There is a massive fruiting pear (maybe 40-50 ft tall) growing behind a dumpster at my local dunkin donuts and I would love to graft it. It drops hundreds maybe thousands of pounds of fruit. I am going to try to graft it next spring with this method. thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this video! When the scion and the grafting stock are both that thin, I would go with a whip and tongue. You could also cut down that Bradford and bark graft several (2 or 3) edible fruit scions to the stump. (Just keep the one that is doing the best and cut off the others). It looks like that is the graft technique you used at 15:15 right? Also love your multi-variety franken-tree!
yes, that was a bark graft. I also do whip and tongue for most of my propagation's. Thanks for watching. I have other grafting video's showing the other techniques.
I am about to cut down a large Bradford Pear (1 foot in diameter trunk). Any tips on how to best graft onto it? is it better to graft onto the cut trunk or let suckers grow up and graft the suckers?
@@FlomatonFamous thanks! If I cut the tree down in the winter would I be able to make another fresh cut on the stump in the spring to do the bark graft?
Great video! Are there other types of plants you can graft to a Bradford pears or does it have to be pears? The two I would most likely consider would be apple or dogwood.
I've been grafing them trees for awhile now because there every where's I've been turning them into pear trees most of them all the way down let them send out new branches graft one so the whole tree will be a pear tree
You don't have to use dormant Scion wood get new growth off of a pear tree take all the leaves off and graft it the stick it will regrow new leaves. I found that out just trying it out and it works so good
Man I love your sense of humor!!! Love that you dont take yourself to darn serious!! Good video!! - Rick
Hahaha, those videos are fun. Thanks for watching
Can you provide an update on how this grafted tree looks now-2 years later?
Sure will, time for a grafting update video anyway. I should have one posted in a few days.

If you have plenty of scion wood, I would do a few bark graft around the trunk. Then plan to graft root suckers if it doesn’t work

@@kr7799 yes. Just cut down to fresh green wood
🤣🤣 hilarious! Love it
Thanks! Thanks for watching!

No, it has to be a pear.
Did I understand right- kieffer pear is the proper name for a sand pear.. ive been looking for a sand pear with no luck but have seen kieffers
Kieffer is a sand pear. Not all sand pears are Kieffer.
Chickasaw Sand Plum (1" orange red plums) we call them here. Keifer Pear are a large hard winter pear
Wtf is going in with your beard ?
I’m going to say you have a wife who knits or crochets? 🤔
Haha, good guess but no, we picked it up somewhere

It's kinda gratifying isn't it lol. I will be doing more as I grow more scion wood.
