Looking to hear experiences with grafting Cryptomeria. There’s not a ton of info out there but just got a decent cutting off of ‘Cristata’ and want to graft to what I think is ‘black dragon’ I’ve had laying around. This is less of a bonsai project and more for a cool plant to the collection, so sorry to go off topic but this place can be a wealth of information. Depending on what age wood I can use I may only have one scion and opportunity.

Two things I’m mostly concerned about:

Age of Scionwood. I’d like to use the younger growth that is a bit greener. Can I just remove the small “thorns”?

Timing. It’s a cold winter in NY, I always hear mixed things on timing with conifer grafts.

Was planning to do a side veneer graft but open to other types!
