Bumzer!!! Today I planned to top work over this large old cooking apple tree, grafting it over to a quality eating (dessert) apple. I am quite certain that I cut the scion wood from Queen Cox and bagged it up with a label. I WAS sure that I had put it in the fridge. But it is not there. I even searched through all the odd bags of leftover scion wood from my scion wood send out that I did earlier this year, not there either. If it had been, there is slim chance it would have worked anyway, this wood is in the garage which isn't very cold and much of it is sprouting.
Reminds me of the verse from Song of Solomon 'I have tended the vineyards of others, but my own vineyard I have not kept.'
The only thing to do now is wait another year. That is not a bad option but was not my first choice. lack of due care and attention, too many things to do. I must earn the lesson and try to avoid taking on too many tasks.
