Re: [nafex] uh....my grafts...

Cut the blossom's stems ASAP with a new sharp razor the sharpest little scissors you have. As soon as the petals fall the stems get tougher.

The buds might not grow much this year, but should next year.

tfb,
I have had that happen a lot of times. I try not to collect scionwood that
have fruit buds on them but if it does it will bloom and then produce the
vegetative growth. It just takes energy to do that but as soon as the
flowers or fruit forms you can pinch or cut it off. Just be careful that
you don't pull hard enough and pull the bud off or damage it. The Jonagold
apple is notorious for that.

Gang,
So I have a new one. For whatever reason, this year, a number of the buds
on my grafts produced flowers. Since I did a lot of single bud grafting am I
out of luck or can they produce vegetative growth? remmeber I am concerned
about the single bud ones.

Sign me a rather puzzled rabbit.
