Okay, so I went to Richlins house and he had recieved a plumeria that was grafted by someone else. They actually cut a little nub off a plumie and grafted it onto another. That nubbie grew and it looked really cool. Has anyone tried this?
Flutter
Grafting a "Nub"
Flutter, a "nub" an inflo that bears no flowers and causes branching. This occurs commonly with seedlings. I think you might be referring to a "bud" or perhaps "tip grafting"? Both are common in Thailand. I haven't tried bud grafting yet, but my dear friend Kukiat does it all the time.
Okay, let me be sure...On the sides of the big branch are little what I call nubs. let me post one example. maybe this is bud grafting? help
Yes, that is a node that is used for bud grafting;-) A "nub" is a false inflo.
Little did I know that I had the right plumeria vocab for a different part :) Okay so you haven't grafted a node. Is it lack of trying? I figured you did everything by now :)
Right! I've been seeing a few nubs this summer on my seedlings;-) I've been grafting, but with cuttings not nodes yet. I usually graft out of necessity, and I haven't needed to just graft a node yet. I've grafted some pretty short ones though. I do have quite a few cultivars that were grafted that way by my friend Kukiat.
LOL! Yep, like this 'Singapore,' which took and is growing great:
Aye! Thats a littlin too. ;)
Michael, I'm especially impressed with the wrap job you did on the center cut tips!
