This is the 260.5 Clements Grafted Trunk. The 801 dmg uow Young '13 Rootstock has split abit but in all it is doing quite well and it is ingulfing the watermelon scion as it grows. To me that is good because the oposite growth would mean detachment and you don't want that. A week ago I put sulfer on the trunk/graft area and it really seems to help in the growth/healing process with the stress of the graft. It looks rotted on top but thats where I burnt it with ferts two weeks ago. The two small holes were roots. You can also see that there are roots coming out of the side of the trunk. Huge root system on this plant. Even the tap roots on the young vines are starting to appear very early..I hope that good too. All this may verywell be normal for a melon plant..I just don't have enough experience to know. Just lots of fun watching it grow so good.
