Hi Charlie,

I remember you had a few of these a while back.  I was on the list to get one, but I missed it twice!  How is this cv coming along?

bump lol

I would like to know more about this cv too

[Charlie]

I've done a lot of grafts lately - Dark Angel, Black Cherry, Her Majesty, Etoufee, Angel's Wing, Strawberry Cream, Shockwave, and others I can't recall right now but not Desert Fire. Thanks for the reminder, I'll get it done next round. The original plant yielded some cuttings that did root but none of the plants since then have done the same, so it's to be a grafted plant in the future.

Oh I didnt know that Strawberry Creme was a grafter!  What does Etoufee look like?

[Charlie]

Etoufee is a big brown that Dupont introduced some years ago but does not seem to sell anymore. I suspect that is because it did not root well enough after the first cuttings from a seedling. This is not uncommon. I have some requests for Etoufee so decided to include it in the last bunch that were grafted.

I don't usually graft Strawberry Cream but wanted to see the performance of it grafted vs own root.
