Thank You all for sharing your T and Chip budding experience in this thread along with references.
I always believed that I kept missing the grafting window in early spring, and just let it go.
This discussion was key in making me want to try at least one of these methods as soon as I get a chance.

In general Spring is the best time to graft. I have good results with cleft grafts in Spring but haven't tried them later. A cleft graft is one of the easiest grafting techniques, but the grafting union takes longer to heal than in other techniques. Therefore Spring is probably the best time. The tree still has several months to heal before Winter comes.
