Hello, Susan! You and Kevin did a great show! Look forward to meeting you later this week!
It was a super fun show! Glad you enjoyed it!
People should check out this radio show. It is so informational.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Congrats on 100 episodes.
Thank you so much Victoria!
Nice video thanks. I'm going to try apple branches with some smooth bark trees because that is where I need the apple branches to be.
What is a “smooth bark tree”?
My grandfather has an old nectarine grafted into an almond tree!
Very cool!
I’ve got 4 cherry trees I grew from red cherry seeds I bought at ALDIs. They are growing great but didn’t blossom plus they are developing some sort of warts on the stems that chokes the stems. I saw a video that explains why cherry trees grown from seeds are a genetic roll of the dice and lots of times they go back to the wild sour variety. I have native Tennessee plum trees I wanted to take cuttings from and graft into the wild cherry root stock. I could tale cuttings from the cherry trees in the back yard to graft into the wild root stock but I would rather do the plum. You said in the show that plum and cherry doesn’t work. Is that incompatibility constant or are there exceptions since the wild natural Tennessee plum is wild and natural snd the cherry is also gone back to a wild genetics?
Sorry for the delay! I myself am not an expert on this, but I did some research and I found that grafting Tennessee plum cuttings onto wild cherry rootstock is usually not successful due to genetic incompatibility, even with wild varieties. It’s best to graft cherry cuttings onto your wild cherry trees instead. If you want to grow plums, plant plum rootstock and graft your Tennessee plum cuttings onto those for better results. Hope that helps!
how to select a successful cross breed grafting for example apple with banana? ps example to clarify my question
For successful grafting, you need to choose plants within the same genus or closely related species. Grafting an apple with a banana won’t work because they are too different genetically. So we have to stick to grafting apple with other apple varieties or closely related fruit like pears. :-)
