I have plum, peach, apple, and pear trees that the scion didn't survive last winters 2 months of below zero weather. However, the rootstocks are doing fine and I have been pruning them to a single sprout.

I also have a few where I have sprouts from the trunk a foot or two above the original graft.

I am assuming time to fruit will be less for successful grafts on well established 2 or 3 year old rootstocks vs. just replanting. Is this correct? i assume all the grafting activity occurs next spring.

I do have other trees to provide the grafts.

So ... are my assumptions valid?

is there anything i should be doing now?

as always thx for advice.

if anyone ever needs expert advice on stone or quartz countertops I'm the guy to ask.
