the new growth is about 2 feet and more. I take it, then, by your
question that I would be grafting on this years' wood rather that the older

Brian------You may chip bud into either 2 year wood, or the current season's
growth. Derry mentioned one of THE most important characters required
for success. Or, they do have to be growing, or they can't be under
drought-weed-nutritional stress.
I've a better idea. I'm not that far south of you. If you are
keenly interested, drive down sometime and I'll be happy to show you the
technique we use.
