Can you do a video of the aftercare? Tempertures, humidity, light intensity.

How lucky to have a video from Burkland Gardens with Gil and Dave. Could my winter snowy Sunday be any better? Thank you. The video is much appreciated.

Hey writing in from South Dakota I have a Pine tree in my front yard that has Deer problems. They have eaten the bark and branches off of most of the mid part of the tree. Wondered if it is worth trying to salvage and what would be the most splices would you be willing to try at time. Also, should I be wrapping the part of the tree where it's been debarked.

How do you keep the scion foliage from dessicating?

[@burklandgardens643]

Keeping your scion in a fridge in a zip lock bag will keep it viable. Don't let the wood freeze. Scions can last up to several months, but my advice is to graft as soon as possible. Thanks for watching, Gil
