Here are two more samples of Joe’s bark graft
Both are Lou’s pears grafted to the same tree: an Asian pear




And here’s a sample or what a Majorcan graft look like. I found out that it is nothing but a Chip Grafting.



And I did a Chip graft to my Santa Rosa Plum The scion being another kind of special plum which were grafted on 4/10/06.

Update on Lou's pear with Joe's bark graft photo taken:
5 15 06
Grafted on 4 10 06

Status of my grafted Pears and cherry as of 5 20 06. Notice that the cherry has no leaves. It just flowered and fruited.

I am amazed how grafting is most satisfying. Here’s one grafted on 5 10 06 and now after new buds formed it came up with a flower.


And here’s one that was grafted as a flower bud. It is the same previous picture posted on May 2 2006. It is now a fruit as big as a pellet and grew new leaves around it. So folks, try grafting and budding next time. This is my intent here. To convince you that it can be done. Please tell me how many of you I already convinced.

And both are grafted as Joe’s bark graft.

All of the 6 grafts by Joe's bark graft method that I did on my Fuji apple are growing so fast now and it seems that the milk method that Joe prescribed for powdery mildew is working wonderfully. I am going to do the other 2 Fujis that I have today.
Thank you Joe so much.

Lou's pear

My cherry trees are almost ripe. In a few days I will be harvesting them.
This is a stella cherry and left fruits is a prince Ranier cherries. Grafted to the host


another view



and another. It is its 3rd year of fruiting



A Prince Ranier Cherry its 2nd year of fruit. In the background was my Fuji apple that a main branch broke because of the weight of the fruits it carried.



In front is EZ’s Oroblanco grafted to a midknight orange on the background is a prince ranier cherry. I just trasferred both of this at the first set of Spring to the ground.

Benny,

You beat me again into producing a showcase cherry on a pot. I have grafted 8 kinds of cherries unto a craig's crimson cherry planted in a 15-gallon pot. It produced about 10 wonderful tasting cherries this year, hope to have more next year, but you beat me already in terms of number of fruits from a potted cherry.

Lucious looking!

Joe

Joe:
Heh-heh.
Now I know a student can beat a teacher in project experiments.
Thanks for the compliments Joe.

Benny
PS
The banana you gave me is now growing beautifully when I planted it on the ground.
And I am really looking microscopically for signs of flowers of your Bicol calamondin but I guess as you said the trunk has to have some muscles in them before it will flower. It is tall now because I put a redwood stick to lean on and the trunk is still small yet but talller. I cut the top off so it will branch out. It is doing real great. I'll send you a picture once it flowers. And the trifoliate you gave me has so many calamondin fruits in them.
I grafted some kind od mandarins on the other two branches but it did not take but now it has a sport that is growing like crazy.
