lophs as stock, do you have any pics of them ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) I think it was a wording mistake SallyD Rebalias: The rootstock is well... called the rootstock, the bit u graft onto i is called the scion. Or commonly refered to as "The Graft" Edited December 2, 2012 by naja naja 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flumsquid Posted December 2, 2012 Loph seedlings as stock... Really? Love that you used trich seedings as stock and it seems to have worked great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabelais Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Emm, yeah..sorry for my poor wording. Trich seedlings as root stock, loph seedlings as the graft. Edit: Trichs are peruvianus btw. Edited December 2, 2012 by Rabelais Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoOnThen Posted December 3, 2012 This really cool as it is something I have been thinking about doing as well. I have had some success with grafting young seedlings onto pach pups but I still find I have more survive if I put a little bit of weight on them to hold them initially. Please keep us updated on how they go Cheers Got Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
