Rules
The third scion finally established itself and put out leaves, but not before the first two were well ahead of it. I may need to prune back the other two a bit in the winter to give the late one a chance. Something also ate a lot of the leaves off of the scions not long after they were established, but they seem to have recovered.
Balancing multiple grafts is tricky! You definitely want to prune back the dominant ones this winter, but you can also pinch the tips of the stronger scions now to slow them down and give the weaker one a chance to catch up. For the pest issue, try wrapping some light fabric around new grafts next time - keeps the bugs off but lets light thru.
Nice, thank you! Great tips! I'll try pinching off the dominant ones now. The bug issue seems to be under control.
I hope it makes it. Good luck
