Best tutorial I have seen. Content is excellent
Very good presentation and history lesson. I love this fruit very much .... Very tasty. The reminder to viewers about their part in climate changes and the negative consequences it can have on us was the icing on the cake. Good job sir.
What does it taste like?
I can't really relate the taste of abiu to another fruit .... All I can say is that it has a smooth vanilla like taste .... Not very sweet.
@@faybrown5616 alright 👍

Very informative video
Very informative video
Very Informative video
Thanks; I have not tried grafting so young a seedling. But it makes good horticultural sense.
Please try it, it will save you a lot of time.
Crudos to you Sir for this very in depth video. Thank you for putting all those components together. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much
Excellent video with lots of useful information. Many people learning to graft fail to realise that properly mating the scion to rootstock is part of the process. As you point out, major parts of the ptocess are propper preparation and post graft care. A quick question for you Mr. Raymond. I often graft avocados and mangoes with suboptimal scions (scions with buds that have not emerged), and wrap with plastic strips to retain the moisture. After four weeks, is it generally safe to remove the plcastic covering the scion?
How could I get dragon fruit cuttings?
Can i get some cuttings from you?

Hi,How are you. I not on WhatsApp at the moment . Have phone issues,trying to solve the problem. I am fine. Hope you are too friend.
Excellent Educator 💚💯
👍🏾👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏽
Nice video 🙏🏾 I grafted over 300 seedlings so far this year with my cultivar of bottle neck which I think is superior to every other pear… I normally buy the seedlings from C.A.S.E nursery in port Antonio, so I don’t normally have the luxury of grafting on to such young seedlings. But after this upcoming pear season I will propagate my own seeds so I Will definitely try your method!!! Very informative video will definitely be subscribing 🫶🏽
Hi Tariek, I am happy to hear that you like this method. It is a very fast and efficient method to produce grafted seedling. I am working on other new methods which I will publish, as soon as I have all the details.
