Mike says... These days I always use the grafting tape and have a plastic bag with a few holes over the top for cleft grafts.I gave up on the grafting wax but still use the bituminous pruning spray to seal it after I remove the tape.The wind does cause dramas if I leave them in vulnerable spots.Approach grafting is slower and not as good for doing lots but has a good success rate.There are guides around that advise on the best grafting technique and preferred age/thickness of scions and rootstocks for each species. | About the Author Cairns 24th February 2012 9:06pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... john that was my experience with grafting wax and just the standard bunnings grafting tape,plastic cylinder and pegs/clips at times is good enough for clefts and saddles (ala John Mc).I did some hypocotyl and epicotyl grafting for early fruiting,dwarfing and low later rejection but they died of thirst when I was on holidays. | About the Author Cairns 25th February 2012 9:57am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... John Mc Z2 is much like Z4 with more seeds and bigger tha Z3.Fruit are large,firm and deep yellow when ripwe and the trees are large and productive.They are better than inca gold, the NT T series and gray.I reckon he 3 best in order are E4,Z4 and Z2.The Z stands for Zapalla who live at Hervey Creek. | About the Author Cairns 26th February 2012 6:40pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
John Mc says... Thanks Mike, I have a couple of seedlings from Daley's and three seedling Z4's thanks to you. I still don't know how they are going to perform in my climate, I have one in a pot approaching two years of age reaching well over 2m high and no sign of any flowers. Maybe another 12 months? | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 26th February 2012 7:54pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... John Mc up here seedlings take about 3 or 4 years (2.8m) to fruit and grafted ones 2 or 3 (2.3m).They usually have a flowering year prior to the fruit sticking.You get more fruit if they can x-pollinate with another tree.They are well worth it and have sweet fruit with subtle caramel and vanilla flavours.I value my trees as highly as any fruit trees in the yard. I would have thought there was no chance of growing them outside the tropics but many people on this forum are pushing back the frontiers with tropical fruit. | About the Author Cairns 26th February 2012 8:14pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
