Grafted with Mayo in February 2022, which has been slow to grow and the graft union is ugly, but looks like it may outgrow that.
This tree does not have any grafts on it.
All updates:
(July 6, 2024) Photo update -- Tree is definitely dead. :'(
(February 10, 2024) Frost damage update 2/10/24 -- Surrounded tree with a "wall 'o water" and covered with row cover before the hard frost came through. We got down to at least 24* here. The leaves have all turned splotchy, but the stem and buds still look like they have some life so I'm hopeful. Wall 'o water will remain in place until frosts are no longer a concern but I did remove the row cover.
(February 10, 2024) Pre-deep-freeze photo 12/22/23 -- Seems to be handling the winter well so far.
(December 22, 2023) Sept. 29, 2023 graft update -- The graft ain't looking so hot. Tree is growing well and seems healthy otherwise. Not growing nearly as quickly as it's neighbor, #134.
(December 22, 2023) July 18, 2023 photo update #2 -- View of the whole tree.
(December 22, 2023) July 18, 2023 photo update #1 -- The graft union doesn't look great. Rootstock tried to send up a little branch, which I pinched off.
