Grafting peaches

Well I’m going to try some splice grafts this year onto one year wood thick as two pencils with one year scion wood the same diameter. I’ll let you know how the grafts do.

Just wondered if peach is harder than nectarine? This youtube video from Dave Wilson Nursery about top working their Goldmine nectarine with 2 months and 6 months follow ups. Their tree trunk must be at least 5 years old…

I’m doing the same thing, so we’ll compare notes.

Old timers around here say that budding in summer is easier than w & t now. I grow seedlings of Elberta. They taste good and are said to get less disease than grafted. I haven’t had much luck with w and T.

Thanks John, I have a huge Elberta and last year was its first year in 8 years to get brown rot. I love Elberta peaches!

This peach scion starting to sprout.
Any advice?
Maybe a cleft of equal diameter rootstock and use paraffin tape over the whole section with one wrap only at sprouts?
Or too late?!
Will try nothing to lose
Thanks
