Nice video, easy to follow, I've done a fair bit of grafting of apple, pear and plum, but haven't ever tried this type of graft. One question though, when inserting the scion wood, which part faces inward toward centre of the host branch, the long cut or the chisel cut?
Thank you for taking the time to put together these videos. As someone who has never grafted anything it does a good job of demystifying the subject and making it that much more approachable. It is currently summer here in Alberta, are there types of grafts that are more suitable for summer grafting?
In Alberta dormant scion grafting as in the video can be done from about April 21 to the end of June. Prime time would be the first couple of weeks of May as a rule. The only grafting done in summer or mid summer is T-budding or better yet "Chip Budding" (see the video with Dr. Evans). Here you chip bud a bud, but it doesn't grow until next spring. This is done roughly late July to mid August in Alberta.
