bench grafting apples last spring

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

bench grafting apples last spring, the conventional and a few root grafts. I so look forward to doing it again this year, I didn’t count but there were at least a few hundred and I’ll do more this year. So far I’ve preferred parafilm and then a rubber on top. maybe I don’t need both, but parafilm quickly holds a whip and tongue together and keeps it clean and dry inside, and the rubber feel like it holds everything tight.
