How to successfully bark graft in early summer using green scions. All you need to know is covered including several tips to improve your grafting success. If you like the video or have any questions, leave a comment and I will try to answer as many as I can. Thanks for watching.
Fascinating. My father grafted olive trees back in Greece for many years. Unfortunately we lost many trees back in 2021 when the fires hit northern Evia. Much of what is left is now wild rootstock shoots from some very old trees. I need to pick up from where my father left. Your techniques are very useful sir.
With older olive trees besides the bark graft you can use the patch graft. I plan to make a video on that technique which gives better results with older trees. But with wild rootstocks with just a few years, bark grafting is fine.
Thanks for including the number of weeks of each time you checked, now I now that if it isn't growing but it is still green it may still be viable. I wanted to ask you if after you know the graft was succesfull you do anything to improve the quality of the "wound", for example if you remove the corner pieces of bark in a bark graft. I usually try to cut out the parts with no sap flow to help the healthy patrs join without obstructions but I'm not sure it is usefull. Thank you again (from Italy)
Hi, Daniel. Replying to your question - No, I don't cut the corner pieces. The callus growth might not be pretty to watch, in some grafts, but I don't think it affects the plant ability to produce a good healthy joint. Thanks for the comment.
There are lots of others guys that do excellent graft work and might give you fresh perspectives. I'm glad my videos helped with your graft success. Thanks for the comment.
@@JSacadura But your videos are the best! There's no comparison! Thank you for bringing these videos to us all. Food is becoming very expensive, and the more we can grow, the better off we are!
Glad to see another video, I enjoyed it as always. Grafts drying out could well have been a problem on most of my buddings this year. The parafilm split early when the rootstock healed vigorously and thus exposed the very young bud graft to moisture loss and more sunlight. I live in zone 7a so my summer conditions are far from as severe as they are for you, but even so our summer seems to be challenging for young grafts. Cheers
Try using aluminium foil or a padded envelope to provide an additional protection layer, next time. They help protecting from intense sun and keeping the graft's moisture. Parafilm can cause a greenhouse effect on its own. Thanks for the comment.
@@JSacadura Thanks for the quick answer. I actually did try that when grafting citrus and it did work, I must have not remembered to try that out afterwards. I will now try that again, and I learned that technique from your videos and didn't continue using it! Thanks again, cheers
Ici aussi, les températures ont été très élevées cette année. J'ai été surpris par le succès de ces greffes dans ces conditions. Merci pour le commentaire.
dommage de ne pas avoir montré la greffe en fenêtre sur l'olivier méthode que l'on ne vois pas souvent avec des résultats impressionnent ( du mois en France ) connaissait vous cette méthode ?
Glad to see a new video. I bought 20 peach rootstocks in late spring and am really looking forward to this winter when I can finally graft onto them. I have them all growing in pots until then.
Thank you for your inspiring videos. Thanks to you I tried grafting conference pears into our Carola pear and this year we have more pears than we can eat😅 Hugs from Sweden🤗
Wonderful! I'm glad my videos helped. Grafting is great to turn a established rootstock into a productive tree with quality fruits. Thanks for the comment.
Side shoots are a pain in the butt. You can have a well-developed graft that looks fine and you let it be for a couple of months, and when you come back the side shoots take over and kill the graft. In Olives and Pomegranates when changing variety we leave one branch of the original cultivar just so we can graft and not have endless side shoots popping under the graft.
Yes, you're right. I usually leave one branch of the original rootstock to avoid this problem, like you can see on several examples of my previous video. However, this time, I wanted to graft a bit lower, so there where none that I could preserve easily. On older olive trees with several branches its easier to do it. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Superbes videos. I have experimented a few of tour techniques. My best success are : - cherry - peers - plum - apricots My failures, apart from those in the first days/weeks, occur 5 to 8 weeks later, when the grafts were growing well. The buds and shoots seem to have been eaten. Is it possible that slugs come and eat them (or bullfinches)? Tell me. Best regards.
What is the best grafting method for olive on your opinion if we have young seedling as rootstock? And could it possible to graft such small rootstock in summer by chip-budding? Is it important to leave a piece of wood under the bark with the bud or is better without such piece of wood?
With thinner young seedlings the best method is bud grafting. You can graft the bud with or without a thin layer of wood with similar results /the bark has to be slipping very well to remove a bud without wood and be able to preserve it - the bark might come out without the bud - with the bark towards the sun you will see a clear spot where the bud was). If it has a thin piece of wood technically it's chip-budding. It's usually done in the spring/early summer, but it depends on local temperature and humidity.
Foarte interesante informatiile! Am si eu un maslin in ghiveci pa care il scot afara in perioada calda. Este posibil sa-l plantez in gradina? La ce temperaturi negative poate supravietui? Multumesc!
Q- Very interesting information! I also have an olive tree in a pot, so I take it outside during the warm season. Is it possible to plant it in the garden? At what negative temperatures can it survive? Thank you! Answer - Olive trees are very resilient and can withstand negative temperatures (-10 to -15ºC). They even regrow from cold damage. You might have to protect it while its young. Auto-translated - Măslinii sunt foarte rezistenți și pot rezista la temperaturi negative (-10 până la -15ºC). Ele chiar refac din cauza daunelor cauzate de frig. S-ar putea să trebuiască să-l protejezi cât este tânăr.
Multumesc foarte mult pentru raspuns si mai ales pentru promptitudine! Daca se poate as vrea sa aflu daca mai este necesara altoirea maslinului? Precizez ca maslinul a fost cumparat cu tot cu ghiveci de la un magazin specializat in plante. @@JSacadura
Nu sunt sigur că înțeleg întrebarea. Dacă ați cumpărat un măslin dintr-un soi productiv, nu este necesar să-l altoiți. Doar dacă este un măslin „sălbatic” care produce măsline de proastă calitate. ____________________ I'm not sure I understand the question. If you bought an olive tree from a productive variety, it is not necessary to graft it. Only if it is a "wild" olive tree that produces poor quality olives.
After watching your video, I tried grafting a peach and apple onto a small tree trunk and another tree branch. My question is, can you graft any fruit trees onto any non-fruit trees?
Sir, I followed all your grafting methods. I got a 90% success rate.. I cover the whole scion with grafting tape when the scion starts growing new leaves, then I remove the tape from the scion to let the leaves grow. But I didn't remove tape from the grafting spot, but after removing tape from the scion exposing it to the sunlight, the newly grown leaves started coming brown color. Why is so please answer?
I assume you expect a full size tree to develop on the wild self seeded rootstock, or could it surprise you and have different characteristics? Would a wild rootstock of this kind normally be more disease resistant?
Yes, I expect a full size tree with the same characteristics as the grafted cultivar. The rootstock can provide some adaptability, like resistance to drought, to some soil diseases or growth capability in less than ideal soil, but the cultivar will have all the remaining characteristics (like susceptibility to fungus or insects).
Very informative, interesting videos! Have you ever done grafting on Kousa Dogwoods, and if so how successful? What would be your recommendations for finding an expert in dogwood grafting near my location? Thank you!
I don't have experience with mango scions (can't grow mango over here without a greenhouse). Nevertheless, If you wrap the scions in plastic film you can store them in the refrigerator vegetable drawer for a couple of weeks, at least. With dormant scions I have stored them for a couple of months and they were still viable to graft.
I use Arbokol, like you see in the video. It's a resin based pruning paste, but I believe its only available in Europe. Nevertheless, any non-tar based pruning paste will work, even a homemade one (there are some videos available on the subject in RU-vid).
Qual é a marca da navalha de lâmina escura que aparece no início do video quando faz referência à enxertia de coroa no íncio da primavera? Lembro me que o meu avô tinha uma igual na região do douro vinhateiro
É uma navalha artesanal de enxertia do Gilberto Ferreira - navalhasgferreira.pt/produto/navalha-enxertia/ Já a tenho há muitos anos e continua a ser uma das minhas preferidas.
I disinfect my blade before grafting and that helps prevent spreading diseases. As far as the grafts, in my area, they are not that affected by fungus this time of year. So, no, I tend to avoid spraying as much as possible.
With the high temperatures they just can't sustain the inner moisture as they still don't have established a connection with the vascular tissues of the rootstock.
Buonasera,mi chiamo Aldo Sardoni abito vicino Rieti vi seguo da molto tempo sono iscritto da voi da tanto tempo vorrei sapere come posso fare ho un albero di fico grande ho preso uno spago e lo misurato ho preso il metro e sono 10 centimetri di misura come posso fare per innestarlo se a corona o a spacco in primavera. Io ho dei cugini in Florida a riverviu nel Tampa e anno un motel. I vostri video sono molto belli e istruttivi però non parlando inglese vorrei che mi mettesse la traduzione in italiano così leggendo posso capire meglio i vostri video. Mi potreste rispondere per favore come posso fare per il fico? Vi ringrazio cordialmente per tutto il bene che ci fate per imparare a fare i vostri innesti grazie mille e arrivederci aspettando la vostra risposta. Dal vostro amico Aldo Sardoni.
Hola compañero hace unos dias cogi unas peras de un peral que m eparecieorn deliciosas, creo que eran peras limoneras y tome unos esqueje sde ese arbol para injertarlos en mi finca pero ahora mismo no dispogo de un patrol de peral, pero tengo nisperos, en teoria los nisperos son compatibles con los menbrillos , estos con los perales por lo que pense que en teoria el peral podria ser compatible con el nispero no encontre informacion sobre ello en internet, sabes si realmente lo son?? tambien me plantee si seria compatible con el espino albar, y con la piracanta, es podible que lo sea?? y tambien es posible que el peral enraice por equeje? gracias, buen trabajo
