Zutano seedling purchased from Fruitwood, grafted with Stewart.
 | pre-winter report | 2024-11-20 22:23:12 | Robust growth, both vertical and lateral - about 40" tall, Nov 2024 Planted in 10gal "squat pot" Graft was low enough that I was able to up-pot with the graft planted below grade - this is an attempt to isolate the impact of cold winter air to just the grafted cultivar portion of the plant. The below grade stem is planted on a diagonal, to avoid roots being too deep (This is the same technique as when planting a tomato start in the garden, bury half the stem to develop additional roots.) |
 | pre-winter report | 2023-10-29 20:27:46 | July 2023, up-potted into a 10gal "squat pot". Graft below soil-line to try to isolate the impact of cold to just the grafted cultivar. Zutano rootstock was buried mostly horizontally (similar to approach of planting a tomato deep.) Photo for pre-winter report was taken Oct 24, 2023 |
