Avocado, Field Grafting Part 2

From the previous episode, Avocado Field Grafting.

It seems that bud grafting works well for semi-matured Avocado trees. Other grafts didn't work out, due to various reasons, in the field. I had extended the grafting to more trees. Some trees that doesn't looks like a grafted tree have been re-grafted.

Tree had been pruned.

Buds grafted in September.
Most of the buds are surviving, but still encountering resistance from the tree. There is no flush yet. May have to wait till the next flushing season for the required push.
No growth since then.
The only growing bud.

Showing very good growth. The join is also healing well and strong.

There is only 1 bud graft that had taken off with good growth. More updates in the next couple of months.
