I thank you so much for the grafting detail mistakes. I'm beginner 101. I watch several grafting technique on line and feel very confidence grafting the whip n tongue, clefting and approaching style. I did 15 grafting fruit trees into 4 trees using electrical tape and very thin plastic bags. 2 months later, I was very dissapointed all my grafting fail except two made it. I was very happy and had realizes only the clefting style works. You are right the fail ones cambium never touch and it dry out. So I re graft all the fail scions ones by doing the cleft grafting using the same scion. In 45 days later, all 13 grafting become 100% success. I was so proud of myself first time learn to graft. I learn this clefting style from Charles from IV- organic on UA-cam. The only different is - I use electrical tape and thin plastic bag not his fishing line. Thank you so much for confirming the detail 5 mistakes. I never thought of doing the side grafting before, seems easy your way. I will try to graft my jackfruits tree next week.
Good luck, jackfruits have been the toughest to graft for me, side grafts fail almost always, please try cleft or even better approach graft for jackfruits.
I am very greatful for your unique kindness in trying to prevent us from the same mistakes you made. I am also encouraged because I have made also same mistakes and was discouraged. Thanks a lot
You have explained in a very simple language and in a strait way. Congraturations. Very good for us begginers. I have also been a victim of similar mistakes! I was succesiful in grafting guava, lemon and avocado but mostly failed in mango and jackfruit! I will try to improve my grafting by abiding more to your advice from your experience. Many thanks.
Good luck 🍀! Jackfruit and sapodilla have been the most difficult, so don’t get discouraged if your jackfruit grafts fail. I only succeed in approach grafting those. Once i figure out a good technique with high success rates for jack and sapodilla, i will post it here.
Masha Allah the video was very informative. I recently started grafting, which I learned from this is that the cambium of scion and rootstock should be in line with each other. Thanks for the information.
Will save huge number of human hours around the world with smiles on their faces. thank you so much. it was very lovely to listen and to watch. Very informative yet simple.
You're right, my brother! I have been learning to graft trees since I was in high school. I watched UA-cam videos and did exactly what they did, but I have wondered why none of them worked. That's when I started to research more on What to do and What to avoid. Grafting in your backyard is fun and seeing them succeed is very satisfying plus you get to have a lifetime skill that you can pass to younger generations.
I just unwrapped three grafts and all three failed. I also noticed that all the grafting videos have experienced grafters showing what to do. I was looking for a video on reasons why grafts failed. This is the first one I found. Thank you!
I looked online for buddy tape on Amazon. There’s one that looks like the one you had on your video. It’s buddy tape for grafting. I didn’t realize buddy tape was used for splinting one finger to another. Anyway it looks very similar to paraffin grafting tape but it’s 5x more expensive. Is it really that much different and better?
Buddy tape is quite different, it is more stretchy and stronger as well. It does not crack open after a few weeks like parafilm, which makes a lot of difference for scions that stay green for a long time and take long to flush. It is about 5 times as expensive. I buy one perforated roll per year and do a lot of grafting, and seems like it lasts for a year. The price was/is $25 per roll with $5 shipping from a forum member at Tropical fruit forum buy/sell page.
Centering the scion was my mistakes when I started grafting. I've grafted two avocado seedlings, but failed. I am here to see what other mistakes I did, still learning. Only been doing it for like two months.
Of course bro i m also learning by making mistakes.. After almost 10 consecutive grafting mistakes on mango three grafting are successful and I'm so happy to show off these to people who even doesn't know what is it.. That much mad i have gone
If u cut the outer bark only then it's fine to center the scion because then u have full cambium contact between the cambium layers on both the scion and the root stock.🤔
Thank you very much dear for giving such a wonderful information on grafting. Now I’m aware of the mistakes I was doing. Thank you very much for the information and god bless you dear 👍
hi thank you very much for your video lesson for the few days I'm going through so many videos . I'm a beginner just started grafting on mango trees your video is something different and very useful thank you
Hi bro. Excellent video. U seem to be a better teacher and inspirer than the so call professionals. I have only had one success in many attempts. And i dont have a clue what i did correctly. I'll definitely take ur advices and try them. Thanks.
Thanks. I have learnt that everyone has their own successful grafting technique. Try different ways, with different thickness of scions and at different times of the year and you will find your own best way.
Thanks for the feedback! We recently released 5 more grafting mistakes, 1 year update, hope it will be helpful, too! ua-cam.com/video/DGSgnSMjgHs/v-deo.html
Thank you 😊 I will keep on trying. I thought bud wood occurred during April or may. You are saying it can occur In September or only if the tree is actively growing leaves...confusing part.
You can harvest budwood/scion when the mother tree is actively growing. The best scion is one that has at least one active bud and is hardened(not soft and new growth). Grafting can be done during any month that is warm, with weather that promotes growth of the rootstock tree. In different countries or climate the best month to graft will be different. You will have to protect the graft from rain, sun and wind, but any warm month will do if you have these protections in place.
Great informative video! Thank you..In theory i now feel I fully understand but🤔... I will be experimenting alot tho...its spring time in the Caribbean now
Thank you. Yes you can use the tape if it is stretchable and insulates the scion from drying out. Good thing about the buddy tape is that one will not need to take the tape off for the bud to push, it usually pushes through the buddy tape. And if the weather is not very hot, and graft is in shaded area, you can also put a plastic cover on top of the scion after grafting instead of wrapping the scion with any tape.
Best is to graft as soon as possible, within hours. But if not possible then cover scion with parafilm or buddy tape and put inside airtight ziploc bag. I store them in fridge, not freezer. When ready to graft put them out of fridge, and ziploc bag and cut the base of scion 2-3 mm and then dip the scion base in a water for hydration. Then graft.
One UA-camr protects his grafts with padded envelopes instead of clear plastic bags so they won’t overheat in the sun. I have tried that, securing the envelopes with zip/cable ties. Seemed to work, although my grafting success so far has only been about 60%, so I can’t boast. 😏
Sounds like a logical idea, i will experiment with it and let you know. Though here in Costa Rica grafting has been very different for me than in Florida, species that are very easy to graft in FL are super hard in CR, and vice versa. I’m still observing and learning…
I think lots of people make mistake no.3 because of the over emphasis by professionals on matching sizes of scion and rootstock...rather than emphasising importance of matching cambiums of scion and r.stock on one side... 4 get about the other side.
Thank you. If you are in U.S., you can order mango scions online from tropical acres mango farm website. I am not sure how to do that in India. Maybe you can get from Horticulture Institute of your region, probably there is one in Assam or maybe in West Bengal.
Thanks!! Please update us on your grafts and grafting experiences. We don't have all the mango varieties people grow around here in South FL but i counted our trees/grafted varieties yesterday and we have total of 48 varieties :) , if you need any more scions let us know.
thank you. I remove the bag once i see that the new leaves from the scion have matured. Sometimes a scion pushes new leaves but they are not from union but from the stored energy in the scion itself. These new leaves will dry off in a few days. Usually if the scion pushes after 4 weeks it is after a good union and the leaves will continue to mature.
Hi thanks for the nice video. I am interested in grafting mango. I have obtained a scion of mango plant but then I was busy and put the branch in a bucket full of water with broken part inside water. So can I use it after 3- 4 days? You have told the water must not penetrate but scion and rootstock plant.
Yes you can definitely use it after 3 days if the scion branch was hydrating in the bucket of water. When you are ready to graft, just take it out and wipe it with a dry cloth or paper towel before you cut the scion.
@@growpuravida another difficulty, the wax coated stretchable grafting tape is not available at local stores, getting online will take few more days, so what is the hack for it? Can I use normal pvc insulation tape or adhesive cello tape ?
The idea is to prevent rain/moisture to enter the scion union and to prevent drying of the scion until the union heals. If you are keeping the graft in a shaded place and if rain does not enter in the area where the plant is( if it is a potted plant) , then putting a transparent air-tight(no holes) polythene bag on top of scion and graft and securing it below the graft union with a thread or a rubber band will do, no need to put grafting tape. Please make sure the rootstock is watered well twice a week and given fertilizer/nutrients once after the grafting. This will help the graft union heal faster.
I’m just starting out and learning all about grafting. This is Very helpful. You clarified the cambium for me and how the scion cambium and the root stock cambium must be aligned. Rain water penetrating the graft?? I had no idea we have to do that. And creating a Micro climate to maintain moisture and humidity!! Good stuff !! Thanks! ….. By the way,, what is the plant behind you with tall stocks in the beginning of the video ? Is that ginger??
I enjoyed your video because you are a good teacher. Could you please tell me why I fail in grafting young avocado seedling? Whenever I graft young avocado seedling, new shoot will sprout from under and the Scion will dried out. Kindly help
Thank you very much. May i ask you which technique you used for that avocado seedling? Side graft or top cleft graft? In top cleft, after you graft the plant will try to push buds and sprout from underneath the graft, do not let them grow, nip them off with finger when they bud out. If you let them grow, plant will ignore your graft and use this new sprout as a leader branch. I usually do side graft on seedlings for this reason.

What brand did you buy?
@@briantsuzaki9479 I buy Japanese buddy tape brand, AGLIS www.buddytape.com, currently unavailable though but usually sold on both Amazon and eBay...

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing, beginner grafter and had no idea the cambium layer was the most important not matching in the middle.
Thank you! Good luck with your grafts!
Really helpful
I just started grafting two months back but have failed all time. You gave certain good ideas and I will try it again.
Best of luck! 💪🏽
Very worthwhile video. For starters I'm ditching the parafilm that I've long suspected was a weak link. Especially given that my stock was old.
One of the best grafting video advice on UA-cam, very helpful, thank you
Thank you, really appreciate that 🙏

You are welcome
Thats good brother keet it going to share your knowlegde
Electrical tape works for me - and it is MUCH cheaper. IT is KEY to make the wrap TIGHT, and Water tight.
Yes it works for me too in spring when there is lowest humidity, but i don’t take chances now.
Very good information,I LIKED THIS
Many many thanks!
Good evening. Very good and practical narration. Keep it up Brother
Thank you! 🙏
Thank for making me know my mistakes, you have done really good job 👍
Thanks for the feedback! My technique is constantly progressing, i’m working on an updated video with more mistakes :) stay tuned!
Ok thanks
Am waiting
Thank you for advice brother

Very nice.
It would be helpful to mention if you use self amalgamating tape (which is what I have had sucess with ) or sticky tape both are electrical tape.
Read the description under the video, i’m not using either any longer
Great video, i am in rural Africa and can’t get official budding tape. Could i try white plumbing tape, very elastic, water and air tight to?
Thank you. Yes you can use the tape if it is stretchable and insulates the scion from drying out. Good thing about the buddy tape is that one will not need to take the tape off for the bud to push, it usually pushes through the buddy tape.

Great video! :)
the u 4 sharing your talent w/t is, how many days br u remove the plastic bag.
thank you. I remove the bag once i see that the new leaves from the scion have matured. Sometimes a scion pushes new leaves but they are not from union but from the stored energy in the scion itself. These new leaves will dry off in a few days. Usually if the scion pushes after 4 weeks it is after a good union and the leaves will continue to mature.
