We had a warm January this year so I decided to try my budding skills (according to Cyra) on grafting. See attached:
(These 2 still have shiny tips as of this week and with little leaves clawing out.. So I think these will survive.)
(The top one rotted and I now replaced it with the 2 inches DSP cutting I saved from air-layering experiments. All three experiments are doing good.)
I will post updates later when leaves are visible.
