Question about Peach Bud Grafting

You only need one bud. If flowers come from that bud then pinch them off and vegetative growth will take over.

Here, watch this video:

Force the chip next-year but not this year. A colleague, nurseryman & friend in zone 6A Kentucky says many of his summer grafts die if they grow/are forced in the same year from winter cold.

Of course, it’s your call.
