Bad News : I have sadly to report a 100% failure rate.
My lone graft died of KNOWN cause : Root stock damping off or a BAD contact, me thinks.
The scion was trying to make a joint but the root stock did not co operate.
The scion tried hard to hang in there for 9 days.
A close autopsy of the root stock showed a healthy root system.
I am growing more Big Beef , as RS, to try again.
