Sir Jeans Posted December 29, 2012 When I first started grafting, I used to wonder what would happen at the point where the stock meets the scion. Would it develop a strong woody core? Or would it always be kinda weak and vulnerable to breaking? If you've ever wondered about it, this photo might interest you. After 18 months of growth, I had to remove a Trichocereus Scopulicola scion from the Pachanoi stock it was grafted to. I made the cut at the exact point where the two plants were originally grafted to each other. Even though it's a bit blurry, you can see that the graft was successful, and a strong woody core had developed. I doubt you would even know it was grafted if I hadn't just told you! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bowser Posted December 29, 2012 I agree... the strength of the core and union between tricho scion and tricho stock is incredible! That said, I always use caution with tricho scions grafted to peres stocks, as I've accidentally knocked off a t. bridgesii scion from a peres stock before. In this case the scion had a woody core, but the peres seemed weak in comparison at the union. Just my 2 cents 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
