Roots on the graft union

momato · March 17, 2014

I just noticed some roots forming at where the rootstock and the scion should I just it it off or will it just die after being exposed to air I am just starting to move them out of the chamber

I ended up gently cutting the roots off at the graft and they seem fine

Moe,
That was the right call. What are you grafting? Do share!

I am grafting using supernatural rootstock and celebrity and Bella rosa this is my first time trying it the conventional way using the healing chamber and it didn't go that we'll I lost 15 out of 20 then. The second try I did the no root grafting way and so far I lost just one out of ten this has been working pretty nice the one mistake that I noticed is not to mist your plants
