[IBC] American Hornbeam---thread graft
hello everyone! ( and happy July 4th to Americans!)
I have a relatively small American Hornbeam that I wish to perform a thread graft on. (Less that an inch where I plan the thread graft.) My questions are as follows: Is this the best time to perform thread grafts on hornbeam? How long do hornbeams need for the branch to take? Would I still remove the leaves from the branch even though hornbeam doesnt take kindly to defoliation? I appreciate any and all responces!

Last time I tried a thread graft on C. caroliniana it took 3 years. Hornbeams are one of the thin-barked trees that often take forever for grafts to "take." Be CERTAIN that the contact between cambium layers is solid! I think it's probably a bit late. I'd start one in early spring, before leaves.
