Ended up making a quick video about scoring to create limbs. This is a homestead crab on B118 it started out about 8 feet tall & and some decent limbs but odd spacing.

Hey BV.
I grafted two Winter Lane crabs and they both have a lot of small branches similar to your pic.

Good job Buck. Take pics of your fingers also. I had 2 successful cuts and no successful grafts so far. I grafted on 3/9/17

Aero - What's up with your grafts ?? You usually don't have problems. I've seen pix of your grafts before.
Cuts ?? Do you still have 5 on each hand ?? Not down a pint, are you ?? LOL !!

 

[buckvelvet]

Well here is the complete list of what i bench grafted.

I have prolly another 2 weeks to wait for my field grafting to start, have some other varieties for that.

Also im 99% sure it was someone here that sent the sundance/bramleys together, please let me know, i missed that record!

Good news, buckvelvet was not harmed in the making of those 40 trees. :)

I got done a little after 10 pm, only 1 cut and it was just a glance off thankfully barely drew a red line. I had to take a break for a short while my 9 year old daughter crashed her bike and fractured her thumb during my grafting process.

The only damage i did to myself....

No bandaids required, its more like a papercut with those opinel 6s...

Only one waking so far and I grafted on 3/9. 2 cuts and all roots have awakened all 25 in a 5 gallon bucket in my bedroom. Will take a pic tomorrow. Thanks for asking lol

BV I guess you are using my scions for field grafting since I don't see the ones I sent you in the bench grafting list
