Walnut scions were bench grafted to black walnut stock (juglans nigra) and each plant was individually packed into a closed plastic bag with wet peat moss worked around the roots. These bags were packed into the propagation box and the temperature set at 32 degrees C.<BR/><BR/>Two weeks later, 100% take. This was not a commercial set up, just a means of propagating a couple of dozen walnut trees to plant out on the farm in southern NSW. That was 25 years ago.<BR/><BR/>I may revive the idea again with finger limes. They are difficult (read expensive commercially) to propagate, with a relatively high failure rate compared to other citrus. <BR/><BR/>I hope this is of value to someone.<BR/><BR/>Chris Bourke<BR/>Tamborine Village.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-75741374793166926972007-06-26T14:34:00.000+10:002007-06-26T14:34:00.000+10:00Sure this is true but I have top worked a plum tre...Sure this is true but I have top worked a plum tree in my home orchard out in the paddock surrounded by curious wallabies. I changed it from a mariposa plum to a multigrafted gulf gold with one branch of gulf ruby to pollinate it. I am thinking of adding a branch of yarrahapinni this winter just to add a bit of colour.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912171134935854055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-71972807896946720522007-06-25T13:28:00.000+10:002007-06-25T13:28:00.000+10:00Hmmm, I think someone left out the secret ingredie...Hmmm, I think someone left out the secret ingredient in the recipe for grafting. Viz temperature and humidity and shelter for grafted plants . Probably a closed controlled environment would be used by a commercial grafter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
