So, I have 100’s of American persimmon trees growing on my property, many after a clear cut, some more mature in uncut sections. I have marked them all, and tubed many of them.
I have read yoders thread, watched every video made, practiced some, and bought all the supplies. Btw, I’m a ninja with a scalpel.
Also, bought lots of Scion wood on 5 varieties from Cliff England. Already in fridge, away from fruits and veggies.
Questions.
1. Plan to graft in April here In alabama. I know I know about bark slipping, but I don’t live at farm. My plan is to graft about bud break time, which is in April. Thoughts?
2. Many of my persimmon are suckers where a more mature tree was felled. Most have 4-5 growths about 4-6 feet tall. I tubed the dominant one. What do I do with the others? Was thinking of chip/bud grafting them and see what happens. What if three or 4 of the suckers live and thrive? Keep all of them? Cut down to just one at each spot? They are technically all the same tree (same roots) so let a few grow and train them in different directions?
Thanks!
