collombatti starts with ... Hi _ I have a Placentia Low Chill Walnut - it was growing ok - the graft has failed to come out of dormancy now winter is over. The rootstock is I understand a Black Walnut - it is growing profusely - should I let the rootstock grow in the hope I can buy/swap for a Placentia Walnut scion somewhere down the track? or cut my losses?

collombatti says... Thanks for the feedback - no sign of the graft coming out of dormancy the rootstock has put up long shoots 30cm long after we received rain. I have been watering the plant to keep it alive despite being in dormancy. At least one of your Low Chill Walnuts has come out of dormancy - !! and you can always cut a new graft, provided the Black Walnut rootstock is growing and has an active cambrium later. I'd be happy to buy some grafting scions from you once your success story comes to life. The trees arent cheap are they. Fingers crossed. I am located down on the Mid North Coast of NSW, inland from South West Rocks.

lilitheleanor says... I haven't had any shoots off either rootstock yet. I also kept mine watered through dormancy, although not overly wet. I'm relieved I have shoots on one of the grafts, yes they definitely aren't cheap. I'm happy to provide you with some grafting scions. So hopefully the plant starts to thrive. We have had perfect weather up here so it has the best chances.
