Grafting On The Peach

Categories: Fruit Growing

Will pears do to graft on the peach, or will plums do well on the peach?

How soon ought they to bear when grafted on the peach which is past

three years old?



Pears cannot be grafted on peaches. Plums generally do well on the

peach, and if the grafts are taken from bearing trees, should come into

fruit the second season. The peach is more difficult to graft than other

fruit trees, because of the drying back of the bark. Be extra careful in

the waxing and be sure that the waxing remains good until the growth

starts out well the following summer.
