Abstract:
THe results obtained from grafting presumably non-dormant Pyrus budwood were recently described by Thompson (2). "Green Wood Grafting" is suggested as a term for this technique since it more accurately describes the dormancy condition of the scion wood.
In this test, vigorously growing terminal shoots of 'Starking Delicious', 30-32 cm in length, were collected on 2 July 1975. the leaf blades and all but 5-6 mm of the petioles were immediately removed.
Approximately 5 cm of the softest green tissue at the distal ends of the scions was also excised.
Scions thus prepared were held in poly wrapping at c.a. 5°C until the following day.
