First buds to pop on 2019 grafts

    Today, I start on a long drive to Indiana to teach pecan tree grafting to some eager nut growers. But before I jump in to the pickup, I decided to take a photo of one of my 2019 Kanza grafts just to remind folks that grafting pecan trees is one of the most rewarding aspects of starting a new pecan orchard. I am always amazed how I can place a dormant piece of scionwood on a stock tree and just a few weeks later the buds pop and the countdown to nut production begins.
   I'm looking forward to meeting both old and new friends in Scottsburg this Saturday (May 18). Click on the events tab above for details and come join us.
