any pics of your new plant??

HOW much did you spend????

Not much to see just a cutting. They are not selling rooted plants now seems the owner wants to plant the trees/bushes at his house so these will get very scare for the next three/four years. 99.00 got the cutting .... now have to get it rooted.

Can you say G R A F T

At this time of year I would not venture trying to root such an expensive cutting, personally.

Wow!! Just looked up the flower on this and boy is it nice!!!!have you tried water rooting??

I just dropped $60 on a rooted makaha sunn..darn this hobby!!

You got us thinking around here about the grafting. Not real adept at it. But this might be one to try.
Mark, done a few in water but have really good results with putting them in dirt. Makaha Sun is a beauty.

You know Florida Colors does custom grafts for a very small price....

Got home today from work and Stuart grafted the Kapalua to a nice Hawaiian Rose root.

He did a wonderful job!!! I was really tickled I didn't have to do it

Nice job and great to have it so well documented. Here's hoping it will take!

Enjoyed viewing your pictures.

I gave you and Stuart 5 acorns Robert because I think that is a great tutorial! I was successful 1 out of 10 on my graft, now I know why... I didn't do it as well as Stuart did

Thanks Gigi! psssst... I don't ever do anything as well

Great Pics Robert! Stuart is awesome! We communicate a lot on Flickr! I didnt realize you knew him..small world!

@RobertB if you were to post that in a separate thread I'd make it sticky (and give you some acorns for your trouble....)
