    Will you please post a follow up to this showing the tree and how it has grown since the graft? Also, to clarify, you grafted persimmon cuttings to a persimmon? Was there a reason you didn’t just let the existing persimmon tree grow? Was it a male that wasn’t producing fruit? Thanks for the video and hopefully the follow up to come.

    Victorinox Swiss grafting,budding knife is OUTSTANDING. I'll buy another whenever I'll get to a garden center,any Lebanese corporation near our district.Till now I barely got one as it was sold in a scouts specialty shop.I got a second very old knife of the grafting specialty though my friend asked to buy it from me. I gave him that old grafting knife prototype.

      The graft on this tree ended up dying in the drought. The tree is still healthy though. It sprouted new limbs that will make good grafting places. I have some others that are going on year 3 and looking pretty good.

    What do you do with the section of the tree you cut off? If the persimmon tree was growing and looked good, why did you graft it?

    • @TheElementWild
      @TheElementWild  Рік тому +1

      It was not fruit producing due to gender.

    I have kinda a dumb question because I have over 50 persimmon trees on my property and only 3 are female or fruit bearing my question is could I take cuttings from my fruit bearing female and graft them onto male trees and then would they fruit . Thanks

      You really think so? Most people I know in the surrounding area do it once the leaves have pushed out in late April.

      @@TheElementWild I’m not as familiar with persimmons as I am with apples or pears, but I’ve always heard it is best while they are still dormant and buds have just begun to swell.
      Persimmons grow like weeds, though, so worst case scenario you try again next year with the water shoots this produces.

    • @TheElementWild
      @TheElementWild  3 роки тому

      Thats exactly what I’m doing with the stump that I had fuyu grafted to. They died in the arctic blast we had which is a real shame.

    • @Isaacmantx

      @@TheElementWild So long as they aren't completely dead, they will sucker for a few years. That gives several tries for grafting if a first one fails. My dad just cut a persimmon male down, and i'm tempted to try a late graft to that too.

      Do it! They’ll take, especially with a big root system like I bet that has.

    Not a very good demonstration of grafting, I am not surprised to read in the comments below that these grafts didn't take/survive. You barely stretched the parafilm, used about 5x more than needed, and left way too many buds on the scion sticks. The rootstock also appears to have low vigor (tight growth rings and bark covered with lichen in an open field). I wish people wouldn't make videos just for the sake of making videos, perpetuating bad information.

    Después de destrozar un hermoso Diospirus Virginiana, va y le pone púas delgadas y chicas. Eso no se hace,se ponen púas de 8 o 10 milímetros de grosor. En fin, este señor tiene poquísima experiencia. A destrozado un arbolito muy bonito de aquellas tierras. Espero que agarrase el injerto. Muchas gracias.
