During the first three or four seasons after grafting, the rapidly growing grafts may face micro-nutrient mineral deficiencies. In Washington, the most common problems are Boron and Zinc deficiency. It seems the trees grow so vigorously that they outstrip the ability of the tree to deliver these nutrients at the higher than normal levels needed by a mature or newly planted tree. Take care to supply these nutrients through foliar application. Light rates are sufficient, but applications need to be more frequent than necessary under normal orchard growing conditions.
