An update on some of the top worked grafts. Tried to keep them in the order of my original pics but didn’t get pics of the last one.
The grafts in this pic without leaves are some new ones I tried just to see if the take this time of the year

Going to start grafting pears today and holding off on apples a little longer. I have few like these that need top worked this year but I thought I would revive the thread for anyone who might need it for a reference.

Freezing rain here overnight so no plans to work on trees today but have been marking branches and water sprouts for grafting (as well as pruning )over to the many varieties of scion wood I have sitting in the fridge. Will be at least a month before I can start though. Many of the grafts I did last spring grew a couple ft .
Last year I tried wrap and seal with sealer, and seal first and then wrap. The fact proved that seal first and then wrap had almost 100% percent success with grafting. Two of wrap and seal way died. This year I did cleft grafting by tighting with wire and sealing without wrapping. I will update the results.

Yes you may copy the photo. What will you use it for? Bernie in Canada asked permission to use some top working pears photos a year or so ago to share as an instructional for users in Canada. I like to share fruit growing concepts with others but i suspect if you read many of my posts you already know that.
