I just made my first grafts this year.  The pears and Asian pears have woken up.  They are starting to unfurl their leaf and flower buds, so I figured that it's time to graft.  I tried to graft Orcas on another pear and on quince,  and Chojuro on Asian pear. 

My cherries and quinces have also woken up.  Apples are still sleepy.

I've been grafting cherries with the new grafting glue. Seems to be going well. 
Surefire on pie cherry seedlings.

Nice.  I grafted what I think is Golden Russet to a couple of thin M26 rootstocks that I propagated from layered suckers yesterday.  I finally cut the top off of my big tree that was grafted way too high.  Golden Russet has an unruly growth habit, so I'm looking forward to having it on its own tree that can be pruned accordingly.

I'll be doing other stuff during spring break.  Next will be adding Abate Fetel to quince and its own pear rootstock.
