Congratulations Buddinman. I did worse than you.
I budded about 540 all over California, a few have sprouted before lopping off, about 50 died out in the heat, the rest are still green and healthy. I'm preparing to T-bud again.
None of the Jincheng budwoods have successfully taken, all of the grafters that I've shared budwoods with, including mine. Must be a bad batch or did not like the preparation processing and inspection at UCR before they were shipped out.
Again, I have plenty of non-takers on my Satsuma plant. Will have to rebud again when it cools down this Saturday. Hoping that the timing will be right this time.
