Idon'tstudydinosaurs Posted October 28, 2013 Hey people, haven't been on the forum in a while due to some personal reasons but thought I would give an update on the grafts I did in winter. I'm glad to say all three worked! There are even two pups coming from the root graft I did. There is a bit of corky scab on two due to them getting too wet but everything is fine and they are enjoying this hot Perth weather . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted October 28, 2013 grafted bums do indeed work, just fine, it's mainly an asthetic problem more than anything else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idon'tstudydinosaurs Posted January 19, 2015 A well overdue update on my grafted lophs. Have been so busy the last 12 months with uni. and moving houses etc. Unfortunately the dog got hold of the root-tip graft I did; she also managed to damage the other two but I saved them just in time. From memory I did these grafts in April last year, should I be seeing more growth than this? I have read that it is possible to get a flowering specimen within twelve months. Anything I should try doing? repotting? The rootstock is pachanoi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gimli Posted January 19, 2015 Great thread. I amdoing some Scop x Pach, Bridgesii x Pach & Pach x Bridgesii seedlings to graft onto some Pere. I can't find any info on how much to cut off the bottom of the seedlings? Any tips would be good, thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idon'tstudydinosaurs Posted January 19, 2015 This advice is from limited experience with grafting. The smaller your scion the harder the graft due to the increased difficulty in matching the vascular cambium. From memory I just cut the scion where it meets the dirt. As long as your vascular bundles match between your rootstock and scion and you made cuts with sterilised equipment you will be fine. You can graft the root-tip also, a bit ugly but hey if it works.
