Creating cork bark black pine – follow-up

September 27, 2013 by Jonas Dupuich

Earlier this year I grafted a few cork bark scions onto 3-year old black pines (see “Creating cork bark black pine“). As the new shoots inside the grafting bags began to harden off, I opened the bags a big to prevent the foliage from rotting. A few weeks later I removed the tape shading the scions and opened the tops of the bags.

I prefer using painter’s tape to duct tape as it lets in more light and is easier to apply.

I’ll remove the rest of the bags in a few weeks but leave the tape securing the scions in place until next year. I’ll also protect the trees in winter as the scions are still delicate at this point.
