Question! If the wraps are to prevent moisture like rain, sleet, snow etc from affecting the cuts! Why wet the ends..Just curious as other planters says keep all moisture away from the graft site?
Great video! How long does a graft like this take to produce fruit? Does grafting onto a more mature tree speed up the time to produce fruit, or is it mostly same as a younger tree with a similarly aged graft?
Thank you! Time to fruiting can vary, but I would expect it to start producing fruit year 3. The first year it mostly heals and then grows the second year hopefully producing spurs. Then hopefully those spurs will flower and fruit year 3. The third year is also when you might expect fruit from a young transplanted tree. Well, sometimes they flower sooner but it is recommended that we remove any fruit when small the first and second year. If you have a mature tree and want to get fruit quickly, it would be good to do a bunch of grafts on different sides of the tree.
Thxs so much for information I wanted grafting on Apple tree last year but not successful this year I graft it's successful .I am very glad one on Orange tree graft it's too successful
Good video thanks. I have seen people wrapping the entire scion with film to retain moisture. I'm just starting out, but I think I'll get the grafting tool and a knife and try both
Hi Peter. Unfortunately you can't graft apple to apricot. Apple to apple or crabapple would work great. Pear to pear, Asian pear or flowering pear. With stone fruit like apricot, there is more flexibility (nectarine, peach, plum, apricot). However, for grafting, success rates are highest with apple and pear. Grafting can work with stone fruit as well but budding tends to be more successful and common. Budding is sometimes called bud grafting. Hope this helps!
I think the water is pretty necessary. I think for the few that haven't worked for us it has been because they dried out before the union healed. Our success rate has been about 85% using the grafting tool. I think it is always good to do a couple extra just in case.
I haven't tried it myself, but plum can be grafted onto apricot. However, for stone fruit (plum, peach, apricot, etc), success rates are higher with a technique called "budding" or bud grafting -where you cut and remove a small bud in late summer/early fall and splice it on to a branch.
I find grafting to be so hard I am a beginner and there is a tree that has a damaged trunk and I need to graft a tree bud or branch to the rootstock so I can cut down the damaged tree and have it come back again with the already established roots.
Sounds like a challenge but a fun challenge. It would be so great if you could get it to work! Whatever you do, make sure to do what you can so there is good contact between the cambium layers and to make sure the scion wood doesn't dry out. Good luck!
No, unfortunately apple can't be grafted to pear nor pear to apple. Apple can be grafted to crab apple (flowering apple) and pear can be grafted to flowering pear varieties.
Pears and apple can be grafted either way. You might now question me that they of different genus? Yes ur right but there are some exception . You can check in youtube how pear and apple are grafted successfully. This year I'm trying too hope it works. #diy try it out🤣
You can graft any stone fruit to any stone fruit and apples an pears are in the same family as stone fruit. You can graft cherry's, peaches, plums, pears and apples all onto one another, theres vids of fruit trees with over 40 different types of fruit too and I've heard of people graphing nut trees onto fruit trees as well!
Great video, very informative, thanks for sharing my friend 👌👍
Just ordered the same tool to build a multiple variety fig tree!
Awesome! Hope it works great!
Always paint with a graft sealer to avoid disappointment. Beeswax works best if melted and brushed on

You're welcome!
Great video! I’m doing something similar I just need a local source of psion cuttings
Good video thanks. I have seen people wrapping the entire scion with film to retain moisture. I'm just starting out, but I think I'll get the grafting tool and a knife and try both
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for the comment.
thank you for your demonstration how to graft.can i graft apple to my apricot? what similar fruits i can graft to this tree?

take off all shoots before the graft always
Do you really need the water for sure? What is your success rate, pls?
I think the water is pretty necessary. I think for the few that haven't worked for us it has been because they dried out before the union healed. Our success rate has been about 85% using the grafting tool. I think it is always good to do a couple extra just in case.
Water increases chance of fungal infection, best not to use any external contaminants
Did it work?
Yes!
One more I want to know information about plums tree graft on apricot tree or not plz replied

@@lepoualfeo I hope it works. Let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Citrus must by graphed on to other citrus but you can graft any citrus variety onto any Citrus variety aswell!
what if we did it with humans
This is a hard video to follow and listen to the first step over and over and over.
Thanks, this is helpful, but you give too much explanation. You say the same things multiple times.
