So the third time is apparently not the charm for this triple trunk rootstock I’ve been trying to graft to all season. After failing twice with Kaki and hybrids and deciding it must be KSDS, I tried three different Americans. Just like all the others, they appear to be pushing and then they just fail. I think this is just not going to take other grafts for some reason. This fall I’ll dig it out and put one of my persimmons still in containers in its place. Painful to lose a season after having lost the previous year when the Rosseyanka top died back from a nice 8 foot tree. Thankfully most of my other grafts are doing well.
