grafting season starts here around the end of April

grafting season starts here around the end of April, still trying to decide the best method to tie my grafts. I like the idea of using the budding tape and leaving a tail to quickly label the graft, then come back later with a tag. The natural raffia has some appeal, and when I cut it off it can just go on the ground and biodegrade. Parafilm worked well last season, it’s slower than painting the grafts but not much and it’s easier to carry around, and it also just biodegrades. #grafting
