G'day
I went to bunnings yesterday for a look and seen some portable greenhouses on sale, they were reduced from $48 to $30. 6 foot tall with 4 shelves.
I have a couple of Mikuwa JBP's, JBP's, JRP's and Scots pines all in little 6 inch orchid pots.
They are all about 4-6 inches tall. Would it benefit them putting them in the greenhouses now ?
When would be a good time to graft these pines? Could I do it now ?
I'm also very keen on learning to propagate from cuttings, i'll be taking cuttings of everything and seeing how I go.

Re: bought a greenhouse yesterday
In Sydney, I take cuttings Year round as i have a sheletered sunny spot for them, In Geelong you might be struggling in Winter.
I have never grafted pines, but woud think Spring is the go so they are ready to grow when you do them rather than sit over winter
