I pruned the small Bonfire peach trees, which left me with several cuttings. I dipped them in rooting hormone and put some in water and the others in vermiculite. I don't know if they'll grow, but its worth a try.

Peach Tree Grafts
My peach trees seem ready to break dormancy, so I decided to repot them. The little trees propagated via air layering were big enough to graft. I've never tried to graft before, so I don't know how successful the grafts will be. The tree with only one graft was not grafted properly. The scion wood was slightly smaller than it should have been. I don't know if I matched up the cambium layers enough. Oh well, time will tell. The rootstock is Bonfire peach (I think), and the scion is Belle of Georgia.
