Hi, today is Saturday, the 20th of September here in Fruit wise Heritage Apples and this is a follow up to a couple of videos I showed about grafting. This is a partial success. These have not grown away fantastically well but they have grown a way. If you recall you can check on the two videos I put up. I did the rind grafting here and cleft grafting.
The leaves look a little bit lanky honestly. They have grown as I have done this but in nutritional deficiency and a bit from apple scab maybe of a mildew. These are lot of diseases usually flakes apples. I’ve been asked to put up some videos about spraying. I will have to consider what I will do on that. It is a problem because some of the regulation considering they are on controversy.
But anyhow, here’s a cleft graft. I would go over the details of the cleft graft as I consider on it, so I took it right away. The rind graft in the middle of the tree and all trees have lived. It doesn’t make a little growth but they have lived because they are not bound in here. They’re definitely lived so you can see in this one with some leaves.
This will grow very strongly next year God-willing. This was a sort of rind graft done about inside and out lifting top up and just bringing the shoot in on the two branches up, one didn’t.
There are a lot of leaves there. Again, this one, double cleft graft and one died and fell out. This one is just worth measuring. So, it’s not a fantastic success there and in interest of truth and reality I put this up. It’s grown or rather it’s taken but it has not grown very well. It should grow away very well in the spring of 2009 which I very much hope to be and I’ll show you what it becomes then.
