Plum/Pluot graft before/after one full season

9 years ago

Here is a plum/pluot graft I did last Jan. This picture was taken last March. The understock was a 5/8" dia. seedling plum I dug up from the corner of my yard and cut off at knee height. I bark grafted Flavorich pluot on the left and Burgundy plum on the right

Thanks, It's a fun hobby. I learned from watching youtube videos. I'm still amazed every time one "takes"
This one is a Flavor King pluot I side grafted to a seedling plum 2 years ago.

Those are great photos!

I just got into grafting successfully the past couple of years. It's kind of addictive. I keep looking for things to graft.
