I have good luck with the omega cut. Saw this on utube last year and bought a 3 in one grafting tool that can make this cut. Works best on 5/16 to 3/8 diameter stock. I wrap with rubber band strips for good contact and use parafilm to cover graft and keep moisture in. Are you doing it this year ? Getting late here. I have other methods I am trying. What are you grafting to. Small trees or top working older trees ? The biggest issue for success is good contact and moisture . Plus a active growth period. I can try a video showing a couple methods I like. I have to get someone to run the camera . Perhaps I can persuade my wife.Would love some input . . really, I am desperate for input.
I have access to a scionwoon supply about an hour north of me for a small fee for each. Can anyone suggest a reliable method of grafting that is pretty foolproof, and perhaps a utube vidoe of the method as I am a visual learner. What little research I did a year ago, the result vary, on average a 50% sucessrate. Would like to get that rate up considerably.
Also I wonder if the rootstock used affects the success rate?
My other issue is with over 150+ varieties of apple scionwood, the selecting of just a few is daunting. I can find descriptions of the fruit, but there is soooo much more to an apple tree liek disease resistance, size, vigor, use of the apples, keeping qualities. Suggestions on finding this info?
Thanks.
