As a general rule, the stock should be five years old or younger. It must also produce vigorous growth and show no signs of disease. The "stock" is the tree you're grafting onto. Most apple and pear trees can be grafted at any age, but the process is notably more difficult after the trees reach 10 years of age. For trees up to the age of five, you can graft all of the branches at once. For older trees, only graft the upper half and center of the tree the first year. The rest of the tree can be grafted the following year. Even though the scion and stock will be different trees, they should be as closely related as possible to encourage better success. Typically, varieties and cultivars of a single fruit species can be grafted together. Plants of the same genus and species are usually able to be grafted together even if the fruit is different, but your odds of success are significantly lower. Fruit trees that are in completely different families cannot be grafted together. The best time to graft is when the buds of the stock tree just begin to open. Do not graft after the stock has blossomed. In most regions, the ideal time to graft is in April or early May. Keep at least 1 to 2 feet (30.5 to 61 cm) of branch in between the trunk and the graft, especially when working with young trees. If you do not keep enough space in between the trunk and graft, the trunk can grow past the grafted union, and the connection between the branch and stock will not form correctly.

If you have long hair, pull all of your hair away from your face and secure it with a hair tie. If you have bangs, you may need a headband to hold them back away from your face as well. After you've opened your pores, gently wash your face with your usual facial cleanser. You don't need to scrub hard, you just want to have a nice clean face to exfoliate. Wash off all the exfoliating paste with warm, not hot, water. Then splash your face with cold water to close your pores. Make sure you've removed all of the scrub, otherwise your face will be sticky or grainy from the leftover scrub. If you have oily, tough skin, you may be able to exfoliate daily without any problem. On the other hand, those with sensitive or dry skin should limit at-home exfoliating to 1-2 times per week. If your skin becomes red or irritated, cut back on how much you're exfoliating and consult your doctor.
