I had good luck with my gratf efforts done in late September/early October - http://growingfruit.org/t/late-chip-bud-grafting-in-figs-looking-good/7580?u=jsacadura
They are all dormant now and they had almost no growth, being grafted so late in the season, but i don’t see a single graft that seems to have failed. I will confirm their success in the spring, except the one’s i’ve done using the whip and graft technique. These even managed to produce a few leaves before they entered into dormancy due to the stable weather we experienced in the fall.
Here’s one grafted in the 29th of September - photo taken in December 12:
On the contrary, the chips that i grafted in June, July and August had time to grow quite well, like this one, grafted in mid June (first photo in October and second photo now)
But the growth from a cutting with a terminal bud grafted to a robust stock using the whip and tongue technique can’t simply be matched by chips, like in the following example:
Variety Sbayi, grafted in March (photo in April):
In June it was like this:
One of the branches in October
By the end of the year i had to prune it !! to control the growth.
