Gigantea Goumi and Wang Bo Goumi graft grow journal 2025

Today we grafted 4 Wang Bo Goumi and 2 Gigantea Goumi on Autumn Olive rootstocks. We dug up the Autumn Olive rootstocks last April potted them an let grow all last summer.
We did cleft grafts wrapped in parafilm then splicing tape over the parafilm. I wrapped the scion with only parafilm.
Im disabled with no finger function so my mom does all the grafting I just talk her through how to do it.

I'm going to keep this thread updated with their progress.

The Wang Bo scions are from nuttrees.net
Wang Bo is supposed to be larger than Carmine an almost as big as Gigantea

The Gigantea scion is from a private collector and I can't disclose their information.
Gigantea is supposed to be the largest Goumi variety

I had not heard of these Goumi varieties until your post so hopefully they take and grow well for you. I remember we both ordered Tillamook a couple years back around the same time and mine has produced good sized fruit how has yours done?

Yep I thought you had ordered one when I did. Mine is doing good and producing good. Last season I tested how long to let them hang after turning red. At 10 days they had no astringency and were delicious and sweet
 
They are really tough plants easy to grow. Unripe they are astringent but if you let them hang for 10 days after turning red they are sweet taste like high high c drink with no astringency
I went down a Goumi rabbit hole and purchased several varieties this year. I bought Sunrise Ruby from Burnt Ridge, and grafted Catharine’s Find, Pippa, and Large Carmine onto eleagnus rootstock. Hoping my grafts take.
Good luck with yours. I look forward to hearing how yours taste and whether the different varieties taste different

Awesome I'm really interested in the size of those varieties you grafted
