Yea! Success. I tried to order more Zin grafted on SO4 from Novavine this year but they were out. It seems that the Covid-19 supply chain issues still exist. So, I had to make my own vines. I bought an omega grafter from Amazon and used cuttings from my existing Zinfandel. I was able to get SO4 bare root from Novavine without a problem. Well, they asked me twice if I was certain I only wanted SO4, LOL. As it turns out about 25% of the vines I received were from failed grafts of other varieties. That's recycling. So far the scions look like they are healing and buds are pushing on most of the vines. This is from grafting only 3 weeks ago.

I've been tempted to order some rootstock vines from Double A to do my own grafting from cuttings. I mostly want to do it just for the sake of doing it and possibly to sell some grafted vines locally.
