AK,

Do a scratch test on the wood above the scion. If it is green then rub off all the shoots below the union and wait for your tree to leaf out. Sometimes it may takes a while.

I had a jujube that I planted one dormant season and when the growing season came it just didn't want to push from the graft. The graft was still alive (i.e. it passed the scratch test), but the tree only wanted to push growth from below the graft. I kept rubbing it off, and it might have finally pushed some very weak growth from the graft, but if it did it withered and died. The tree had been grafted the year before at the nursery and grown fine, but the second year was different. Has anyone else seen anything like this with a jujube or any other grafted tree?
