Carob Scion/budwood of heirloom varieties
Hi all,

The grafts I did a few years back are ready to share so if you are keen let me know.
Scion will be supplied for the cost of postage on the agreement you “pay it forward” and sell/share or barter the varieties so they are not lost to the permies.

Grafting carob is not easy but a few precautions will get you fair results


If your grafts fail, let me know and we can try again or try another option.

I'm located SE of Melbourne Australia. so can't post o/s

Varieties are:
SFAX (female)
CASUDA (female)
CLIFFORD (hermaphrodite)

cheers

Hi David,

No problem with the budwood usually i graft in spring about oct we can touch base Sept to make arrangements. A word of warning they are very hard to graft and best to graft trees that are in the ground with lots of vigour.

That is a old post and have been experimenting with air layering with good success. I may have all three varieties in spring fingers cross. I'm giving them away for cost of postage/free on the agreement you "pay it forward" and sell, share or trade them so they are not lost.

Here is the link to my latest post on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/xjdH4z36KxFpdpvY/

Cheers
Karl
