Part of trying to figure out a good way forward is to figure out what exactly is happening. While Jake and Todd have experienced clear liquids coming from their crowns at times it is hard to understand why. There is a good chance that the additional root structure of the graft does increase pressure on the vine. I am hoping that this intended benefit is not the cause of the failures. This picture is looking at a cross section of the rootstock. The hole is the result of the watermelon being inserted. Not ideal in my opinion. The single cotyledon method of grafting would eliminate this and most likely have better vascular allignment.
