The grafts I unwrapped are 3 weeks old. Teflon tape is free and easy to handle. 5 out of 11 are green. The 5 failed grafts will be done a week from now after I see if the Fukushu to New Zealand lemonade grafts took. I grafted them 2 weeks ago. If they are good I will graft 4 more NZL's to Seville and one Valentine to Seville. If they all fail I will graft up 4 Valentine/Seville and grow 1 Seville to maturity by grafting top down on the same tree. I am too clumsy to tie off the Teflon tape so I us a small piece of masking tape to secure the tape's loose end.

I tried teflon once long ago. You can't get it as tight as Parafilm. Also you don't need to tie off Parafilm, it seals to itself.

I would have left those alone, they look good. Now hit them with a good fertilizer & water schedule & they will fu
lush out in no time.

Interesting experiment, probably no one tried this before  I want to try graft budwood from my selected poncirus seedlings into mature Satsuma and Kishu to speed up first flowering, not sure if it will works but somebody has to try it  |
