Great, that's incredible.
SurvivalAustria
Thank you for the compliment SurvivalAustria
! You've got some great content on your UA-cam-- I've just subscribed! Charles :-)
Nice work I love the cleft graft I have a fig tree with 8 different types hooked onto it grafting is so much fun awaiting the outcome thankyou
Hard to believe its been 3 yrs since you chopped this tree down.
Its looking great.
Hello NKyNative
! It's so cool to have it all documented & recorded here in the IV Organic library of videos! There will be a lot more before and afters with others fruit trees within my garden & others that we have visited over the years. Thank you for the compliment! Charles :-)
This guy knows so much
Can't wait to try grafting! Thank you for this instructional video.
You're welcome Deema Cloud
! Keep me posted on your grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
Can wait for the update. Thanks Charles
Hello James Nguyen
. I hope to have an update by spring & summer! I love working with this tree & sharing the grafting successes!!! Stay tuned.... Charles :-)
I am inspired!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to making this video!!!
You are the master of grafting. Thanks
Thank you for the compliment MH MH
!!! Charles :-)
Great informative video. I think you have woken up a new adventure for me. I definitely want to try doing this. I’m excited to see the tree produce the different figs.
Hello GARDEN OBSESSIONS
! My favorite topic in botany is grafting!!! So much FUN! And I'll post an update on this fig tree by spring & summer! Stay tuned!!! Charles :-)
When you were doing the Cleft graft I heard that splitting crackle. Glad you addressed that as being OK.
I'm learning this now. I would have likely cut down further and started again thinking I made a mistake.
Waiting for my Fig to get a little bigger so I can really graft onto it! Great vid Charles!
Hello Amy L. Shultz
! Thank you for the compliment!!! Please keep me posted on your fig growing & grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
I've watched all of the videos regarding this sweet tree. I'm fully invested! LOL! Will you now let it fruit? I saw a "citrus salad" tree at my local Green Thumb nursery in San Marcos. It had an orange, mandarin, lime, and lemon branch. I would have loved to get it, but at $200...and me not being sure I wouldn't kill it, I decided to wait. If I don't kill the other trees I bought this year, then I will look into getting that fancy one! You think I would know better having grown up across the road from orange and lemon groves in Reedley, CA!
Great info. Tried grafting a 3 in 1 right now it looks like 1 graft may have taken . I used a whip and tongue. I gonna try some of these methods now
Hello TheTexasBoys
! Thank you for the compliment! You'll enjoy these 3 methods that I predominately use, which are also way easier (in my opinion) than the whip-n-tongue method! Keep me posted on your grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
Charles,
I just wanted to offer you cuttings from my Purple Possum Passion Fruit vine, I'm going to be trimming it soon. It should do well in your area and is different from the variety you are currently growing. You sent me cuttings from yours last year and I wanted to return the favor, if you'd like to try another purple variety. I'm getting the yellow variety soon as well!
Also - thank you for sharing your preferred methods of grafting - techniques that DON'T require special tools or supplies!! I appreciate how you simplify grafting, therefore making the process seem A LOT less intimidating! You've encouraged me to give it a shot with the Kadota cutting you sent to me during last year's giveaway! Everybody cross your fingers! Thanks again for all your hard work and inspiration!!!
Good morning Jennifer McGolrick
. Thank you for the compliment!!! And yes, I'd be interested in expanding the passion fruit flavors in my garden!!! THANK YOU!!!! IV Organic c/o Charles Malki 1905 Wilcox Ave, #184, Los Angeles, CA 90068 (mailing address, only). Thank you!!! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic sounds good, I'll be pruning them in March I think. This is my first year pruning, I think you said to wait till after the last freeze, right? I'll send them to you then! 😊
Detailed closeups on the side graft with the fishing twine. Thumbs up
Thanks for the compliment Bob Brawley! I'll have another followup within the next 30-60 days! Stay tuned! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic Am I barking up the wrong tree by attempting to grow roots from pear or apple cuttings. Has that ever been successful by anyone to your knowledge. Oh I'm specifically thinking about dormant hardwood cuttings from last season growth
@@bobbrawley2612 Apple & Pear cuttings do not root as readily as figs & grape cuttings. Although doable, I have not been successful myself in rooting apple & pear cuttings. Plants & trees that do not propagate easily by way of cutting should be air-layered. Here is a helpful lesson I did about a year ago: ua-cam.com/video/rOjf7LliPmM/v-deo.html Keep me posted on your propagating successes! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic that's what I needed to know from a plant expert. To be a successful plant propagator . I got to switch plants or settle on 4 dollar root stocks Thanks for your opinion
another smashing vid, maybe u can make a citrus cocktail tree and or show how you would graft if the scion is larger than the root stalk,,,,just an idea. Keep up the fantastic content
Hello Matt McGhee. Thank you for the compliment!!! I love the challenge with the grafting scion that is thicker than the rootstock!! I saw your posts on other social media, and will try to make that one of my upcoming projects to demonstrate! Thank you for sharing your ideas!!! Charles :-)
...and, by the way, grafting a larger scion on a thinner rootstock is possible, and will likely balance out within a year or two... it's just not typically done that way, but will succeed if the cambium tissues are aligned and callous tissues form. I accept the challenge!!! Charles :-)
Nice vide. For the side graft why wouldn’t you just use like a cleft instead of side then cut the original branch. Is it because it heals faster/ better?
Thank you for the compliment Jason Harrold
. Both side (veneer) & cleft grafting heal equally fast & well. As a gardener, you are the 'artist', so to speak, in designing the graft that works best considering the materials provided. I just wanted to share some options. Another consideration, a modification of the cleft, is the crown graft, which is where you have a large rootstock and can fit 2+ scion flavors in the same diameter of the rootstock... another lesson for another video! Great question!!! Charles :-)
Interesting. I think side grafting would be interesting for getting serval varieties on a rootstock. Do you think grafting would also work on different varieties of blueberries. Could u get one bush with several pollinators?
@@jasonharrold6686 YES! For sure!!! Also, you could graft shorter bush varieties onto taller varieties by grafting onto the more vigorous tall variety rootstocks; fitting even more varieties onto one plant! Keep me posted on your grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
Grafting question: When a graft only makes contact with the cambium layer on half of the graft, does the successful growth going forward only get half the nutrients that a normal branch would get? Or does the successful graft eventually join both sides of the cambium layer to allow the branch to have a full connection to the root stock nutrients?
Hello Chris Swain
. Great question! I wish I discussed this issue, and should have demonstrated a cleft graft with similar diameter scion & rootstock, which would have had cambium tissue connection on all sides and naturally would have a higher success rate! Rather than considering a graft on one side, as getting 1/2 of the nutrients; I consider the side graft just as a side branch that is getting all the nutrients any other side branch on a tree would get. The cambium tissues from the other side of the rootstock typically heals over itself (and not the grafted scion wood). Within 1-2 years, the callous tissues between the cambium layers get as strong (if not stronger) than any other branch! I hope this helps? Keep me posted on your grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
Hello .Awesome Intel . Thank you so much Charles for sharing. Food Forest Permaculture .
I love your videos and also IV organic. Here is a question I have for you. Is Brown Turkey grafted on Chicago Hardy going to survive Chicago winter (zone 5)?
Thank you for the compliment Viliam Stojka
! GREAT question!!! To clarify, you want to know if grafting a Brown Turkey (which grows in grows in zones 7-10, some research supports zone 5&6), grafted onto Chicago Hardy (which grows in grow zones 5-10), would be more cold tolerant on Chicago Hardy rootstock. The answer: 'not likely.' It may benefit some from the hardiness of the Chicago Hardy rootstock; however, even though grafted, the genetics of each function independently. If the Brown Turkey cannot tolerate the colder temps that Chicago Hardy fig can tolerate, then it is likely to die back. But, if I were you, I would still attempt this experiment!!! Keep me posted!!! Charles :-)
The trouble with grafting in ground figs in a place with cold winters is that the whole tree is likely to die back to the ground and then you are back to just the rootstock. It could be done with potted figs, if you bring them into your garage for the winter after a few frosts but before a hard killing one.
This is fascinating, thank you.
Do the same techniques work with apple trees too? If I have a number of Bramley trees, can I do this to one of them to permit the established tree to support a number of different cultivars? Do they have to be cooking apples or will it also support desserts and cider apples?
Hi, Charles. I found your channel thanks to John Kohler's Growing Your Greens UA-cam channel.
I don't think I'm brave enough to attempt grafting yet, lol. A little too advanced for me at this point. Hope to have a fig tree one day, though.
I've planted lychee, persimmon, and starfruit in my backyard which keep me a little jaded. The starfruit grew into a lovely tree (trunk has thickened quite nicely and leaves are lush and beautiful, though it always drops its fruit) however the other two... quite sad. Lychee has thickened trunk slightly but hasn't really grown much and has never given fruit. The persimmon is the most depressing as the trunk is sooo skinny and even though it did grow fruit twice, they all fell off and now it's been a year and nothing. Any tips or videos for the more rare fruit trees like these? Ages range 3-4 years or so and I'm in central Florida. Thanks so much.
Hello SayHelloToOblivion
! I'm glad you found us through John Kohler, UA-cam's #1 followed gardening channel! Here's the link for others to follow: ua-cam.com/channels/UnFheTbVpASikm0YPb8pSw.html I've spend many years visiting Orlando & Tampa, which are great growing conditions, slightly cooler in the winters than Palm Beach (Boynton Beah & Boca Raton) that I spend nearly 8 years living! My #1 tip, especially important in sandy soil conditions, is to add a 2-3 inch layer of mulch (wood chips) around the base of the tree, at least 2.5 to 4 feet radius. The benefit is that the wood chips will reduce leaching of soil fertilizers, improve soil biology, reduce competition (weeds/ grasses) growing in the root zone, and it breaks down feeding the soil. Also, feed the trees, organically 3x per year with a granular fertilizer: spring, summer & fall. Keep me posted on your fruit tree growing successes!!! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic Thanks for your advice! I'm actually in Orlando so I can't blame the climate, haha. I will add the layer of wood chips as you suggested. It's been a long time since I've given it any good nutrients, too. I just ordered some water soluble mycorrhizae that John mentioned in one of his vids (by Plant Success). I also have Dr. Earth fertilizer for fruit trees but not sure if I can use both at the same time. I'll definitely let you know how my trees fare. Thanks again for your response. I value it greatly. :-)
What about 'thread grafting'? It's a technique used in bonsai to insert a branch, often from the same tree....but have you tried that as a variation to veneer grafting?
Please let me know when to apply this pest solution and how many times ?? Just Once or more ? GREAT Video !
Thank you for the compliment Carol! Once applied, the protection from summer sunburn & winter sunscald is about a year, more or less depending on rain / moisture. If pests are the target, you may need to apply 2, max of 3x per year. Application is based upon your intent; for example, if you have girdling rodents (typically a winter issue), then apply late fall. If you have boring beetles or termites, apply ASAP, and follow up reapplication if you see more holes (beetles boring out) 1-3 months later. Follow up periodically, until the tree heals over the wounds. Also, apply on exposed wood areas when pruning your roses, fruit trees, etc, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions! Charles :-)
I have a question about my Brown Turkey fig tree. I received the cuttings from my mom ‘s 20 yrs old fig tree. My fig is 3 yrs old. The trunk of the fig is white , not smooth and the bark can easily come off. My question will be should I cut off the tree or air layer one of the healthy branches to start all over 🤨
Hey Charles, great video as always!! One question. Is it completely necessary to cut the remaining length of branch when doing the side veneer graft? I would like to add another variety or 2, to my main trunk of my dwarf Peach tree. Is that possible using this method? The trunk is about 1-1.5 inches wide.
Hello Mario Vargas
! Thank you for the compliment! It's not necessary, but I recommend cutting the remaining branch so that the rootstock directs all it's resources to that part o the tree to the selected flavor scion wood, graft. I hope this makes sense. No pruning above the side graft will result in more competition between the graft and the branch above, resulting in inferior results. Try to strategically place the side 'veneer' graft in an area where you can prune the above part, and have the final result you are seeking! Keep me posted on your grafting successes!!! Charles :-)
@@IVOrganic Yes, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the hastily response!!
Loved seeing the different grafts
I have a question, if the graft fails does the rootstock die?
I mean if I decided to graft in an already established very tall tree , will that affect the main tree in any way? I haven’t found an answer for this yet, hope my question makes sense!
No, a failed graft won’t hurt the parent tree. Of course if you cut off a branch to do a cleft graft, that branch ain’t coming back. But there’s probably a bud further down that will now take off.
@@margaretmarshall3645 I seee, thank you!
Sweet...!
donating fruit trees to africa? you are 2 cool bro.. nice..
Hello BetterYouBetterWorld V
! Thank you for the compliment!!! We're always looking for ways to help... and thankful to our Facebook friends for connecting us! Charles :-)
Hello how are the grafts doing? Thanks
Am I able to purchase scions from or do you? Didn't see any on your website
Thanks to you I grafted a tiger panache cutting onto my unknown fig tree. Would you sell me a raspberry late cutting if you still have any? I’m located in Bakersfield ca not far from you.
can you graft mullbery on fig tree?
Where can you buy the product? Is it at Home Depot or Lowe’s?
Hello Stephanie Doan! Homes Depots in South USA should be stocked by spring! HomeDepot.com ships to your local store or home. There are about a hundred other garden centers nationwide that also carry IV Organic products. The most recent videos start and/ or end with a list of those stores you can find IV Organic products! Charles :-)
i no its off topic man but do you know if a sprinkle of home made aged and sifted compost on top of container fruit trees in silty sandy soil provides all the fertilizer needed? or do i need to use something else aswel? i can collect possum droppings and make compost tea and use diluted urine if i have to but it would be best if i could compost all that stuff first and then just use a sprinkle of fine compost yano, i gotta be careful with the organic matter cause if i cake it on it makes the soil hold its moisture too much and then things stop growing, atleast thats what i think is happening lol
thank you for great video , you can give me the store online , i want buy same variety like brown turky ant other variety because dont existe here , in algeria .
What is the rootstock?
