  1. a 3 week old root stock;
  2. b Scion size approximately 1.5-2.0 cm
  3. c Graft survival measured as new leaves formed within 3 weeks of grafting
  4. d Each treatment has 16 scions with 3 replications. Means were compared using the Multiple Pair wise Comparison Procedure (Holm-Sidak method) and found to be not significantly different.
