| These are apricots I grafted onto Citation. You can see the tongue of both scion and rootstock on the one graft. Makes a strong looking union and probably strong in actual practice. The grafts were done ~3 years ago and are now about 2 inches diameter.

| Excellent job. Have you grafted an interstem? I'll be doing that next year. This week I budded two flavor delight aprium (patent expired) buds into a limb of my plum hybrid---prunus salicina, seed parent, x prunus cerasifera, pollen parent----then during late-winter, I'll graft it onto a colt cherry rootstock; I will also graft a bing cherry scion onto the Colt rootstock. I just want to have and aprium and cherry on the same rootstock. Will the plum hybrid be compatible with the colt rootstock? |

| Yup, nice work there Fruitnut! I'm going to try my hand a grafting citrus next spring. |

| Wish I could do so well |

| Beautiful tight work. How accurate. I will try my first grafting next spring on my old stump from my 'harglow' apricot that blew down in hurricane sandy. I've been nurturing select new growth coming out of the stump that will be excellent for grafting. I believe the stump is either citation or Krymsk 1. I now will have to think about what to graft.

| Those look so clean fruitnut, nice knife work. Mine look like that (pomme) when I graft but they form a thick knot around the graft when they fuse. They work, nonethe less. Here are some pics:
