For me usually ympingssäsongen launch in early April and then it is high time now to order suitable rootstocks. The only question is how do you get hold of rootstocks in the best way? Since I grafts quite a few trees every year it pays for me to order directly from wholesalers. They usually require […]
Cherries can be a little more difficult to graft than, for example, apples and pears. Many therefore choose instead to reproduce the cherry through inoculation. Here I have listed the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for use in our climate. Email me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or enter a comment in the comment box if you find errors or have […]
Plums and its relatives apricot, peach and almond can be grafted and inoculated in a relatively wide range of rootstocks. Here I list the rootstocks as my knowledge is suitable for our climate. Please comment on the compilation, either by emailing me at skogstradgard@gmail.com or by leaving a comment in the field below. I will update the tables […]
Thanks for all the rush of apple rootstocks! Now, B118, and M111 inlaid table. In this post, I have compiled an overview of rootstock for pears (Pyrus communis) and they are still relatively rare sand pears (Pyrus pyrifolia). Again, I am quite sure I have missed interesting rootstocks or have done wrong in the tables, so […]
In the last post in the series of different grafting techniques I described what happens when you take scions. At least as important as having scions of good quality is to have a rootstock that is adapted to the desired object. Rootstock provides the budding tree - which of course consists of two different plant individuals - […]
Last year I wrote a few posts that are part of a longer series on grafting, where the various stages of the technology include and variations of grafting included. The series so far consists of posts about grafting indoor, grafting outdoors during the spring and early summer and inoculation. For the first two, it is important to have the scions of good quality […]
For a little while ago skewed a post about grafting indoor, also called bänkympning, the glorious task which for me marks the breaking point between winter and spring. At least as much fun is it to graft in the open on the existing trees. This form of grafting is sometimes called försommarympning or koympning, because one can attach ympriset […]
One of the activities I look forward to most on spring seeding. Nine years ago I attended a ympningskurs and since then there will be more new trees every year. So far this year I have grafted almost 200 trees and is still not finished. Good thing there was so much room for new plants […]
I have long been fascinated by the variety of rowan hybrids that sometimes you can encounter in both literature and reality. Sorbus (Sorbus) comprises many very resistant members that are easily hybridize with other species in the family Amygdaloideae which is part of the family Rosaceae (Rosaceae). Especially in the former Soviet Union, it has […]
All plant orders is the long awaited, but none has been as exciting as this year's delivery from Westergaard's nursery in Denmark. The nursery specializes in nut trees and other edibles from shrubs and trees. After a visit there in autumn 2013 we ordered a number of exciting plants to Stjärnsund. Lars Westergaard who runs the nursery has high hopes for hybridhasslar […]
