I think it can be done on Juniers too. The way in to wrap the sion leaves by a very thin stretched freezing bag once and tight enough to go through the drill whole. Then when it emerges from the other side you can remove the plastic. To make the sion thiner you can remove a few of the scales or leaves to make the sion thiner so the drill hole can accommodate it. I haven't tried it myself but I think it worth a try .
Hi Jerome, another great informative demonstration. Could you keep both branches, I note the exit branch is your new addition, but could you keep the approach part - or is the branch growing in the wrong direction?
wouldn't the graft take faster if the exposed cambium of the branch is pressed to the lower side of the hole and the wedge is placed on top of the branch, since sap flow is coming up?
I would do wedge up or at the bottom depending on the situation. It makes sense what you are saying though. I have done them both way and both have been successful.
@ 1:12 you mention grafting an Apple tree to an Elm tree. This would NOT work, as you generally need to graft trees of the same genus (first part of the Latin name) to each other. Apple (Malus) doesn't graft to Elm (Ulmus.) For example you CAN graft Peach tree (Prunus persica) to Plum tree (Prunus domestica.) Though, occasionally plants of a different genus can be grafted if they are in the same Family.
That’s was a bit of an exaggeration the species should be of the same genus for most successful grafting. It is very common though for dwarf gardenias to be grafted onto citrus stock etc.
my man jerome, what a legend!
Another great tutorial Jerome. Keep them coming. Thanks, keep growing
Thank you Matt

I like the way you explain the technique, very understandable. I did this technique a few times with succes. Good video. 👍👍👍
Thank you, much appreciated!
Very great explanation of this super useful technique 🙏🏼💚
Thank you so much.
So interesting ! Thanks 🙏
I have tried this technique now i wait for the result.
Thank you so much, I failed in the past two years, hope to have better luck after watching your video.
Cool friends
Is your next update. I think you did a great job on this project!
Nice 👍
Tqvm for sharing & can we do it on Bougainvillea plants to have multiple colors???
Will this technique also work on a Ficus bonsai? What about a different kind of Ficus? Thanks so much and God bless!
Great video. Did you say a apple can be grafted onto a elm? I thought grafts would only take if they are the same genus?
I did say that but it was an exaggeration. They have to be of the same genus.
I take is that this would then work with deciduous conifers, like larch and baldcypress?
Hi Jerome, another great informative demonstration. Could you keep both branches, I note the exit branch is your new addition, but could you keep the approach part - or is the branch growing in the wrong direction?
Hey Simon, thank you. it wouldn't make sense to keep both ends, as one will start to swell up and then you would have a bulge.
would this be a suitable method for adding aerial roots to ficus trees, if you cut the exiting branch off later on?
What's the best time of year for this? I live in Ottawa, Canada. Zone 5b

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply excellent
Could you do this method if you wanted to graft on more roots for possibly root over rock?
Absolutely! I will make a video about that someday soon
Is the grafting whip a rooted cutting already with a root system?
It’s sucker that came out from the soil, it is probably connected to the rest of the rootsystem
Did we ever get an update
Can we graft a bud instead of a branch?
Could really use a jade grafting demo. Is it practical to graft a jade for bonsai? Would the end result be presentable and save time?
Hey Adam, jades don’t fuse so this technique wouldn’t work.
If I use liquid cut paste, will it interfere with merging?
I never tried liquid, but the idea is to remove the cupaste after they have fused. Liquid is difficult to remove and stays for a very long time.
🥰🥰👍
Hello friend, tell me, is this method suitable for ficus Benjamin variety Natasha ?
I think it should be :)
Thread me a FOIST
😆👌

You are right. I mentioned in another comment that the Apple to elm was an exaggeration which I shouldn’t have done. Great explanation though.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply No big deal, your channel is awesome! I am subscribed on 2 diff. accounts. Can't get enough of bonsai.
GRAFT AN APPLE TREE ON TO AN ELM TREE??????? YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!
