    Propogating red dogwood

    Could be drought stress, could be not enough roots to support the shoots. IF you're caging them, you can use some burlap to shade them. I do that with my grafted apple trees sometimes. IF I recall right, I used 9-12 inch pieces and only had a bud or two exposed above ground. Much like...

    Clover plot help

    Constant clover is a constant battle. If mowed often, I woudn't do medium red, or much of it. LAdino is good for that. Clover alone, after 3 years its a real battle. The fall grains reduces some excess nitrogen weeds will use otherwise. When it seems there's a ton on nitrogen in the...

    Potted apple graft question

    Some might break off, keep as much as you can intact. Plant level, or go deep if you want it to be a full szied seedling. IF you can water them in their permaent home, put it in. Kentucky, I would probably wait mid august or so if you cant water. Northern NY I put them in pretty much...

    Potted apple graft question

    Its like a new node off of a lateral, or making of a new latteral........ I'd lean towards leaving it on in general. More so if the tree is in its permanent home. I feel year 1 is all about roots, then after that make your shape. Since it is in a pot right now, You could clean up the tree a...

    The great value in topworking

    I did 8-12 grafts on 2 trees. A pristine worked to trailman, and a droptine worked to kerr. IF one fails I got plenty of backups. And the next year or two, I have a bnch of maturing laterals. The grafted leader dies, you might be able to use a lateral for the leader. The tree might be...

    Potted apple graft question

    Im still new to this, but when i feel the young tree has recovered from grafting damage, id remove it. Some grafts look healthy proper sized leaves, but do not expand much. Id keep the sucker till seasons end. If you feel it needs it, keep it.

    The great value in topworking

    Grafted kerr on a droptine this spring. A few have fruit on them. Was afraid to pluck them and separate the graft union. A badly damaged tree will give all its got to survive. 7ft of growth may not be a good thing. Especially places where winters are bad.
