Grafting cherries

9 years ago

So I have around 50 1 year old ungrafted cherries and was wondering what I should graft them over with. They can be top worked with sweet or sour and these are semi dwarfs. I'm thinking montmorency. Can I use scion wood from carmine Jewell or another natural dwarf?

Mike I will hit you up in the spring on the cherry scions. You know how to contact me. Thank you ! Thanks Konrad I know from previous posts you do lots of cherry grafting. My northstar is very healthy but has never given an impressive crop of cherries so I was not going to use scion wood from it. The carmine jewels look great and bear very well. I grafted over a tree to Montmorencey last year and it looks great. The parent tree bears very heavy.
