Mr. Larry needs to write a book with all his knowledge. Randall knows "Good" guy that writes and prints books.😉

[@FlomatonFamous]

I agree, Mr. Larry would have to slow down to write a book lol.

[@user-ic2ug8ys1z]

@@FlomatonFamous Good point. He is a grafting machine. I wish him all the best either way. Does Mr. Larry have any good book recommendations for growing southern fruit or grafting? I would love to know what you guys read to learn your craft.

[@FlomatonFamous]

I use: The Bench Grafter's Handbook: Principles & Practice. Mr. Larry uses: The Grafter's handbook

Super Video. Danke

Thanks!

[@DeanFamilyAcres]

Great info! Answered a question I had about when to remove the graft tape/electrical tape, etc. Plum seems to be the easiest out of everything we've tried thus far.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Glad it helped! I've had great luck with most all stone fruits.

[@roberthicks4794]

New sub here. What kind of root stock would you recommend for a total beginner?? Located in southern middle Tennessee..

[@FlomatonFamous]

Lots of variables go into deciding rootstock. Depending on if you have nematodes, or clay, or wet soil, or dry soil. ctl.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/plants/GENEVA-Apple-Rootstocks-Comparison-Chart.pdf

[@thechaosgardener]

Electrical tape falls off for me after about 6 months or so. I think the adhesive breaks down first

[@joshua511]

After grafting, where does he keep the trees? 1 gal, 3 gal pots? I assume you don' t want to heel them at this point.

[@FlomatonFamous]

In the greenhouse in the 5x10 pots

[@MrTimmy-vz3nt]

Can we add a southern apple sion to an antonovka ( very cold hardry) rootstock and have it survive in the tundra of the midwest.?

[@FlomatonFamous]

Yes, that’s the rootstock that Larry uses here in the hot south

[@kalwongkl]

Is there any requirement for the bud scion from a tree of a particular age? I've heard that scion wood from a fruit tree that flowered and fruited for a few years is preferred.

[@FlomatonFamous]

No requirement, it's the parent tree is already fruiting then the bud will be "mature" also.
