Benchgraft Timing?

Mike Hughes
10 years ago

I should have my rootstock in a week and will make my first grafting attempts. My question is when to plant out my benchgrafts? I really don't have any access to cold storage so, I was planning on planting them out as soon as I graft them. It sounds like some people like to allow benchgarfts to callus over before planting them. I don't understand if they are put into cold storage to allow the graft to take or to wait for ideal planting conditions. The weather is always unpredictable this time of year. Will fresh benchgrafts tolerate frost or even a hard freeze?
