Hot Callus Pipe DIY

I’m going to report real quickly, instead of writing a novel.

The entire Genus Carya about 40% I’d guess. I have removed 90 grafts that I thought were good with b.walnuts mixed in there everyone, & I can conclude that nut tree reputation is true. They don’t graft easy.

Walnuts about 0%. I edited the first post so anyone just beginning will know. Walnuts do not like wet feet and I grafted bareroot-seedlings with roots wrapped in pretty wet towels. Is that the answer? Until someone tells me differently - why not think like that.

Persimmons - very easy.

pawpaws - very easy but I had aftercare losses. I’m down to 27 from 38 but these are very strong growing.

Last piece of information: whip & tongue was highly unsuccessful vs. V-cut tool on NUT-TREES. I’ll direct you to a link on that that very long w/plenty to learn I’m sure but the whole point is that within the first (I don’t know) 10-12 posts I show photos of a modification done in 5-minutes with a round rasp; the tool is only 20$ and replacement blades, 5$. It’s that simple. You buy them on alibaba or aliexpress and get replacement blades at the same time. Somewhere in those 240 posts are links, however, you’ll find what you need w/o searching that thread if you simply search those website.

Thanks everyone,

Dax
