What to do with this graft; cut it or leave it alone?

This graft is of a Murashige Avocado a friend send me the bud wood from Hawaii. I grafted it in December 30 2011 it is now February 23 2012 to it is now over 50 days old. The graft has been like you see it in the pictures for weeks. About 15 days ago I removed the tape and the graft was totally fused, green, hard and alive, but no sign of growing. I have had grafts like this that die. I really want to save this so I could grow that variety.

My question is: Should I cut the root stock a couple of inches above the bud wood to force to grow or would you leave it like this and wait?

The site looks Fantastic!!!
Very instructive and the art work is commendable.
To me it looks that it is going to become a great place for information on Avocados and plant propagation. I congratulate you on this endeavor

Great website blog!!!! I would leave the long stem when grafting
it can keep the graft going to a certain point and act like a support
structure.

It is already fused. Some of the dormancy is the original stem's need to grow so it's pulling the resources for new stem. I would cut it. It need all the energy it can get.

Don't cut the mother plant. When the scion begins to develop leaves you could bend the mother plant gently and keep it tied in place bent. That little scion needs its mama. Good work on the graft and this site. Looking forward to visiting it often.

PS
Many people use a cleft graft and of course all you have is a scion onto the mothers rootstock. People often use the method that seems to work best for them. I still know some old timers using approach grafting.
