Great job. Just a question. If I want to graft a Juniper scion to a thicker older almost bare branch with sparse foliage should I insert the scion on the live vains and what time of the year . Early Spring or early to Mid Summer. Already thank you for your kind reply 🙏🙏
Nice grafting demonstration. Thank you for posting another nice video. Adding a tag of what’s been grafted can be helpful especially for those who have substantial collections. I’d be curious to know if and when you unravel the tape or if you let the buds simply push the tape off. Thank you again, Mats
Great tip Mats! I actually have another juniper which I grafted at the beginning of the season and will do a reveal on what took, probably next friday.
If you use Parafilm it will perish and will practically fall off itself. If you use plastrip or similar then you will need to cut it off when the tape starts to choke the graft.
You are one of the few I could find that gives a good explanation on this - I’m surprised that you don’t have more views on this video
Thanks Ann. Well it made a difference for you so that’s all that counts. Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing 👍

The time I know works best is early spring. You might be able to do it mid summer too but then you might need to shade the scion more against heat.

Wow this is great. What is the rootstock that needs to be used? Is it the same for all junipers?
Thanks! It just needs to be a juniperus root stock. Then you can use any juniperus scion to graft to it.
looks like you are grafting spliff's there but nice technique to prevent water loss.
Ha ha. 😃
best time to graft junipers?
Scion grafts - best time is very early spring usually.
Time to make it?? In spring??
Yes. Very early spring when the plant is just staring to wake up (ie green tips on the foliage)
Thnk share it video
Thanks very much for that!
I missed how long til unwrapping
I think it grows through the grafting tape.
