New to T bud ?

[BC Buck]

I will not be at farm right time to top work unproductive Kiefer pear and native persimmon mature trees using scion wood. Someone suggested T bud trees so watched U tube and looks interesting. Thinking T bud couple of center straight up branches this late spring. Next spring if bud starts growing top cut all existing branches above t bud and start with productive tested producer. Does it sound like a game plan.

Late Spring is fine for grafting. T-bud grafting is for late Summer, and you need bud wood.

Going to be a long wait for scion wood in the fridge. Might want to hydrate scion now. Put scion in a shallow cup of water for a few hours, 8 or so. Cut back end a bit if ends are sealed. Reseal end.

I have no scions and was told May to warm to ship to MO. Thats why thinking of try T bud.

Get the scions now, keep them refrigerated/on ice in a cooler until May, then graft.
T budding is generally done in August or September using actively growing, green buds
