|Bud Grafted Lilac Bush. 7.25.14|
This bush has stems about 1/2 inch diameter. This is a young bush, that had its first 2 flowers this year. They didn't amount to much, so the grafts could enhance it quite a bit. The bark slipped nicely.
I don't know the names of any of these lilacs. They are white, blue, lilac-color, purple, single, double. The stock is pink-ish.
Checking today, the buds remain plump and green. Same method as everything else.
If they grow, that's great. If not, at least I tried.
I expect, if the grafts take, it will be new growth next year, and potential flowers in Spring 2016. Long way away. But why not try?
