I have a vague recollection that maples are unusual in that you don't graft them in late winter/early spring like fruit trees, but now I can't find the source. Any tips on grafting maples; which standard techniques work, and which don't?
Grafting of silver and sugar maples same as grafting of Japanese maples in my experience. There are several threads on grafting Japanese maples already on the site and linked below. Good luck Winter Grafting That Time Again http://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/threads/summer-grafting-with-photos.63205/ Keith
Winter grafting. I started grafting on the 6th of February. First photo is from 27.02 Second is from yesterday. I still have to babysit them for 2 more weeks before removing the poly tent and turning off the heating.
