Theory

15 years ago

I have a theory that if a seed were grown into a tree and that one-only branch was grafted and that only the current year-old wood were grafted with only one new-plant kept for stock-plant wood for the future graft, the following year that the wood will theoretically-age thus producing a cone at the relative date that a seed-grown tree of the same origin, would naturally produce its', first cone.

Any reason not to believe this... or are there more mechanics involved than I'm unable of knowing at this juncture?

are you asking ... that if it cones in 10 years ...

but you grow it from seed to say 7 years ... and then graft a piece...

would that grafted piece be the age equivalent.. and therefor cone in 3 years..

or would the grafting set it back in coning-bearing-age terms???

i have no clue.. just trying to help you by clarifying the question ...

the first year available for grafting scions. for example those guys in Oregon can grow a Korean fir transplant in 2-3 years that has thick & stout branches perfect for grafting to seedlings. it might be necessary to promote growth to produce a branch, consecutive to each year, but I think that it's all doable.
