Technically that’s true but normally it’s green. That was the problem with one of those plums. Exposing the cambium there was no green to be seen or anything resembling cambium. Side grafting it to a Hansen cherry is challenging when I couldnt line it up. I’m referencing this experiment I did 8 years ago "What plum scion wood to use on prunus besseyi ?

What is your opinion of the best plum wood to graft on a western sand cherry? The base is about the size of my wrist. I was planning to use a rind grafting technique. What are your thoughts?

Wanted to give a quick update as it may be useful to someone in the future. We decided to use Alderman, Toka, Superior, Kahinta, Waneta, and Gracious scion wood to rind graft over the existing sand cherries because they are hybrids. " garden web since has removed many of those old experiments we did which is unfortunate Compatibility grafting? - #23 by clarkinks
