Patty:
Ho-ho-ho! Thanks Patty for thinking so very highly of me. Do I sound like I know a lot?
The first time I know anything about grafting was when my friend JoeReal showed me how at Ez's house how to do it.
I tried marcotting before but that was before you were born I think and never tried it again because I was not successful.
But just want to let you know how far did I make it. Thanks for the compliment.
I feel like a big proud man now now that mentioned it.

Here's another link to Mr. Texas on whip tongue grafting (if you can stand the ads!)

it's nice to be appreciated Benny! Thanks

Thank you SOOO much. I really appreciate the links. I think I'm going to try the last link you gave me first. I just need to get myself some grafting tape. When I succeed, I'll graduate myself to another type of grafting.

Thanks, again.

Patty. Thanks.
This is my favorite graft by the way. I do 99 % of my grafting this way because I find it so very simple to do and I am mostly successful most of the time. But I experemented just this week. I did not split either one. I just cut both scion and mother plant the same angle and length because I find it so delicate to split both so tender with precision.

If you can't find it locally they have it here at a decent price.
