Grafting Persimmons

JoppaRich
9 years ago

I bought a couple of bareroot persimmons this spring. They all got planted out, and basically did nothing. I went out to check on one of them, and there are suckers coming from below the graft line - I nicked the scion and it doesn't look like there's any green in the cambium at this point - so maybe a goner.

Anyways, the nursery told me they were on "Native american persimmon" which I assume is D. Virginiana. If I don't see any life in the next couple of weeks, I'd like to graft an asian variety back onto the suckers.Any suggestions on when? What method of grafting, and how to get scions?
