We have been trying to FAX you a package of olive grafting information
without success. The number we have is:61-2-649401159. It seems to want to
go through but then the report that we get following transmission is
negative. Have you been receiving any of it? We can mail this material to
you as well if you wish. Please advise.

Subject: [OliveOil] Grafting advice
Like John Bishop, I, too, would like to change the variety of some 1 and 2
year old trees by grafting new stock onto the existing plants. It's not
because the original plants are not doing well but the supplier of the
plants has revealed that through DNA testing I was not supplied with the
variety requested.
Can anyone advise on the best timing and method to carry out such an
operation.
Questions which come to mind - Is the scion taken from the selected stock
just prior to grafting and are all the leaves removed? Is there a better
chance of success if a multigraft method is used rather than a single cleft
or whip and tongue graft? Is there some stock and scion combination that
makes success difficult?
I would be grateful for any advice from those who have had some experience
with grafting olives or those ' in the know'
