How to successfully bark graft several different types of established fruit trees. 8 grafting examples are provided in great detail with results up to 3 years, showing graft evolution and even fruit production in some cases. All you need to know is covered including several tips to improve your grafting success. Expect a more regular publishing schedule from now on, if all goes well. I appreciate your input and support. If you like the video or have any questions, leave a comment and I will try to answer as many as I can during the first couple of days after publication. Thanks for watching.
Depois de ver os seus videos este ano vejo resultados muito melhores do que quando comecei a enxertar após ler um livro antigo. Ingles complicado e coroa parece terem resultado muito bem. Desta vez só enxertei de coroa em abril em ameixa e macieira e a percentagem de sucesso é altissima. Tenho uma duvida sobre o ingles complicado. Funcionou excelentemente para amendoa, amendoa em ameixa, ameixa, cereja e aceitavelemente em abacate, nespera e maçã. Mas no pessego feito a meio de fevereiro foi um desastre. Depois tentei mais tarde de coroa e "lateral bark grafting" no pessegueiro em abril e secaram logo acho que talvez por terem estado tempo demais no frigorifico. É preciso algum cuidado especial para o pessegueiro? Tambem fiquei com a ideia que o ingles complicado nao funciona com garfos com mais de 1 cm de diametro. Eu faço uma lingueta com cerca de 1/3 do tamanho do bisel mas na macieira nenhum enxerto dos mais grossos pegou ao passo que nos mais finos só 1 falhou. Será que tenho de fazer uma adaptação na lingueta de modo a ser mais curta para garfos mais grossos? Notei que a madeira do cavalo na macieira rachava muito ao inserir o garfo nestes casos. Nunca tinha enxertado nespera mas notei que mal se faz o corte começa logo a oxidar rapido, isto é normal? Tanto no cavalo como no cavaleiro, e nos dias em que enxertei nao estava calor.
This might be a dumb question but I have a birch tree that we had to cut down about two years ago after a storm. Is the root system dead / is there something I can do with the stump? I know almost nothing about grafting.
exactly, as a beginner gardener, what is a "good tree" to graft onto? Does it have to be a fruit tree to graft a fruit branch? Does it have to be a citrus to graft another citrus branch?
i grafted 3 apple trees this spring learing from your videos, my wife's grandfather was so impressed when the grafts took, thank you very much for this skill that i will use for the rest of my life , now i can flex with all the grandfathers in my counrtyside about who's fruit tree makes better fruit.
I always enjoy your videos and find they are some of the highest quality on the topic. I'd love to see you cover some of these topics, I will post them as ideas for you: (1) More detailed look at what happens physiologically when grafting, the difference between bark, cambium, wood and callus tissue, (2) Warm callousing and different ways to use a hot pipe, (3) Grafting nut trees, (4) Growing your own rootstock. Thanks for creating these videos.
Thanks for the comment. I'm always open to suggestions and ideas for new videos and the topics you mentioned are quite interesting (a couple were already on my list). Now, its just a matter of finding the time to make them 😊
same , but i would to say something additional about tree parts callus tissues its work like platelets in blood , it's responsible Wood is died tissues , it work like bone , to fortify the tree and make it stand bark , is a tissues that cover the tree and protect it from outside effects like bugs , its work like human skin cambium i have some issues with it but i know its like stem cells in human body , its responsible to make other type of tissues (and that depend on the situation that it exposed to ) but my question is in bark grafting where does the connection process take place , i guess it happen: 1- in the lower rear part of the scion 2-along with both side of the cut off part of the scion
In Massillon, Ohio someone grafted a tree with over 40 types of fruits on one tree. He was an arborist by trade I think. He grafted over 50 trees on his property of a couple acres.
You are my favorite. I am your regular follower.your grafting techniques are excellent and outstanding. This year I grafted many fig plants in early spring and all came with successful results. Thanks for sharing your nice work.
Very interesting video sir. I watched my father graft a couple different apples when I was very young. They turned out very good and the tree is still producing to this day. That’s been about 30 years ago.
I haven't tuned in for awhile. Thanks to your teaching, I've used the last few years to build up my 2 pear and 1 apple espalier to be good producers with a good mix of varieties. You are the best grafting instructor I've seen, and I'm grateful for your expert help. Thanks.
Thanks for another great video. I used this technique on a good sized apple tree that split by cutting it back and grafting to the top, worked great and has been producing for years.
This is the best step by step video - bar none, that I've watched on this topic. Definitely going to be referring back to this once i receive my scions.
Hello jsacadura It’s almost summertime here where I’m from. We have different many tropical fruits, growing such as mango sapodilla guava subtropical and tropical fruit trees. We are happy. We do grafts throughout the year when it’s possible. But it’s all done before we get hot weather between June and August. I do the grafts and later on plant them on my field, I learned so much from your videos. Great video as always. Hope all is well with you and your family.
In my area we can keep grafting throughout the summer, in most years, providing we use the right techniques and protect the grafts well. Grafted plants are planted in the field in the autumn or very early spring. Thanks for the comment and best wishes. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your informative and detailed content. I appreciate seeing results in the same video. You helped take the fear out of grafting for me, and last spring I made my first attempts, with overwhelming success!
Thankyou! I will be grafting two nectarine varities matureing in june and august onto freestone peach fruiting in april, seaside san diego. Sion material from two bareroot nectarine trees.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for this video which allowed me to learn something with my 9 year old boy! He was curious about how fruiting tree grafting works and we both learnt something interesting thanks to you!
Thanks to you I've managed to graft my first figs and loquats, I cannot thank you enough for your teaching. I have a question that is mainly theoretical without much of a practical necessity. I've read that the cambium is extremely thin and it's just a couple of cells thick, my question is: when you separate the bark from the wood is the cambium just on the bark? If so i have trouble visualizing the contract point in the bark graft apart from the small diagonal cut on the scion
Hi, Daniele. I'm glad my videos helped in any way. The cambium layer goes all around the trunk. When the bark is lifted and a scion is placed flush against the wood, there's a thin layer of cambium cells against the trunk wood that will make contact with the scion cambium layer. When air layering (check my previous video), if you don't scrape the wood (and the cambium layer) after removing the bark, the plant will regrow the vascular tissues from it and the air layer might fail. So, this is one of the easiest grafts in terms of cambium layer contact. It's pretty much assured.
hello sir, i learn a lot from you, i trying experiment to graft common fig scion on ficus racemosa rootstock. i have succesful grafting jujube tree using your bark grafting method.
Yeah he's really good and informative. Now a tree phat tried to kill by cutting off the head with a sawzall with a meaty blade from Eric's harbor freight. Since it didn't actually die even after every thing was done. Gonna ✅ eBay for some fruit tree cuttings and some electrical tape and some grafting past and do this with it
@@JSacadura Olá, Já tentei varias vezes em varias arvores e ainda não tive sucesso. O sr. Vem para os lados de Fatima? Ou posso ir aprender com voce presencialmente? I think you are an artist and I certainlly am not.... Hope you can help
My friend was a botanist, and he imported exotic citrus from Southeast Asia. He'd then make several grafts from one of the plants, and he'd sell both the fruit and whole plants for a pretty penny. He had stuff that nobody else had, mostly various mandarins and finger limes. He would also use tie down methods that would maximize fruit production for the space (need to be potted in our climate to bring indoors during winter).
@JSacadura I notice your modified claft grafting have larger back bevel than the ones in the past, have you modified your Technic for some reason? (btw my modified claft grafting had a 100% success, following your tips). Thanks
Hi, Roberto. No, I pretty much keep doing a very short, back bevel cut when executing the modified cleft graft. In the bark grafting, the back bevel is longer as the only function is an easier insertion of the scion and that it stays more flush against the bark. Regarding your success rate using this technique, that's great. It's one of my favorites precisely because of the high percentage of successful grafts with very different types of fruit trees. Thanks for the comment.
@@JSacadura Following your advices I switched from previus techinques (wedge, whip and tongue, etc) to modified cleft grafting. it’s impressive the succes rate (100% this year). Sometimes I use wedge, but only because wedge has a stronger grip in windy zones.
Bu değerli paylaşımlar için teşekkür ederim. Geçen yıl aşı yapmaya başladım. Başarı oranı %60. Bu yıl daha çok aşı yaptım. Verdiğin bilgiler çok değerli.
Hi, Greg. Has Amir has already told you, yes. Beware that a few combinations of varieties may have some degree of incompatibility. You really have to try to be sure. But the odds are good. Thanks for the nice comment.
Interested in the grafting paste you use. Do you mix your own or purchase it? Do you already have a video where you discuss this product? Really enjoy your videos, thanks for posting them.
I use a brand that makes resin based pruning paste (avoid the tar based one's). I keep postponing a video about making our own mix. Some recipes use beeswax and linseed oil, for instance.
@@JSacadura thanks for the tip. If you do mix your own I’m interested to see your process and recipe. That is of course if you are willing. I’ve used f/x latex, toilet bowl ring wax, a mix of saw dust and wood glue, grafting tape, non at all. Considered using liquid tape used for electrical connections. Thanks for your reply. Regards, Justin
Thanks! One of your other videos helped me graft cherry branches to native cherry trees, after a rabbit ate the bark off the tree over winter. 4 weeks later, it looks like over a 50% success rate, though I probably would have done even better if I had put the saved branches in the fridge. Too bad I didn't graft some Plum buds onto the Plums that lost their top a year ago, and lost their remaining branches in this year's huge snowfall. One is regrowing from the roots, but the other is dead.
and it seems to me that there is no magic paste. each region sells its own pasta, it may differ from Portugal. they are all good the same and not 1 paste does not have any magical healing properties, it is designed to close the remedy and let it grow together.❤
of the 8 different grafting techniques my grandfather taught me. Bark grafting being easiest of coarse was my favorite. Although he made sure I learned Splice grafting, Saddle grafting, Cleft grafting, and Whip & Tongue grafting (my least favorite). Being that bark grafting wasn't always the best technique for each grafting time or situation.
I wondered if there was a way to graft fresh scion, but it sounds like based upon your video, this is not possible. I have a peach tree that isn’t doing so well and an almond tree that is doing quite well. I was hoping to remove a branch from the peach tree and graft it onto the almond tree. Is there any way to do this now, in May (spring)? Or must I wait until the peach tree is dormant to collect the scion wood from the peach tree? Second question, it looks like you remove all leaves from the root stock when you graft. Must I remove all growth from the almond tree/root stock when I (eventually) graft the peach onto it? >>> Never mind about this question, you just answered it at 10:23 when you explained the nursing branch concept!
You can use green wood (fresh scions) but, using the bark graft, they will fail more often, as the scion tends to dry out before it has a chance of fusing to the rootstock. However, removing the leaves, using scions that still have dormant and protecting the grafts very well against dehydration there is a chance they will be successful. Nevertheless, there are other techniques you can use, like chip grafting or t-budding. These techniques can use green buds (non dormant buds). I have several videos in my channel that cover those 2 techniques. Here's one on T-Budding - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xbumffmr3uY.html and the follow-up of those peach grafts - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yTqO24RfswE.html
Por lo que voy viendo con los años, a partir de 2,5-3 cm de diámetro diría que es mejor poner varias estaquillas en un injerto a corona. Así el lado contrario a la estaquilla no se seca hacia abajo y el cierre horizontal es más rápido. La consistencia de la pasta cicatrizante también puede comprometer los injertos. Una muy líquida entra por la mínima apertura. Este año he tenido que repetir varios injertos por diluir demasiado el fondo de un bote. Se agradece bastante poder ver como injertan otras personas. Gracias por todo el trabajo que hay detrás, un saludo!
@@JSacadura The friend of mine and I live in Zone 7. Friend planted persimmon by seed 9 years ago. And the first yeild was gotten in 2021. After that I realized that persimmon is really robust culture here unlike any classical: apple, plums, especially apricots which almost uncertain in getting fruits due to Monilia disease. I prefer organic fruits, but also like apricots. And try to find apricot varieties which have a tolerance to Monilia disease. I know one gardener not far from me who collects varieties of stone fruits, especially apricots because he likes it too. And I constrantly hope to find from his experience which apricot variety is the most tolerant. I haven't found mention about apricots in your videos. Are they also suffered from diseases in Portugal?
I would like to see more patch grafting techniques because there are only 4 or 5 videos on You Tube. I have a lot of pecan trees to graft and was wondering if that technique will work on very large trees somehow. The reason I want to know is because I have no more dormant scions left and I own a double bladed knife just like yours.
Thank you for your new video! I really appreciate you for your full of energy, altruistic way of giving knowledge to mass of gardeners and simply for rookies. I'd like to watch your new videos with good articulate English as you do! I have found your channel in autumn 2022 and from time to time follow your advice, rewatching grafting procedure details.
I am trying this now since I have a peach that has not flowered for me in 3 years. It was covered in flower buds but they all fell off without opening. I am grafting my other peach that has been producing the last few years. Unfortunately our spring is so early everything is in full growth already. I hope my grafts take ...
Sorry, Eleanore. I don't fully understand your question... Do you mean the type of soil I use when planting young grafted plants? If that's your question - I have different soil patches with different characteristics, but moistly clay based - which is far from ideal - it doesn't drain well and it's pH is too high. I plant them in the area I think will be most suited for each fruit type and correct the soil adding a rich compost (to neutralize the high pH and make it a bit more acidic).
Thank you so much for sharing your great skills and education everyone! I have been following your youtube chanel, please let us know what gray color grafting tape and paste you used in this video.
Thank you ,1st time , wanting to graft apple or pear to wild trees persimmon tree is the only tree that has fruit in the area . The rest are oak , willow etc . ?
Buenas tardes, Sacadura. Me gustaría saber, porque las hojas de una planta joven de kiwis, se están marchitando. La planta tiene tres meses plantada y la compré en un vivero de garantía. Gracias por la respuesta. Saludos desde Extremadura España
Es casi imposible saber lo que pasa a distancia. En muchos casos las raíces, acostumbradas a una tierra de contenedor, no aprecian el cambio al suelo y no consiguen compensar la evapotranspiración de las hojas a pleno sol. Tal vez intentar protegerla un poco del sol hasta que consiga adaptarse (si, por un acaso, es ese el problema, pero pueden ser otras las razones)...
