I love your videos. I got the grafting bug last fall and have watched many, many of your videos. 2 weeks ago on Easter I grafted about 8 grafts. I just checked 3 of them (14 days later) and all three took nicely and are budding green. thank you for your simple and straight forward videos.
I started grafting on my apple and peach trees this spring and they are doing very well. I was surprised at how much growth I got on the scions in one season. Your videos were a huge resource for me to get the courage to make those first cuts. I started with whip and tongue and cleft grafts. I did some bud grafting on peaches this summer and even did an inarch graft on an ailing peach tree to bypass some trunk damage. I have three people lined up already to teach grafting to this coming year. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
That's wonderful! I'm glad my videos helped. Grafting is addictive and I'm sure the people you tech will soon find out how rewarding it can be. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for this video! Your tutorials helped me do my first grafts this past spring. 90% of my apples took, but 0% of my stone fruit! 😱 I'm looking forward to trying again soon
@JSacadura Thanks for your amazing videos! These are definitely the best on UA-cam! I got 2 questions: 1. Why do you shorten the scion? What happens if you let it the full length, like 40 cm and not cut the tip? 2. Does it make a difference, whether you graft the Rootstock 15 cm above ground or 40 cm above ground?
Hello sir, I know you mentioned one before where you get your knives with the wooden handle, but altough I have looked, I just cannot find it now, they look high quality. Would you please be able to post it here for all to see again?
Great video - I referred to your videos when I grafted 400 apple trees this past spring, and they did well. One question: do you find that wrapping the whole scion in parafilm (not just the cut section and the tip) significantly improves success rate? Also, if you haven't already, it would be great if you could make a video on interstem grafting. Thank you sir!
That's great!! Regarding your question...It depends on ambient conditions. If there is a chance that they might suffer from dehydration, its a definitive plus. When the plants are still dormant and there is little risk of the scions losing moisture I only cover the graft. Interstem grafting - Good idea. That's an important topic. I will add your suggestion to my list of future videos. Thanks for the comment.
In Russian gardening, there is such a thing as grafting a tree or grafting, overgrowth. You have something else on your mind besides vaccination, the triperny of this virus. Politics doesn't roll here at all. Here is the SAD.
Love your videos ! I would love to see you produce rootstock for citrus trees and also graft them with cool varieties. If this is a subject that you also find interesting it would be great to do a video about it ! Cheers from France ;)
Pls upload a video of mango plant grafting,to get new variety of mango and also explain what is cross breed grafting and how we create a new variety of mango.
I'm puzzled: as the cambial layer is on the stock and on the bark, why not expose both sides of the scion completely when making modified cleft grafts and rind/bark grafts. I've only seen this done on the Skillcult and Stephen Hayes channels, but it makes sense to me - more cambial contact and quicker, cleaner healing. Am I missing something?
Greetings from Cyprus and many thanks for sharing another excellent video JSacadura! Very clear and comprehensive step by step explanation; well done, keep up the good work! Could you please let me know of any videos you have produced showing grafting of olive trees? All the best!
auto-translated - Thank you, it's very interesting to learn from professionals! More videos about grape grafting if possible. _________________________________________________________________________ This winter I will be grafting a few old grape vines to change varieties. I will try to make another video on the subject. I have one published on grafting young grape vines - ua-cam.com/video/XHvcreBnQYI/v-deo.html _________________________ Auto-translated - Этой зимой я буду прививать несколько старых виноградных лоз, чтобы сменить сорта. Я постараюсь сделать еще одно видео на эту тему - у меня есть один опубликованный о прививке молодых виноградных лоз - ua-cam.com/video/XHvcreBnQYI/v-deo.html
He aprendido mucho de sus videos, muy educativos. Tengo una pregunta ¿ha hecho injertos en nogal? ¿qué métodos se usan y la época (otoño-invierno-primavera-verano)?. Gracias por compartir sus conocimientos.
Muchas gracias. Si, ya he injertado nogal con suceso. Varios métodos pueden funcionar, incluso la hendidura modificada. Pero, es preferible injertar a corona en final de primavera. La sabia del nogal tiene muy alta presión en esa época, por eso es necesario fijar las púas (con la ayuda de clavos) y recortar ligeramente el patrón para alivio algo la presión de la sabia, como he hecho este video, con las cepas viejas - min. 11.25 - ua-cam.com/video/sn3FvLk2pj0/v-deo.html
I learned a lot of your videos this year. I succesfully used the whip & tongue and chip budding method on Apple, grapes and pear. What would be the best method for grafting gooseberries on standards like ribes aureum and josta berry (because the scion wood is rather thin)? Many thanks for all your videos, they are very educational.
My property is loaded with Poplar trees and a few evergreen trees , could I graft eg. -apple ,pear or plum scions on these trees ? Thanks ,great video .
I have a 15 years old red grapevine that I want to change to a white variety. I’ve tried for two year with no success. I’ve tried chip budding and other methods. How do I see on the recipient plant when it’s the best time to graft on the new variety? Any suggestions on how to go about grafting grapevines? Cheers from Denmark.
I really like your videos they're informative and professionally done. What are your thoughts on grafting wax vs parafilm? I'm sure you've already answered this 1 million times. In my mind parafilm seems smarter for sure
I think the modified cleft technique could be enhanced by a tongue, the same way as the first technique. The tongue has benefits, so if diameter difference is at most 1:2, it could be done that way (i.e. cleft with a tongue).
Acha bom enraizar ramos de figueira grandes com 1,5 m de altura? Eu estava a pensar em pegar num ramo grande de uma boa variedade para enraizar e dar fruta logo bo próprio ano... Obrigado.
Utilizando o método tradicional de enraizamento (enterrar o ramo deitado, deixando apenas uma ponta acima do solo) costuma funcionar. Mas convém ser um ramo com 1 ou 2 anos, no máximo. ________________________________ Using the traditional rooting method (burying the branch lying down, leaving only one small tip above the ground) usually works. But it should be a branch 1 or 2 years old, at the most.
I would wait for early spring. Most grafting techniques work well with the rootstock leaving dormancy (the sap has to be flowing to provide nutrients for graft healing).
Hi, I have a nice 2m long pear whip on QuA rootstock which also has an inter-stem graft, (double worked rods). Im going to espalier this one, two others and four apples. It seems a shame to waste the majority of the whip length which gets cut above three good looking buds much lower down the whip. I don't have any other rootstock available BUT what could I do with the long piece of whip once I cut it off? This would make great scion wood if I had some rootstock. Its 1 and 1/2 weeks into spring here in New Zealand and the buds have not broken yet on either the pears or apples.
thank you for your advice, your videos is really great and helpfull. I have a question can i graft a pear in a quince tree? because we have to many quince trees here in greece.
I have several pear trees of different varieties grafted on quince. Many pear varieties will grow quite well grafted to this rootstock although some might be incompatible. In this video - ua-cam.com/video/Og6sDd5lEV4/v-deo.html - I am grafting a pear variety to a quince rootstock using the wedge grafting technique, but bark grafting will also work well and its easier to perform.
Hay tres tipos de injerto a nivel general que funcionan muy bien en función del diámetro y la época a realizar, el primero es el de corona para diámetros de patrón grandes y poder hacer varios injertos a la vez. Para diámetros pequeños e iguales el que tiene mucha probabilidad de éxito es el de lengüeta inglés y finalmente el de escudete para distintos diámetros y épocas del año. Para unos frutales se da la unos mejor que otros, pero esto para otro día.
This past fall I found a bunch of wild (?) apple seedlings. I am wondering if I should dig them up and transplant them to a better site? Also, if I transplant them when should I be able to graft to them? These seedlings are smaller diameter than a pencil and between 6 and 10 inches tall. I am new to grafting and very excited about it..
Yes, you can transplant them to a better site. I would wait until they are at pencil diameter before grafting them. You can graft with success thinner rootstocks, but mainly in pots, so you can control all the process. In the field its a bit more complicated...
Obrigado, Luís. Para Nespereiras podem-se utilizar estes dois métodos, mas como os garfos são um pouco frágeis, a técnica não é tão fácil de executar (este video antigo, só disponível com legendas, tem alguns exemplos - ua-cam.com/video/sT_mEAPRn60/v-deo.html). Também funciona bem a técnica da enxertia lateral subcortical. __________________________ Thanks, Luís. For Loquats you can use these two methods, but as the scions are a little fragile, the technique is not so easy to perform (this old video, only available with subtitles, has some examples - youtu .be/sT_mEAPRn60). The lateral subcortical grafting technique also works well.
The best scions are from young wood (1 year old or less). They should be harvested from the middle of a young vigorous branch and the buds should be wood buds (not fruit buds). You can store them in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. Apples and pears can be stored for 2 or 3 months wrapped in kitchen film. Other more delicate fruit types might deteriorate faster. Check the short video I published on this subject - "How to select, cut and store scions for grafting" - ua-cam.com/video/7ToL5QHIDq4/v-deo.html
@@JSacadura thanks for the response, I’ll be sure to check the video. I was mainly interested in how long the scion could last and how to achieve such a duration, so your comment helps greatly. That means I can select scion while dormant pruning in January and possibly use it mid-March/early-April. Thanks!
That's right. From January until March-April they should be fine. Wrap each scion individually, with the plastic film, for better results and don't add any moisture. Adding pieces of wet paper will only cause fungus growth, that will end up rendering your scions useless. The scions have all the moisture they will need inside them. Its only a matter of maintaining it. That's the job of the plastic film.
In the video you mentioned that sometimes compatibility between the rootstock and scion can be a problem when grafting pears. Wild callery pears are common where I live can you recommend Asian pear varieties that would be compatible?
Pyrus calleryana is usually compatible with most european and asian pear varieties. In my orchard, I have my asian pears grafted on Pyrus communis and some grafted directly on older pear varieties. Unfortunately, wild callery have, in most cases, variations that made them incompatible with many varieties. I could not predict which asian pear varieties will work, if any... You can experiment for yourself but be prepared for a high degree of incompatibility...
Nice video explanation.🙏👍…can you please tell me where I can buy the same parafilm you use in this video?? Thanks for your fabulous series of grafting videos👍
Its increasingly difficult to find it. Try Amazon - search for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape" and beware of cheap plastic imitations. Parafilm is biodegradable and breathable.
I have a macintosh apple tree that the apples mostly produce scabby fruit . Is it possible to graft a wild apple tree that is growing in the forest and produces a lovely apple to this macintosh tree or will it produce scabby apples as well?
If the variety you want to graft is scab resistant you can graft it into the Macintosh apple tree. The new growth will produce the wild apple and the scab resistance will be the same. Rootstocks can influence fruit size, precocity, etc, all factors that have to do with flowing nutrients and minerals, but scab resistance is essentially genetic, so the rootstock will have almost no interference.
That's quite low for apples. Check my video on the main reasons why grafts fail and try to identify what may be causing that low success rate - ua-cam.com/video/aatd7WLwDWs/v-deo.html
just saw you putting a plastic cup around a branch of curry leaf plant. That black sopot on your left hand looks nasty please get it checkes by your doctor all the best Michael
Hello sir,great work. I'm here in Nigeria started plant breeding 2years back and your videos has really be of help.I will like know if it's possible for you to send me some varieties of scion without been loosing it's viability? If yes then I make my request and you tell me the charges. Thanks. I wouldn't mind if I can have your contact or WhatsApp contact. Thanks.
Sorry. I can't send scions. Exporting scions requires lots of burocracy, quarantine and legal documents, like a phytosanitary certificate to go along the plant material. Obtaining it, takes many months and its quite expensive. With all that burocracy I stopped trying, a few years ago.
Hi,your action is not very good,we graffiti as comfortable as and very quickly is possible,one person can do grafting 1000 for a day ,if you like i can show u.
Grafting in the home orchard is not a race. Furthermore, I'm trying to show people how to graft. So, grafting quicker is not very helpful to people understanding the technique steps.

Stone fruits are a bit more delicate when grafting established trees. Budding (chip-budding and T-budding) usually produces the best results.
@JSacadura

When should we take off the cover ?
Usually, after 2-3 weeks. As soon as the graft takes and we see the bud pocking through the parafilm. The young leaves need light to keep growing.

I'm here in Nigeria started plant breeding 2years back and your videos has really be of help.I will like know if it's possible for you to send me some varieties of scion without been loosing it's viability? If yes then I make my request and you tell me the charges. Thanks.
I wouldn't mind if I can have your contact or WhatsApp contact.
Thanks.
Sorry. I can't send scions. Exporting scions requires lots of burocracy, quarantine and legal documents, like a phytosanitary certificate to go along the plant material. Obtaining it, takes many months and its quite expensive. With all that burocracy I stopped trying, a few years ago.

Hi,your action is not very good,we graffiti as comfortable as and very quickly is possible,one person can do grafting 1000 for a day ,if you like i can show u.
Grafting in the home orchard is not a race. Furthermore, I'm trying to show people how to graft. So, grafting quicker is not very helpful to people understanding the technique steps.
