One of the things I love about grafting is that it forces you to slow down. Patience has never been my strong point but grafting gives you no other option then to be deliberate, tend, hope and watch.
The image is of a Tropic Snow peach grafted about this time last year. The graft took and the tree is doing well! Today was the first day I’ve really felt confident in taking off the gardeners tape and seeing how things looked.
