grafting season starts, all of our apples and pears are

grafting season starts, all of our apples and pears are bench grafted in march. a couple of weeks inside to callous then back to the root cellar until around the start of may. we're a small nursery and I do all the grafting so the limits are mostly what rootstock we grew and time, but maybe five hundred between apple, pear and plum this spring. I just do them in the evenings so on track for about fifty each day, it's fun and I look forward to it every year. field grafting is done later, that's when the real fun starts around end of april through mid may and I have about as many planned for working over old crabapple, pear and wild rootstocks to grow out new varieties and continuing compatibility trials
