They have been on the tree for 4 weeks now and I don’t see them growing through the film, they are still green though. I’m not sure if the film I used is the kind that allows the scion shoots to grow through it.

It’s my understanding that they are not compatible. Scions can remain green for awhile but won’t mesh and grow. But this said if does, keep us informed!

The new branch is about a foot below the grafting. Do I need to graft it again? Thank you!
