Black walnut bench-grafting procedure reduces stock suckering

Early attempts to graft scions from superior black walnut ortets onto seedling rootstocks resulted in graft unions that were troublesome during greenhouse propagation and among grafted trees in a seed and clone orchard near Milford, Kans. Graft unions made above or at the root collar resulted in shoots developing on the stocks to the detriment of the scion. Suckers regularly removed recurred on some stocks for three growing seasons. Failure to remove shoots resulted in loss of the scion.
