Grafting

Since I have so many pots, grafting seems to be an obvious way out. BUT… did I time it right? Stay tuned!

I need to learn this. My trees grow vigorously in Louisiana and I`d like to add some Celeste branches to my much larger Brown Turkey to see what happens. I need to get some LSU Purple and Olympian trees but I`m running out of room because my emergency solar panels will need open space not only for frequent storms but greatly reduced costs of summer air conditioning, cooking and winter heating. Or I`d have 8 more trees right now.

Good job! I'm hoping to take up grafting figs, too. Mine will all be potted as i'm in 7b and most years in ground figs die back to the ground.

@@bosquebear1 good luck! With as many as I have this just made the most sense.

[@yochanontheseeker1942]

What style of grafting did you do your persimmons with?

[@Loftinart]

@@yochanontheseeker1942 same as the figs and apple. Cleft or modified cleft.

[@BlizzardBurrr]

Can you graft now?

[@Loftinart]

@@BlizzardBurrr where i am, I’d be concerned with the grafts dying in the heat or in the winter due to them not being solidly established. Just depends on where you are.
