When to remove a rubber band from grafted plants
I got an awesome grafted 4222 plumeria from Florida Colors back on 10/17/12. It's been growing under a CFL since I received it and is putting out new leaves so I'm assuming the graft took? It had recently been grafted and still has the rubber band on the graft union (that's how I received it). I'm thinking I should remove it soon however being a newbie I'd like some expert opinions if possible. :)
I've snapped some pics and would love some advice!
One side the graft union looks deep, the other side looks fine.
Thank you,
Hi Robert!!!
I would agree with Mike and call Carol and send her a pic of this graft. The tree looks healthy, but the graft doesn't look like it has (Healed) sealed properly. The tree iself looks healthy and im sure it has healed enough for the tree to continue to do well, but i would be concerned about the space left. She may even mention to seal it and give you the proper sealant to use. My concern would be protecting the opening.
I am no expert, but i would leave the band on and call Carol. She will give you the best advice.
Like i mentioned, the tree loooks great!! I think the graft healed in a different way and it just needs a little more protection. It would make you ( us) feel better. (The tree seems fine with it!!) ;-)
Take care,
Hi Robert,
I am an expert on plumeria grafting and I am going to try to explain what is going on with yor plant and what the prospects are. In grafting plumerias there are two important things: a) making cambium contact between the scion and the rootstock so sap can flow from the rootstock to the scion, and b) maintaining the cambium contact over time. A rubber band (elastic) is generally used to make contact. A plastic tape wrap is used to maintain the cambium contact.
Sometimes in plumeria grafts the cambium line contact between the scion and the rootstock is broken for different reasons (no sap present, scion surface has dried, etc.). What happens then is that the scion acts like a cutting trying to develop roots. It center soft white core swells out to form a callus. If the graft wrap stretches some, it pushes the scion and rootstock appart and cambium contact is broken completely. Eventually the wrap stops stretching and the soft center cores of the scion and rootstock fuse together. In the picture below I show an example of this. I used clear fruit tree grafting tape, which is designed to stretch on purpose to avoid girdling of the graft. As you you see the scion was pushed away from the rootstock by more than 3/16". I eventually put a cable tie on it to keep it from stretching any more.
To prevent this from happening I use a thick green tape that does not strech much. I use duct tape to secure the end and two cable ties for safety (picture below). Luc at FC uses a similar green tape but puts a rubber band over the green tape. The rubber band (special elastomer for grafting), is design to disintagrate in a few weeks. He does this so he does not have to go around to remove all the tapes.
This is what typical grafts look like. Note how the cambium line is completely healed and filled with callus all the way around. There are no gaps in good graft unions.
These are some grafts from Florida Colors, when I received the plants. Luc's tape stretches a little like mine and creates a small scar. As you can see, typically Luc does a pretty good job grafting plumerias.
After I remove the green tape, the gap between the scion and the rootstock continues to become bigger. I have tried to put cable ties to hold the scar from getting bigger. It helps some but the ends deform and grow out (not very pretty). That growing callus just exterts a huge force.
I developed a new technique that gets around this problem and makes pretty grafts with very small scar every time, as the picture below shows (two weeks after grafting). Note how the cambium line is completely healed all the way to the bark in just two weeks!
Now your plant broke the cambium line contact and the swelling soft white center of the scion pushed the rootstock away and broke the cambium line contact. So the grafting has taken but it is healing slowing from the center out. It will take a while to fill the gap. When this happens, it is possible to leave a gap somewhere in the graft. I would take a thin flat metal piece and go around the graft and measure the depth of the open area, to see if there are any open areas, especially at the top of the graft (generally heals last in this type of graft). The rubber band that is on the graft is not the original rubber band they used in grafting. It is a new one (much thicker and stronger than used normally for grafting) and it is used to hold the graft union together until it heals fully. Do not remove it. The rubber band stretches and the scar will become bigger. If it was me I would put two cable ties on the ends of the graft cut to secure the graft union.
Now, what are the prospects for this graft? It is bad? The next picture shows a one year old graft with a large scar. It looks fully healed from the outside.
The next picture shows a cut-away view of this graft. The top tip is still open, it has not fully healed. However, the bottom part has completely healed and new wood has formed over the scion and rootstock original woods and has connected the two. The cuts have line up with solid wood and the bottom half of the cuts have fuse together. The bottom line is that it takes time to heal but when it does the graft union will be the storgest part of the plant (it will be solid wood).
Here is a more extreme example of a really large graft scar. The angle was too large and the scar kept on growing. On the surface it looks weak. It looks like one can break it appart easily.
The next picture shows the cut-away view of this graft union.The cut is fused together with solid wood. The scion and the rootstock are connected around the perimeter with solid wood. This graft union is the strongest piece on the whole plant! It cannot be broken appart.
The bottom line is that your plant will be fine. Eventually it will make a very strong connection. However, it will take time. The fact that the plant is growing leafs shows the graft has taken. Now, do not get me wrong. I would prefer a plant with a "normal" graft that has healed at the cambium line first rather than this one that has fused at the soft white centers because the graft union heals quicker and makes a much stronger union much faster.
I hope I have answered all your questions. Good luck Robert.
I have a question, why do people like to graft plumeria, is there a special reason?
For me the cut tops do not do so great but do put out sprouts which so far I have been able to remove for new plants either to share or to start a new plant without any problems.
I am still developing and evaluating the new technique including long term effects in comparison to the standard method. When I am done I am going to publish it in the PSA newsletter. The key is to cause the scion and rootstock to fuse at the cambium line before a callus develops in the center and pushes the two appart. Here is a graft that was broken off accidently (I hit it with the ladder's end). Note that the graft did not open up. It broke below the graft and there is a piece of the rootstock attached to it The graft line is the faint brownish line that runs from the bottom brown spot to the top at 30 degrees. Note that there is no callus between the scion and rootstock but the two are fused together! This type of graft makes a hairline graft scar and by far the strogest bond in the shortest time. I do not use cable ties with this technique.
Wally, grafting is a great technique that can be used in many instances. Some varieties are impossible to root, like Bill Moragne (only available grafted). A lot of varieties (a lot of the reds, Katie Moragne, Hilo Beauty. Pink Wave Rage, etc.) are very difficult to root and it is best to graft them. I do not graft all my trees, just the difficult ones. Most people are scared of grafts because they appear weak. There is nothing farther from the truth. Grafts, when fully healed, are the srongest pieces on the whole plant. A lot of people object to the graft scar as not aestetically nice. You can burry the graft union below the soil with no problems.
Another use of grafting is called 'downgrafting'. Plumerias grow leggy and tall and do not look vey good in pots. They also get blown down by wind easily. There are two ways to make more compact plants: a) root a multi-tip cutting from the top of a tree, and b) use 'downgrafting' to make a compact plant. The picture below shows a multi-tip top cutting. You can use iron fence post to pull the branches to train them to make a nice canopy.
However, most people do not have access to large multi-tip cuttings (very expensive and expensive to ship). So you start with normal multi-tip cuttings, like in the next two pictures. The problem is they grow leggy by the time they first bloom and split or the branches are bent from the mother tree.
You can reshape these plants by downgrafting. It is a technique where you remove a middle section of the branch and graft the tip back on. You can also use tips from other plants. This also allows you to orient the tips to get a nice shape plant. Here is a plant whose two out of the three branches were downgrafted. It makes a more compact plant with a nice shape.
Here is another plant where all three branches where downgrafted.
Another use of grafting is to make rainbow plants. You can graft multiple varieties on a single plant. You can pick the varieties so they all bloom together and you have many different colors on the same plant. You can also pick the varieties so they bloom at different times, in which case the plant becomes everblooming and blooms all year. No more plumerias that just have leafs most of the time. Here is an ever blooming plant with multiple tips of four different varieties.
As you can see you can use grafting to do some neat things. It is a great technique.

Academy of Fine Arts, Alicja Saar, Berlin, berlin fashion week, camra moda canon, herzlich willkommen, Małgorzata Wójcicka, milan, poland, Warsaw
Berlin Fashion Week like always brings us the freshest must see designers. This years The Gallery's Favorite are, Herzlich Willkommen from Poland!
Herzlich Willkommen is fashion label created by Alicja Saar and Małgorzata Wójcicka, graduates of Faculty of Design at Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź. Established in Warsaw, Poland 2011.
Brand emphasize casual but unique clothing. It presents unconventional approach to fabrics and materials. Comfort and sensibility are the points, supported by prints used in pawky way.
These cooperation is a result of similar visions and passions. There is no over-interpretation. Creators are looking for simple forms, in discreet way referring to sportswear. They're trying to achieve perfect mix of street-wear and elegance. Searching for modern beauty and individuality, designers use printed fabrics of their own design.
Range of used colors has been minimized to pure, strong and optimistic ones. White is a dominant but it's supplemented with black, metallic graphite and grey mélange. The strong accent is an orange color, which is used in its fluorescent, rich shade.
There was no way to pass over prints, which are the hallmark of brand. Check, which is a strong trend of current season , is treated in a surprising and humorous way. Geometric mesh is fuzzy and discolored, as it was soaked in bleach.
Collection has sporty and summer nature. An important part of the assortment are swimsuits. After that, there are typical clothing forms for this season such as t-shirts, shorts, lightweight coats and skimpy dresses as well as casual accessories e.g. backpacks, lightweight bags and funny bumbags made of PVC foil.
As the designer herself said:
"Concept behind their collection:
Leading theme of this collection is transparency.
The game is played between degrees of transparency. Once a transparent fabric show the divisions created by the form of clothes, another time it gently overshadows contrasting materials to slightly dim the colors. It unveil the body in a sensual way, adding the sensitive nature to sport garments. The laboratory, translucent nylon mixed with transparent nets and chiffon have dominated the collection. These are ethereal and lightweight nature fabrics.
All of used materials are industrial and slightly futuristic. Soft knitwear fills up collection with warm and cosy accents. stay tuned leute ;)

Dear Fashionistas,
As part of my Berlin Fashion Week Diary, today's section will introduce London Based NAVADA by Natalia Zawada.
the first glance that took my heart away, was at BFW's The Gallery exhibition.
The Fillper Jacket was hard to miss! progressive design mixed with well tailored cuts This Jacket is warddrobe must have!
It lured me to NAVADA's exhibition stand as I sweep through some of the collection.
There, I had a nice talk with the designer herself! With her inspiring attitude, Natalia talks about what is more to come.
She explains furthermore, about what NAVADA is.
"Tailored, Progressive, Offbeat

Navada is being developed as a progressive brand, producing fun and innovative yet sustainable, limited-issue designs. In addition to supporting local businesses with the majority of production being carried out in Poland, to ensure high quality products and promote a Polish trade on both the local and international fashion scenes."
Intrigued, I attend her evening runway show. Nothing to regret for sure!
NAVADA puts the "S" in surprise! A wonderful collection sweeps around, as I sat with the audience, enjoying NAVADA's modern cuts and interesting mix of new material.
I constantly hunt for designers with a fresh taste. NAVADA does it all for me.
It sums up a modern women's needs.
I know for sure I will always have more free space of a NAVADA tailored piece. A little bit about the designer:

Ciao fashion people!
Its been quite sometime since I've written you. Today's article welcomes a new audience with a little tribute to our dear Male friends!
My fabulously and eternally stylish friend C.O. always impresses me with his trendy, sharp and neat look! I could not help my self but put him under Lea B's Canon Camera Lens <3
A variety of outfits highlight all what we need to know about his Style ID.
Like all You like but GeekChic is my personal Tic! If there's anyone who can pull this look off, its definitely him! The effortless simplicity, can turn the look form Geek chic to Sport Chic. Its no magic trick ladies and gents, nothing but a simple change of shades and one button down and there you have it! Eclecticism by different means! I love how this outfit molds three different styles together! 60's skinny jeans, raw American Jeans and Nordic Moccasins merge into this milky strawberry cream look!
Another Late 70's Rock n' Roll look confirms my theory about how C.O. is a style to tell! dipped in Zara from head to toe, wouldn't that be a must have look?!!Clothes by: Zara, Topman

When someone comes to your house, and they haven't done anything disrespectful, should you overtly disrespect them by running a background check and taking photos of them? I don't think so, Gestapo Agent GuestX. I would guess you would have been perfectly comfortable in the late 1930's in Germany. That's what the Germans were doing (except for the new high tech gadgets, which make it even more invasive, that is).

Latest garden creations....quite the variety
Haven't created the Damsel Fly yet, but we're on the hunt for parts. DH has really been bitten by the creativity bug...no pun intended! Here are his latest creations.
First, meet shovel fish....a clown fish of sorts.
Next, we borrowed Robert's snail idea to create one of our own. Used a blade from a harrow (farm implement), two light globes and some cabinet knobs for eyes. DH created the leaf from a carbide saw blade.
Next is Rocky the turtle. He is made from a floor drain, railroad spikes and various other parts. DH decided to go for the whimsical look and even gave him tennis shoes....hoping to speed him up a little.
And lastly, Hector the mosquito has been on the forum before, but DH gave him a facelift.
How could I not love a PURPLE fish!! LOL. Its great, and so is the snail.
The turtle had me laughing with his tennis shoes.
The mosquito is a bit too realistic ;o) so I wouldn't want to run into him. Literally! LOL.
Your DH needs to have a DH Training Class, I know at least one who should take it!!
hugs, Karen
Those are great, really like the turtle with his sneakers and the mosquito. I have a pair of size 13 running shoes and parts for a roadrunner sitting on my welding table that I'd like to get to soon.
I also have a long list of honey do's taped to refrigerator by my DW. She's a tall Irish lass that gives DH training classes and I have a low threshold for pain. The roadrunner will have to wait awhile longer.

Three big events to return to region in 2013
Staff Report
Three big sporting events have committed to return to the Rockford region in 2013: soccer's Puma Cup, Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) state cup tournaments and BMX Midwest Nationals.
Jointly, these events will generate an estimated $3 million for the local economy.
Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) President and CEO John Groh said: "We recognize these event organizers have other options, and some communities will provide them with newer facilities and fields. That's why RACVB and its industry partners strive to exceed expectations when it comes to customer service. We are committed to ensuring the success of these events and rolling out the red carpet for their participants and their fans. We want to guarantee they continue to choose the Rockford region as their host community, and we maintain our long-standing relationships with these event organizers."
Puma Cup
Puma Cup, hosted by the Rockford Raptors, has agreed to return to the region for the 11th consecutive year and cites the customer service provided by RACVB and its partners as one of the primary reasons.
Tournament organizer Frank Matheus said: "The RACVB does a great job working hand-in-hand with the Rockford Raptors to ensure our tournaments remain some of the best in the Midwest. We are also fortunate to have the Rockford Park District and their staff to provide us with some of the best soccer fields in the Midwest."
The Puma College Showcase for boys and girls U13-19 takes place April 5-7. The Puma Champions Cup for youth U8-14 takes place April 12-14. The two weekends combined will fill more than 6,400 hotel room nights and generate an estimated $1.2 million for the local economy.
Illinois Youth Soccer Association
The Illinois Youth Soccer Association (IYSA) has booked six state cup tournaments for May and June 2013.
IYSA has been bringing soccer tournaments to the Rockford region since the early 1990s. The boys and girls youth tournaments will fill a total of 7,800 hotel room nights and generate an estimated $1.4 million for the local economy.
The tournaments will take place on the following dates in 2013: May 4-5, May 11-12, May 18-19, June 1-2, June 8-9 and June 15-16.
BMX Midwest Nationals
More than 1,000 professional and amateur racers will compete for national rankings on one of the best bicycle motocross tracks in the country when Rockford BMX hosts the 2013 American Bicycle Association (ABA) Midwest Nationals June 20-23, 2013. This event has been returning to the Rockford region's Searls Park BMX track for more than 25 years.
The ABA Midwest Nationals brings approximately 6,000 racers and fans to the region. They fill approximately 1,970 hotel room nights and generate an estimated $354,420 for area restaurants and businesses. AA pros from all over the world attend.

Need HELP on 5th grade project
My son has a "passion project" that he has to complete this year. He wants to do it on License Plates. Is there any outlet that license plates from each state can be bought? Once again, I'm flustered at the start of the school year. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
There is a website that shows all 50 license plates, you click on a state (then they have designs from different years), and you type your name and they show you the license plate with your name on it. He could print them off and make a display. I don't know the name of it though.
I have been collecting them for years. They can be really expensive, and then shipping is expensive as well. I second the idea of printing off examples of each state, unless you have a LOT of money to spend (At east 200 bucks, I would guess, plus shipping, and they are quite heavy and would be hard to lug into school for that reason as well), or can scrounge up 50 of your home state's plates and offer them for trade somehow (still shipping costs would be high, times 49) with kids in other areas. just a thought. But it's not like the old days when each state had one main kind of plate, one usual set of colors, etc. There are SO many variations for each state, it is amazing. Maybe a study of what color combos are the most popular and why.... Hmmmm. We have used them to make borders around the top, middle, and soon we will do the bottom of my sons' room. It is very cool looking. We are waiting until our youngest is older to do the bottom. Some are sharp, all are heavy. They are not baby-friendly so we have to keep them out of reach. Maybe your son could study the evolution of the license plate or something.... If you are determined to get one from every state in a hurry, your cheapest option would be to buy them all at once from some old collector, but you would still be talking a lot of $$ and I am not sure that that would be very educational, versus buying them or finding them one at a time, on trips and such.

Superb photography coupled with Geddes-Brown's knowledgeable writing make for a dynamite combination in this visually stunning tour of some of the world's most beautiful gardens. Distinctive water features is the unifying theme of the many diverse gardens showcased here. After a brief history of ancient eastern gardens and their influence on contemporary designs, the focus moves to existing oriental gardens including Kyoto, Japan's Tenryu-ji originally planted in 1339 and West Lake in Hangzhou, China. Persian influences with their straight lines, gently bubbling fountains and strong color usage abound in the chapter on Islamic Gardens as shown by the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh, Morocco. Of particular interest are the insights into the Dillon Garden in Dublin, Ireland overseen by Helen Dillon. Tired of the "glumly staring" lawn, Mrs. Dillon made what to many, was a shocking decision to rip up the turf, replacing it with a formal canal surrounded by a riot of colorful, often rare plants. It is a real gem and a living testimonial to Mrs. Dillon's skill and vision. Twenty-first century designers include Steve Martino with his austere materials usage as seen in the Stiteler Garden and the carefully sculpted landscapes of Charles Jencks' Garden of Cosmic Speculation which plays with fractals.
Whether your taste is for the elaborate fountains of formal gardens, the grand scope of landscape gardens or the refined elegance of Charlotte Rowe's small town garden, there are plenty of ideas and eye-candy presented in this collection to keep busy plotting and planning your perfect garden for years to come. This beautifully produced volume will be savored by anyone with an interest in or a love for gardens and water's soothing influence.
