Thanks, Joe.
80 degrees for about six weeks means a big effort and cost. I don't think it's
worth it for a few corkscrew hazelnuts. But I'll get the MSU booklet anyway.

: One of Mid-Michigan's fruit/nut growers grafts filberts commercially. It is not
: easy to get takes. Sid is a nice guy but Sid does not talk much.
:
: What he does say:
: -Filberts are very fussy about callousing temperature. He built a building to
: callous filbert grafts in. He keeps the temp very close to 80 F. He places the
: grafted rootstock in a large pot and callouses the whole shebang in his
building.
: He does not worry if it pushes leaves because he has little shock since he
leaves
: it in the pot.
: -He often use a simple splice graft. That may be due to the large diameters he
: sometimes works with.....it might be due to the tendency for the top part of the
: rootstock to slough-off....as noted by Gordon
: -He leaves a "nurse bud" at the top of the rootstock, also pointed out by
Gordon.
