Pineapple guava

[SoCalBackyard]

I had no trouble grafting two feijoa cultivars using cleft grafts with dormant first-year hardened wood, performed in early spring. Another one that I tried later in spring had total failure, though. I’m planning to try again this spring for the failed one, not sure if it was timing related or if that particular plant is just tougher to graft.

Anyone have recs on where to get good (small) rootstock for pineapple guavas? I see a whole bunch of specific varieties available at OGW so I could get the cheapest of those and try to graft on top.

I got some scionwood from ReallyGoodPlants (Marta) but didn’t realize how (relatively) annoying it was going to be to find plants to try grafting on. I got the following scions:
Albert’s Supreme
Lickver’s Pride
Marjane

I’m assuming I just save them in the fridge just like any other scion?

I saw the detailed notes on how hard it is to graft above so I know this is an uphill battle but there was also a lot of great info above on what to do to try to succeed.

Thanks!
