I've tried the tubes and they just seem to be too small for people with big hands. I've used these with great success.

What would grafting do?

I grafted 13 plants onto Spirit 4 days ago & have not had any wilting. I wanted to do 20 but several Spirit seedlings were too large (5) or puny (2) to match-up.
So, to compensate for the losses & set the clock back a bit, I'm rooting some of the clippings. Hope that will work. Next year, my scion varieties will get a 1 week head start.
I'm also wondering if growing-out the extra rootstocks to get seed is advisable. -
What an excellent video! Thank you. You're helping an old gardener from Pennsylvania. Thanks again!!!

Thanks: excellent, clear video. Are the silicone clips reusable?

I'm wondering where I can buy those plastic clips?

I was wondering what variety of root stock are you using, where can I get it. Also to consider cost as a factor. What is a good variety that is cost efficient. I have found maxifort online 24 seeds for $17. that seems a little expensive to me.
