    Thank you so much for this. I am going to try this on a plum/peach tree that produces delicious and abundant fruit.

    I've never grafted anything, but I've watched a lot of grafting videos. That is the simplest method I've seen, and the most straight-forward and helpful grafting video I've seen! I'll be watching for your other videos, as I've got some really old pear trees that I want to give a new start to. Thanks Danny and Wanda!

    Danny I did pretty much same on our 30+ fig tree and I’ve potted 2 . This does work. Sir you and Wanda are an inspiration to us all even seasoned homeschoolers,we all continue to learn.
    Thank you for your channel and your efforts. John

    Thank you for the Air Grafting Videos. I have done the standard grafting on an apple tree which I had bought, but didn't know that they don't produce well in our zone....greenhouse didn't mention that fact when they sold it to me....ugh... But anyway, I grafted three other types of apple tree on it with the help of my cousin who has a retail orchard from which he sells to other establishments. I also have 3 peach trees, other apple trees, an oriental pear and an ambrosia pear, and a cherry tree here. I want to do some air grafting on the pear trees now. You are such a wealth of knowledge for all of us. Thanks!!!

  • @donscott6431
    @donscott6431 5 місяців тому +4

    Neat! So:
    First you wanna find a rooting SITE (node)
    Drop below that (not too far, so that the hormone doesn’t have to travel so far through the cambium layer) and separate that layer from the tree’s root system. Then introduce the hormone to the interrupted nutrient source. Pack with a good growing medium and insulate from sunlight. Correct? By Golly I certainly learned something today. Look out, trees! Here I come!!!😊

    • @breesechick
      @breesechick 5 місяців тому +1

      True. I about trimmed my fig tree I'm half it's size last year and this year I'm getting a big harvest!

    • @Detour4it
      @Detour4it 5 місяців тому

      @breesechick Yes, the new growth is where the production is... all in the hormone balance act during dormancy; prune hard. I get great results (now) cutting new green growth (three/four inch cuts), snipping all leaves, leaving the bud end, scrap lower each side along a bud, dip into growth hormone, and pot it. 3 days later, I've got leaves. Growing fig cuttings has become an obsession. Good luck

If you would like some for PG, the price is right, and the time passes anyway so it doesn’t hurt to have something to show for it. I’m talking about dozens of seeds.

    • @nolagirlhomestead
      @nolagirlhomestead 5 місяців тому +1

      Bigger tree and faster harvest, if the mother stock is same. The limb doesn't know it's a new tree so it grows identical to stock without any shocking.
      Grafts can take up to 2 seasons to fruit.

  • @msgal
    @msgal 5 місяців тому +1

    Mr Danny how far up the limb, (from the tree), do you graft? Does it matter? Do you want a certain number of inches below the graft point for cutting? I Hope I'm asking the question the right way so you understand what I'm trying to ask.

    Question is why? .(in s.w. texas) I planted 2 brown turkey figs in 2017 from Walmart and every year the stocks die off and regrow yearly. Produces very good fruit every year and gets about 6-10 ft tall new growth. I assume it's the particular species or maybe a hybrid?
