Persimmon Grafting

Cleft graft on my persimmon tree.  It was supposed to be non-astringent fuyu but was not.  Only about one out of 5 cleft grafts took.

.

 

T-bud on my persimmon tree forcing. 

 I got better than 50% take on t-buds on persimmon.

What happened to the above when I didn't stake the graft.

It snapped off in high winds.  I could have also pruned it back.  The graft had nearly covered the whole limb diameter, but wasn't very strong apparently.

The graft was coming along nicely and had grown to nearly 4 feet in 10 weeks. Happily, I had t-budded several buds and had also done a bark inlay graft on the same tree.

Persimmon budwood.

I like the second one from the bottoms the best.

Hanging bud or upside down chip bud

  I left them wrapped for 6 weeks
