One of my biggest cares is keeping those new grafted trees alive, most will start to wake up in our hot box grafting system so I try and keep them as close to dormant or held back wherever possible. We get callusing at 12-14 days so once done I get them out and into here.
I don’t want to be heating a greenhouse to keep them alive so I use a mini tunnel in a tunnel, so far extra heating is not required but if it goes to -5C that may change!
I don’t do that many, with some done by another friend I may never have more than 150 to care for at any one time, almost all are of unusual/rare cultivars or species that I’ve sought out for a specific reason so loosing them is very frustrating.
