some more pics of grafting
hello again,
5th pic is the donor grape vine, i chose a fairly shady spot, so the midday sun wont cook it....
6th pic shows where i wanted to attempt this graft to take place, i chose here just as i chose where to take a clone on the weed plant. for best results you will need a supple shoot, there were not that many available on the vine, so i used this fresh sprout....
7th pic is the splice, i cocked up first time and cut the vine sprout off, so i done it again, realy the graft should be a little longer but i was worried about chopping this one off too. i kept it close to the node but far enough away to be able to tie it up, i just sliced the knife downward cutting into the vines stem not to deep just enough to create a flap of stem
8th, shows doing the same with the weed, only difference it was in the oposite direction, its inportent to not go to deep....
more pics to follow in a minuet peace happy ....................
