Looks like it worked. Another lesson learnt: select healthy scions or don't even try.
I used a couple scions from weaker blaauw plants from a nursery plagued by spider mites. Those plants have been treated last fall and were in the recovery phase. Because I lopped off a bunch of branches I figured to make good use of those and used a couple for scions.
The result is that 1 out of every 5 took, whereas from a healthy donor it was 5 out of 6.
Pine approach grafts from last fall seem to be healing nicely, I'll take a couple pictures next time. Had two flukes as well because the cuts weren't deep enough. But that's how we learn.
Again with the percolation issues on two of my scots pines. I wonder why..
Nah just kidding. It's fungus. I know why.
Used this chunk to inoculate some pots that haven't accepted this symbiont.
