Re: [nafex] Grafting pawpaw- any experience to share?

Betsy,

I have used whip/tongue and cleft with good success on pawpaw; have grafted over 200 pawpaw trees - have not tried chip budding on pawpaw.
In spite of literature to the contrary, I dig root sprouts and pot them in either November or late March for grafting or transplanting - have also field-grafted root sprouts and then transplanted them the following Fall.
I always wrap the scion with Parafilm just prior to grafting - raises success for both pawpaw and persimmon.
I graft pawpaws the first week of April.
