[IBC] Grafting Maples
Apparently 'Arakawa' buds back readily on younger wood, but not once the
thick bark starts to develop. Mine is in between. I am thinking of thread grafting that one and my American red maple. Has anyone had experience thread grafting maples? I thread grafted my crabapple very successfully, but not other species.

HI
I have done 2 years ago on a deshojo excellent result even if I started in november The best moment is right now if you have long spindly useful branches ... if you have not ,leave one grow very ling all the active season until the winther and do thread grafting in spring .. If you start now in 2005, after you have done ( you need to know how to doit exactly) leave the outgoing branch grow one whole year , it will grow 3 times thicker than the back part ..do not allow any bud open on the old part 2006 leave the branch grow as she wish until september and just trim very little after fall.. 2007 next spring ( 2 years later after you started ) cut the back part shaved to the runk and seal the entrance with sealing wax it takes 2 springs to work next autumn I can cat the btranch short leaving 4 buds and will start forming into a branch the following spring 2008 wrote: Apparently 'Arakawa' buds back readily on younger wood, but not once the thick bark starts to develop.
