Field note

handful of bench grafted apples on seedling rootstocks

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

handful of bench grafted apples on seedling rootstocks. these are parafilm with a grafting rubber, I found this worked well. in the field I would usually tie the graft first, but with handling the wet roots and some smaller diameter material parafilm first seemed better to keep out water and dirt from the union. could have dipped the tops in wax but a small amount of parafilm on the tip was easy enough. By end of the day I had these down to about 90s ea, 30 in an hour includes all the prep #grafting #applegrafting
