Awesome specimens Christer, it's always fun to see what you have going on with your grafts. I'm waiting a few more months until spring starts up, and hopefully I'll be able to have some active growth this time around.

Thanks.

I am waiting for the spring as well, but the grafts are growing under light

A lot of my grafts are experiments to find out methods and if everything is true what "they say" - and a lot are not

those look remarkably well! they seem quite big already, or is your camera playing tricks on me?
the superglue method sure works well for you!

I use focal length 50mm so it should be correct as the ruler says

The ruler shows cm/mm by the way...

Yes, it works well to use super-glue with older scions that has thicker epidermis, and I have tried it on many different stocks

Great looking Grafts! I tried the Crazy glue method on 6 grafts but the Pereskiopsis rotted on all of them

The two not grafted to Pereskiopsis seem ok.
Maybe I did something wrong or it just doesn't work on Pereskiopsis rootstock.
Better luck next time

Did you use this method on old or young seedlings?
I've tried my self with young seedlings and it didn't work

Maybe the skin get burned?
