Hi,

I did bud grafting couple of weeks ago and winter has set in. It was a bit
difficult to uplift the bark but I did manage. I will leave it for a month
as during the winter nothing is going to happen.

Also, I want to do layering. Shall I do it now and leave it for the winter
months?

I see no real reason why you shouldn't. I have certainly layered plants in
winter with success. Many plants that are layered take at least a year to
form their own roots, so they'll be layered during next winter, if not this.

Most places recommend bud grafting in summer, not that I've done it - I've
stuck to scion wood grafting in early spring. It'll be interesting to know
how you get on.

Hi,

I like Jim thought you Chip Bud and “T” bud in the Summer. From what
I can understand this is the time when the bark is “slipping” and easy
to expose the cambium layer this is especially helpful when “T”
budding.

Again I thought you Winter graft your scion wood in Winter, late
February or there about’s.

Check these sites out, it may be of use.

Hello Rajinder,

How are the vine cuttings that I gave you doing?
