Hello,

Hope you are well. I’m looking for some advice on whether my scion grafts have failed and if I should attempt them again.

This was my first time grafting, and I suspect it hasn’t been successful. It’s been just under six weeks, and the scion buds haven’t swollen at all—only the rootstock is growing.

My rootstock was larger than the scions, and I performed the whip‑and‑tongue grafts poorly on seven attempts. None of them have shown any growth. I should have used a different grafting technique. It looks like the grafts tried to form a union, but they appear to have dried out? I checked one today and it doesn’t look promising.

Thanks for any advice.

My rootstock was larger than the scions, and I performed the whip‑and‑tongue grafts poorly on seven attempts. None of them have shown any growth. After I learnt, I should have used a different grafting technique, like clef or bark. It looks like the grafts tried to form a union, but they appear to have dried out? I checked one today and it doesn’t look promising.
