Hi !
I present to you here an essential part of my job as a nurseryman: grafting, and here more precisely, summer grafting using the escutcheon method.
There are others that can be done in the summer, such as chip budding.
The particularity of summer transplants is that the grafted bud will remain dormant until the spring of next year, when it can start.
To guarantee its departure, in a vigorous way, we will cut the rootstock just above the escutcheon, during February of the following year.
Do not hesitate to ask questions in the comments, and to visit my website: lapepinieredufruitier.fr where you can find the fruit of my work, the trees, as well as written tutorials.
