Thanks for showing the resulting tree after a few years - it really added a different dimension to other grafting videos I have viewed. Great instructional video.
Sir, this is one of the videos ever watched in the course of sharpening my saw in practical agriculture. Thanks a million for taking pain to answer all questions, You are indeed a blessing to us.
I followed all your advice. I cut down a big old apple tree that never produced any quality fruit, grafted a bunch of Fuji scion wood onto it... 5-6 weeks on and 95% of the grafts are growing vigorously ! Pretty good for a first attempt I reckon ! I imagine you can probably remember your first success at grafting, it's a great feeling ! I also tried some of your other methods with a bunch of plum trees that weren't productive and had a similar success rate. The avocados I tried did not turn out so well but I'm still hopeful that at least 30% of the grafts will take and really, that'll be enough. Thanks again mate
This is by far one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Thank you very much for sharing I'll definitely be watching your videos on how to graft.
I use a quality duct tape to wrap and also cover the ends of the big cut branches. I don't use any paint on sealants. I wrap my scions with parafilm. It's hot and dry in my area so it helps retain moisture. I also use the deep cut method like you show in the picture but I make one extra cut the same length along one side (oblique method) leaving a sliver of bark. That way I get more cambium contact and it doesn't push out the bark on the limb as much and not leaving a big air and water entry gap. There's so many ways and everyone has their favorite. Mine have adapted over the years.
I have been heavily into gardening my whole life. Grafting is one of the few things I have never practiced. It still seems amazing to me that this works. I wonder who the first person is that tried this. I imagine that person had zero hopes of success, then was amazingly surprised to see it not fail. Good video and very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with the rest of us!
Thanks for your comment. When you dig deeper into the process, you understand that its a simple process of healing taking place. Undifferentiated cells that are present in strategic places in plants collaborate to repair vascular tissues and the flow of sap unifies 2 different compatible plants. But you have a point, the first persons that tried it, opened a wide field of experimentation for the rest of us.
Very good video and extremely helpful. Completely changed out my apple tree to a better variety. Great technique and I am now seeing a total success! Thanks
I've tried this technique with varying success. I guess it takes a lot of practice. When I rework the tops of old apple trees, I gradually cut them back over the course of two years, then make saddle grafts to the waterspouts that pop up. I continue to trim them for another couple years until the grafts are the only branches producing new growth. I've done many trees this way. It's a very long process so I should probably try more cleft grafting. Also, those are the greatest clippers ever. I have a pair of felcos that never leave my side. They are my life, my soul, my everything.
I laso have done that. It's the safer approach, although it takes a bit longer. I use it mainly for trees that don't bounce back so well, like citrus. In that case I also graft the watersprouts that grow after cutting (always leaving some nursery limbs). Felco clippers are expensive, but last a lifetime - not so with other cheaper options that may only last one or two years and then fall apart.
Yesterday I went to a talk that included grafting techniques, forgot what I saw there because there was so much but this is pretty close to some of what the guy did so I really am glad to have found this. Thanks!
Your videos have got to be the best on UA-cam. Keep them coming. I have watched a lot of videos on youtube pertaining to taking cuttings and propagating cuttings. Your presentation works for me!
Wow, that takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember my dad grafted old trees exactly in the same way. Not just pear trees but also apricot, apple, plum and cherry trees. Nice to know that people still do it.
The bark graft is one of the most effective methods of changing varieties on older trees and i use it a lot on all sort of fruit types - apples, plums, cherries, apricots, almonds, peaches, olives, etc...
Thanks so much for this video. I have a couple massive pear trees that are healthy, but they never bear edible fruit. I was thinking of cutting them down but now I will wait til next spring and use this method to graft on a lot of Bosc & Comice scions .
Thank you for posting this video. I have been in the tree industry for a few years and am in my 20's. I have mostly just done removals and climbing, but I am more interested in the scientific approach to tree care. Looking to make a change in my career path similar to this type of work, rather than the extremely dangerous and hard on your body type tree work. This video answered a lot of questions I had about grafting, I appreciate the work you put into this. You have definitely gained a subscriber!
I topworked 2 apple trees this week. I applied some of your lessons. Great video. I am looking forward to your video on pruning. After 40 years, I think that I have figured it out. Consider a short video on scion selection.
Hi, Michael. Apparently my first answer to your comment disappeared (can't figure out why). Thanks for the kind words and support. I also appreciate the suggestion for a video and next season will definitively make one on that important subject - How to select scions and how to preserve them until its time to graft or root.
Que espetáculo. N me canso de ver os seus videos. Sou jardineiro e sempre tive uma paixão pela agricultura, os seus videos têm ajudado bastante. Muito obrigado Sr Sacadura.
Not really. The initial tree was already grafted as almost all fruit trees are (or they would not produce the fruits we eat). So, the tree was not 'natural' to start with. I am just changing the grafted variety.
The trees were i show the results with fruits, were grafted 5 years ago. The one i show in the video was grafted this year, but i plan to do regular updates of the grafts evolution.
@@JSacadura thank you good sir for the education. Tree grafting is something my great grandfather used to do. My grandmother never seen her dad graft. So this is something that got lost in my family, glad I can bring it back😁
My granddad used to do stuff like this before my family moved he had his own orchard and one tree had 4 varieties of apples on it. Both my favourite and his
Thanks for the comment. It's always nice to hear stories like that. I am the first in my family that got interested in grafting multivarieties trees. Hope my kids continue to take care of them when i'm gone.
@@JSacadura I am a granddad learning to graft & have an experimental station of sorts in the back yard. I'm seeking those apples that can be grown without poison sprays. Six look promising so far. Two don't even get worms inside - without help from me. Didn't know that was possible (Redfield & Hunt Russet, in Spokane, WA). The majority of my trees are of my own making on smaller diameter stock (whip & tongue, cleft, saddle, V & chip bud, which feels magical). I tried, for a friend, the graft you depict in this video without success. You did several things differently. Duly noted. Thanks!
my grandfather had a tree with apricot, nectarine and peach grafted in. the tree started out as one of those, but I dont know which was the stump. I could see what he had done, just didnt know exactly how. this is so cool!! now I want to plant a tree!
The original tree had to be from the same Genus (Prunus). In that Genus (that includes peaches, nectarines, apricots) many varieties are compatible with each other and you can end up with a fruit salad tree like your grandfather did.
Thanks.Those trees were grafted a few years ago using the same technique. In future videos i will post updates of this tree (all the grafts took and are growing well).
My congratulations, it is the first time I see this approach. I am kinda new to these things, but deffinately you have my admires for all the details. Keep up the good work! Subscribed !
I made a mistake possibly by not leaving a branch on my apple tree and maybe should have as you suggested but cut all because of fire blight on all the branches. I grafted on four of the five branches like you demonstrated in the video. What if anything should I do ? Thank you so much ! Mark
At least a nursing branch is usually needed to keep sap flowing in the grafted tree. That's why its a good idea to leave one (but if it was diseased you hadn't much choice). In some cases, without that flow, the tree might not recover from such a drastic procedure, specially if it had a disease before starting. Nevertheless, if the root system is in good shape, I would wait and see if the grafts take (there's not very much you can do now). Even if they fail, there are usually lots of dormant buds in the main trunk and new branches, from the original tree, will start to grow and (if healthy) they can later be grafted.
Hi. I have grafted walnuts with success using a modified bark grafting technique. The problem with walnuts is the pressure of the sap. You need to make a few cuts in the tree trunk, so the excess sap pressure can escape and nail the scions to the trunk. An alternative method that also works is the modified cleft graft that I show in some of my other grafting videos.
Bark grafting an almond tree - ua-cam.com/video/atOdPM6FmL0/v-deo.html; Chip-bud grafting a few trees - ua-cam.com/video/3lssseaG_Tg/v-deo.html - it also works for apricots.
Thanks for the video! I probably gonna have to do this to an improperly pruned and potted semidwarf peach tree I got from a neighbor...it’s been in the ground for 3 years now, but the scaffold branches are at my head level and the trunk is leggy and thin. I pruned heavily a few,weeks ago, and the tree has opened up and is blossomed and growing leaves now, but no new buds down on the trunk... I guess I’ll try grafting for the first time ever, plan to cut it off about 3 ft up the trunk and do this...
Beware that peach trees might be a bit more sensitive regarding this type of procedure, depending on the age and tree condition. Sometimes they respond to aggressive pruning by sending shoots from the rootstock and letting the top variety dry out (but it really depends on the rootstock). If it reacts like that, you can always graft one of the shoots.
Thanks for showing the resulting tree after a few years - it really added a different dimension to other grafting videos I have viewed. Great instructional video.

but it's as old as,the bible because grafting was mentioned in the bible
The best grafting video I've encountered so far! Thank you SO much. :)

great..like it so much
That is the best graft work I have seen. What did you use to seal the grafts with the paintbrush? Latex paint? Thank you.
Thanks. Its a resin type mastic used to cover large pruning wounds (i'm using Arbokol).
great job! i put first the tape, 1cm under the top, for better tight and smaller damage to bark.i hit the scion with a elastic hammer.
Love you videos. Thank you
