I've got a handful of B118 rootstocks I planted after grafting last year where for whatever reason the scion died but the rootstock is still going and I'd like to re-graft them this coming spring. I know I've read several of you guys mention regrafting but I can't find any recommendations for the best odds of success. Here's what I'm thinking so far -
- Cut planted rootstock just below failed graft
- Cleft graft dormant scionwood, or W&T if I'm feeling adventurous/it makes sense with diameters
- Wrap in parafilm since that's what I've got
- Treekote the end of the scion (usually use wax but buying some Treekote seems easier for use in the field)
- **Science and magic**
- Success
