Last night a bunch of sticks came in the mail; by sticks I mean Annona scions. I bought some cherimoya, sugar apple, and ilama and I was excited to try a late summer green scion graft. The first round of grafting in the early spring took pretty well though I didn't shield them from the sun as I should have. African Pride in just a few short months has 3 fruits; 2 which are swelling substatially. Lisa and Mexican Giant are doing well. Dream I lost.This time I wrapped them with that cloth tape that you find on newly transplanted trees' trunks. It's just a sunbrella for sticks really. We might have to wait a long time to see what takes, or maybe they'll turn black immediately. The goal is to get as many different types on as many different root stocks as possible so that I can condense my collection. We'll see if that plan comes to fruition or if I just get so many different types that I need all the plants in order to graft the scions.
