[nafex] grafting prunus and pears

["dwalsh/wchase" <wchase@interchange.ubc.ca>]

Del,

The books all say to bud Prunus (apricots, peaches, cherries, plums) in the summer
when the temps are higher.  This is especially true in the cooler northern areas
of N Am.

With pears you have to pay attention to compatibility if you're using quince
rootstock. Some varieties of pears are not compatible with quince and you must put
on an interstem between the quince and the pear of choice.

: Chris, interesting parrallel results, for me all whip and tongue:
:
:          yep/nope
: apples   32 / 1
: pears     5 / 20
: apricots  2 / 25+
: plum      3 / 25+

: What is it about apples? they make an amature look competent!
: The others that are so much more difficult, is it callusing? scion dormancy
: survival? temperature critical?   Mn. Del
