I'm a beginner to the art of grafting, pruning and managing fruit trees. I've spent countless hours researching this topic ( I just enjoy gardening and growing my own food) and your videos are far and away the best source of information available. I want to express my gratitude to you. I watch your videos for the expertise provided, but also just purely for entertainment value! Thanks man, you get me through cold winter nights and give me confidence to have a crack at this for myself
You are welcome, Paul. I'm glad you find my videos useful and that they give you reasons to try these procedures for yourself. They are a lot of fun, give us the power to change our trees to our liking and are truly rewarding (when the first grafts take or when we eat the first fruits from them, for instance).
@@JSacadura I made my first attempts today, tried the chip-bud method with some avocados... you really make it look easy mate, the precision of your cuts down to just wrapping on the para-film... well, the band aids on my fingers are proof enough that this is something that takes time to perfect ( not to mention my clumsy cuts on the avocados ) hahha, but that was expected... I have plans to try with some plums and apples... I've already cut the scion wood ( dormant ) and whilst I'm eager for the next step, if I've understood you correctly, I should wait until the root stock is showing signs of growth right?... I don't mean to bother you with questions you've already answered, just getting the timing right is the one thing I'm a bit uncertain on
I 💜 how he pauses each step. He speaks w his hands and understands what we need to see. The music seems to tell me its ok to try this at home
you prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the login password. I love any tips you can give me.

Best crafting teacher on net!
Mr. Sacadura, I just want to let you know I have now used several of the grafts you demonstrate to graft pears, at least one apple, one cherimoya and a few experiments. I was able to select the best graft for each situation: Whip and tongue, modified cleft graft, side graft/modified whip and tongue, and bark grafts. I have had success with each of these, learned mostly from your videos.
Seeing you perform the grafting techniques many times gives me the confidence to try and master it myself. Keep them coming. Onward to trial and error. 🙂
TYVM.
Thank I’ve made my first two successful grafts thanks to your guidance🙏🏼
I've never grafted before, but I have two espalier trees, and apple and a pear. The pear needs a lot of work. Thanks for your very good instructional material. I got the last of my equipment today. I feel equipped to make a good, informed effort.
Such a skilled individual with lots of talent and experience learned to do his craft. Excellent video!
Nice work my friend 👍
Thanks for your support 👍
Haha, released on my birthday, thats awesome. Great video!
Very interesting and good to learn from your experience and information thanks you very much . !!!!
Nice work video. I'm attempting to graft some eating apple to a crab apple tree. Thank you so much.
Very nicely explained thank you
Thanks very informative as usual. This year apple and pears graft seems to have worked well for me, using mostly whip and tongue. One difference is that I wrap first with parafilm and then put a rubber outside to guarantee contact. The good point is that rubber starts to degrade within a couple of months due to direct sunlight so I don't even need to cut or remove it , it becomes weak so don't strangle the graft once its role is not needed :-)
Hi, Daniel. If rubber strips were easily available over here i would use them more. As they are not, I started to use natural raffia a few years ago (as the traditional grafters did, over here) and I got very confortable using it (it has great versatility on the amount of pressure you can apply - rubber is a bit more limited in that department - and you can correct easily some minor cutting mistakes or force a very good contact between larger diameter scions with it), so i tend to use it more. You do have to make a cut in the raffia, on younger branches, after a couple of months (or even less, with vigorous varieties) or you risk strangling the graft area.
@@JSacadura I use thick rubber bands from Amazon, and yes wet rafia is more natural, more versatile too, I used it a couple of time when trying tiny graft where my rubbers would have been too large :-)
:-) That's one of the things i like with raffia - being able to go around some lower buds, preserving them. Most times i receive some precious, very small cuttings of some new variety, with only 2-3 buds. I try to preserve them all, when doing the bevel cut. In that situation, I wouldn't dream of covering the lower bud with tape or rubber. And, in some cases, the cutting was in such bad shape that it dried out from the top and the only bud that survived and grew was that last one, I preserved.
Well usually growing buds manage to get through the rubber, but now you have to guess if it's rootstock ones to remove or your graft ones to cautiously preserve :-) this life is full of choices !
Daniel I started using bands last year and have produced much better quality trees I would not graft without now.
Very good result godbless
I'm from India very nice information thanks
Merci beaucoup pour ces précieuses explications .
Beautifully done and beautiful music! Love it, thanks.
We do grafting in۔ a different way here in Kashmir but ur technique is better nd would like to do the same from now.
I watch and enjoy the skill. I tried and I liked this vaccination. I read that this method is the most effective for all seasons👍🤝
Just one word, "Amazing!"
Thanks. Filming clearly is not always compatible with executing right and the video has some things i would do differently, now that i see the end result. When trying to show something, is not always good to worry more about allowing a good view, in detriment of executing the cuts right (like the one on the rootstock in the first example). But, some of the other ones are not too bad (but not as good as when i am not filming them :-).
@@JSacadura Still the end result is pretty dam good. Living and learning, with time you will figure it out a way to keep improving the quality of your creations, but setting the bar high, it will be hard for you because, this is already is close to perfection haha
Fantastic and professional done. Thanks
Thanks for the comment.
Gracias maestro por tu sabiduria bendiciones
Great man Excellent video.Easy explanation and easy to perform. Thanks for share your knowledge guys.
Sempre um prazer ver seus enxertos, obrigado pelos vídeos.
Always a pleasure to see your grafts, thanks for the videos.
Another excellent video.
Excellent video from the novice to the very experienced. What's amazing is your dexterity and not getting any cuts or injuries to your fingers.Maybe my grafting knife is just way too sharp. Thanks for this excellent tutorial.
Thank you so much I learned a lot of things from your video
Hey! With your help I was able to successfully graft a half dozen or so scions onto my trees this spring. I'm wondering tho, when should I remove the tape and sealant??
Also, any idea if you can graft an edible grape vine ontop an existing wild grapevine?!
Wow so professional. Perfect fit, The best grafting channel ever! Thx you for sharing your talent. Since modified cleft grafting is the easiest one and guarantee 100% success, Why need to do whip and Tongue? I live in AZ state at 120 degree heat in may through August month, is it too late to graft citrus? If it is all year around, how long does it take to see result in this hot state?. Do you have to remove the tape after see few shoots. Can I just leave it alone bc I'm worry about the monsoon season knock those grafting.
amazing method
These are wonderful videos
seem from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵👌👏
This guy handles and knife like a ninja🧐
Olá! My next project thanks to your videos. I have a dying mandarin tree and a healthy grapefruit tree. I just found out that you can graft between different citrus so I will be taking scions and hopefully getting them grafted onto the grapefruit (which I'm not a big fan of) so I'll have one multi-citrus tree and then I can try something else where the mandarin was once it dies. Very excited!
That's an interesting project. Good luck with it.
That is absolutely masterful work! Thank you for the video, I'll be using your techniques in my own pear orchard soon!
Thanks and good luck with your grafts.
@@JSacadura Hii,
i don't understand why need to store scion wood for spring grafting, why not just get the scion wood from the dormant breaking tree and graft it on ?
i saw many ppl who keep the scion wood in the fridge waiting for spring .. can explain ?
thx
andrew
People rarely graft varieties they already have. So, they tend to exchange scions with other farmers. The scions are cut during dormancy and sent by mail. Then stored in the fridge, wrapped in kitchen film, waiting the rootstocks to break dormancy. Also, if you are grafting a variety that breaks dormancy ahead of the rootstock, the graft will most likely fail, as the rootstock is not moving sap yet and the scion is already awake. That's the main reason to store it in cold temperatures.
Very nice

Thank you very much for sharing very informative video
You can’t stop learning super techniques hope I can have same results 🇬🇧👍
Best way to get stitches
Not really, if you know what you are doing. Its only a question of control and experience. Check my video on "How to do safer cuts" to know more - ua-cam.com/video/-AsaxoqzU88/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. It is very informative. It is clear you have mastered the art.
Thanks for the comment and support. I don't know about 'mastering' but after doing several hundred grafts its inevitable that one starts to known your way around a grafting knife ;-)
@@JSacadura I have an old crab apple tree in my yard that I'm going to be cutting down. Should I look into grafting some good apple branches onto the old trunk or would that be pointless for some reason? It must be healthy resistant roots as it has been there for decades.
Do you wet your raffia? Your videos are wonderful and I have watched them many times. I have had good success in my home orchard. Thank you so much!
Great video. A novice here. One question. If you cover the graft completely with plastic wrap, won’t the buds not be able to get through as they grow? I don’t know what to do after wrapping the entire graft. How long do you wait to remove so the buds can grow.
If you cover them with plastic wrap you will have to remove it, roughly 18-21 days after, so the buds can start growing. I am using Parafilm (a wax based pruning tape). The buds have no problem breaking through this material, so don't have to remove it.
Truly faciating
@JSacadura I know I have told you before but I really do love your videos. They are such a great resource for us newbies to grafting. At the end of February I went to our local chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers Association annual scion exchange and got a bunch of fruit tree and fig cuttings and several rootstocks and so far almost all of my grafts seem to be taking and figs are rooting. All using techniques I learned from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing these valuable skills with us!
I'm glad my methods are working for you, Jared. I remember when I started and was trying to figure things out by trial and error. It would have been nice to have a few videos to guide me, then.
@@JSacadura Yes they work great and yes, videos are the best way to learn short of having a tutor in person I think. I don't set video notifications for very many UA-cam channels but I do have them turned on for your channel, thanks again for the great videos.
Sometimes you cut toward you, sometimes away. Why? And what about your knife--single bevel, but which side is bevel on? Do you use both left and right-handed knives? Switch hands? Thanks--very nice videos.
If you have enough muscle memory control there is no problem in cutting towards you. The reason for using different approaches has to do mainly with filming requirements - its not easy to do it comfortably and avoid obstructing the view point to the camera. I'm experienced enough to use a double beveled knife for all pruning jobs. Nevertheless, a single bevel knife is better, in some cases, as it maintains the same level of cut, easier. When chip-budding, for instance. I only use right-handed knifes (single bevel) - placing the blade up (facing you), the bevel is on the right side of the blade.

Morning dear,
Can we use this technique for Apple tree in the summer, on the ,6/7/8th months
Many thanks in advance
Yes, if you protect the graft very well against dehydration and sun burn (with a padded envelope for the first 2-3 weeks, for instance).
Thank you for another great video Jaime, yesterday I did 17 grafts (plum cherry and apricot) on my old peach tree to join three plum grafts I had done on previous years. I wish I had seen this video first as I would have tried out this technique. Maybe I will find something else to graft onto it just because I want to!

Bravo les amis.
Прекрасное видео, большое спасибо!!!
I have been making whip grafts in my own orchard for a few years now. I agree that the best results are achieved when the scion and parent branch are the same diameter. Sometimes the graft will still work when the scion is a smaller diameter that the parent branch. However, the reverse has never worked for me. The scion must never be larger.
EDIT: Just subscribed to your channel.
Sorry, missed your comment the first time around. I know try to avoid using different diameter rootstocks and scions when using whip and tongue. Smaller scion on larger rootstocks work, as you say, but i don't like the results in terms of healing. Thanks for the support.
Is there a better technique to use when both the stock and scion are not dormant? (Want to graft a Pear, have about 3 month before first frost)
Essa técnica não é fácil para mim. Mas um dia vou tentar. Muito boas as dicas. Parabéns.
Olá, Bia. É uma das técnicas mais difíceis de aprender mas vale a pena, para quem se quer dedicar à enxertia. Os pontos de contacto de câmbio são muitos e é uma das que produz os melhores resultados, em termos de percentagem, além de permitir uma soldadura perfeita, firme e duradoura. As primeiras tentativas são difíceis e é preciso algum cuidado, mas com o tempo torna-se mais fácil.
@@JSacadura, eu vou treinar com galhos de podas, pois assim quando o fizer terei mais chances de acertos. Obrigada por compartilhar. Boa noite.
Thank you 🌹
Exelente tu video quisiera saver a que tiempo retiro los plasticos de los injerto
Can you please do some avacado grafts please and tips about when to graft them? I am having trouble getting my grafts to take
Excellent
Can I graft apple to pear, peach or plum? I am an orchard enthusiast but little knowledge about genus grafting. Please kindly advice me.
I'm from Russia, thank you for the video!!!
Hello! our climate changed, the winters have become warm!!!
good idea
Fantastic! Thanks for yours videos. I have a question: is better make graftings in slims or thicks branches?
It depends on the grafting technique and the available scions. That being said grafting younger (slim) branches is usually easier and has higher success percentages.
What is the rate of success from these grafting techniques? Thanks
When should you take off the grafting tape? On my graft it has been a month and buds has not pushed through on all but you can see water inside the grafting tape like its sweating. Should the tape come off?
I don't need to take it off. Its parafilm 8a waxy tape) so the buds have no problem breaking through on their own.
Don't forget that in hot weather you need to protect the grafts with aluminium foil or the parafilm might act as a greenhouse and the graft might die by overheating. In those conditions, I would remove the some of the parafilm...
@@JSacadura When I take the tape off, should I put the foil or just leave it alone?
Which grafting is best for persimmom?? I do whip tongue technique, it give 3% success only.
You can use Whip and Tongue or Modified Cleft Graft. Just be sure that the weather is warm enough and the sap is flowing so the grafts heal properly. Also, be sure to check regularly for any growth below the graft and remove it quickly or it will remove essential nutrients from the graft. Persimmons are a bit tricky with graft follow-up. You have to keep an eye on every bud/branch that is developing and might compete with your grafts and remove them swiftly or the grafts will dry out and fail.
Very nice demonstration!Where can I buy the different kinds of apple zion to be grafted? I'm from the Philippines, and we were be able to grow apples here. I have already several seedlings growing from the seeds. They are now maybe 6-8 inches tall, and I'm very happy in succeeding to grow apples here. In some parts of the Philippines, they had already fruit bearing trees growing. I watched it in utube. And I don't know in my place, that if I planted it in the ground, I will succeed also like them. That's is why, I ask you on what types of soil will I used. Does it grow also in the pots? And how about the proper care in watering and applying fertilisers? Thank you and God bless!
i like apple trees
What can you expect to get from that little twig grafted on? Does it become a branch with dozens of fruit growing from it? or does say, one or two fruit grow from the buds?
The small twigs will grow large. They will turn into normal branches and full sized trees capable of normal production. Some of the best fruit trees I have where started from small thin scions sent by friends (usually from very young trees of interesting and new varieties where scion material is scarce)
Interesantes técnicas de injertar, pero será efectiva para frutales subtropicales como el aguacate y la manga?
Si, también funcionan en aguacate y mangas, pero en estos es más usual el injerto de yema (bud grafting) ya que es más fácil de realizar y de proteger de la deshidratación.
Thanks for the tutorial! My new Rokakaka is about to be lit!!
great video, thanks
I find that the bare-root rootstocks I receive typically have only a few roots on them. To improve anchorage, should you plant the grafted rootstocks deeper than they were originally buried? I know it's important to keep the graft union at least 6-8 inches above the ground, but there is usually extra slack on the rootstock (in addition to the 6-8 inches) and I've heard the union shouldn't be too high either, since it can affect vigour. Don't want to encourage any type of rot by burying the trunk but I gather apples can root adventitiously which may improve anchorage (?) Thank you!
Most bare-root rootstocks can have a very weak root system. When using dwarf types, for instance, the depth won't affect very much the development of the root system. These rootstocks are developed to produce very early and produce good quality fruits. Usually the drawback is that you have to provide these trees some kind of support. The root system alone won't be able to support the tree, in most cases.
Thank you very much for sharing very informative video. Although I have completed my budding work but I have recorded the video and will use the precious information on my next budding adventure.
Спасибо товарищь
How does the wild seedling pear/asian pear graft look these days?
After how many days the plastic wrapperr is to be removed usually counting from the day of wrapping ?
With Parafilm (a wax based wrap) you don't need to remove it (the buds can break through easily).If you use plastic wraps don't cover the buds or remove the plastic after 2 weeks.
Thank you.
Unbelievable technics this is the best I've seen 🇦🇺👌🏼☝🏼️
Ок
Verry good
hi, please tell me, what rope do you tie the joint with?
What is that which you are wrapping around. And after how many days we can open that covering
Parafilm. A wax based tape. There is no need to open it as the buds break it easily when they start to grow.
This year i grafted peaches and nectarines in January but many of them fail in this year winter is hot in malta and many wind and no rain its a bad winter you think that this type of weather fail grafting?
In some years, the weather can lower the grafting success percentage. With hot weather, some grafts might dry out. That's why I use aluminium foil and parafilm in those cases.
last year i planted a pineapple pear tree that is about three years old or more now and was wondering if you can graft other varieties onto it before it has even produced any fruit,, this year I planted a hood pear nearby but it looks like it didnt make it, where do you suggest I purchase a good tree that I dont have so many problems with, the pineapple pear had black rot leaves last year but since I have sprayed it in the winter and spring I havent seen any problems, the tree came from walmart and is doing great now but the blooms just fell off and no sign of any fruit......last year I retired and moved and have an acre to plant some fruit trees, have started a grape vine, and blueberry bushes that are finally doing okay.....didnt realize here in florida that they require lots of water but now have a drip system which I think has helped greatly.....
Hi, Don. Growing fruit trees is a great way of enjoying your retirement. Off course you can graft other varieties on the same tree. But you will have to control the vigor of the established branches, by pruning, to give a chance to the grafted branches so they can grow an achieve the same level of development. Buying fruit trees in supermarkets is not the best. I would search a good nursery, near by, and buy the trees there. Another option is to join a good forum (like Growing Fruit - growingfruit.org/), exchange a few messages with the other users and maybe ask for some cuttings of good varieties to graft on existing trees. Most users are very generous and don't mind sending a few cuttings by mail, when they prune their trees in the winter. Good luck with your fruit trees.
Muchas gracias maestro por su sabiduría infinitas bendiciones
thank you!!!
Instructions are very well done! Can you graft at anytime of year?
Yes, using the right technique, except for winter when the plants are dormant.
Once again, thank you. Are you growing pears there? I'm moving to Philippines in a few years and it doesn't get cold.
Hi, Robert. Yes, I am growing more than 20 different varieties of pears. Most varieties have an high chill requirement and don't produce very well due to lack of cold in my area but they are enough for home consumption. If you move to an area with less cold than I have (300-350 chill hours per year) growing pears is probably not a good idea, although some varieties will produce some fruits with low chill. You can also check Asian Pears, as an alternative.
@@JSacadura thank you, I'm retiring in the Philippines along the coast which is hot and humid. It tropical so i doubt i can but some are growing apples with success. I know you are as well so i figured I'd check in with you. Thanks again and take care of yourself.
I dont even know what grafting is but i suppose youtube wanted me to learn so here i am.
I think its how u make a tree grow apples and pears on the same tree. Hybrid?
I still don't know wtf going on!!😂😂😂
The usual use is to attach a desirable fruit type on a root stock (the bottom base section with the roots). The root stock may be a wild variety or other that has inferior fruit but has other desirable characteristics like it's cold hardy, disease resistant, won't grow too tall, etc..
Grafting combines the good qualities of the root stock with the superior fruit of the grafted on branch. Growing fruit from seed is an unknown if the tree produced will have fruit that is as good. Taking a scion from a tree that is known for good fruit will guarantee the same fruit on the newly grafted tree.
Can also have one tree with multiple varieties.
How about explaining the time of year grafting should take place? I know my figs should be grafted shortly before coming out of dormancy.
But what about the other fruit trees?
Hi. That notion is valid for most fruit types. Grafting them immediately after they come after dormancy. But it really depends on the techniques you are using, more than the fruit type. I just published a video about "Patch Budding" and this technique requires that the sap is in full flow, so its best done in late spring or in the summer. T-Budding can be done in the Autumn in most fruit types, so there isn't a quick answer for your question...
What is the best season to make grafts,,,,,, excelente videos tenks
Hi Carlos, It depends on the type of fruit tree and on the technique used. Check this video where I explain a few points about that theme - ua-cam.com/video/tFWvZzMv2Io/v-deo.html
Nice video sir. Please make video on summer grafting, notching and the use of pgr(plant growth regulator) I.e. promolin, perlan etc.
Hi. I might do some summer grafting (mostly budding techniques or patch grafts). I have done some notching in the past, to promote branching. I might do some to illustrate the process and their uses. Thanks for the idea.
