New obsession with outside garden, topiery etc.

[Leafmite]

I never knew that grafting was used in pine trees. I will need to read about that.

My late orchard (apples, cherries, pears, peach, apricot, plums) was all grafted trees and my orange trees are grafted as the lemon probably is. The figs and bananas are not but they are both fast-growing trees. I prefer non-grafted but grafting allows one to pick fruit earlier, dwarfs trees that might grow too large or helps a tree/shrub survive where it normally would not.

Good luck with your outside garden! It seems to really be a source of joy for you.
