Really nice and informative vid! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. However, if you put your vid on premiere, please join it yorself. RUclips dont like creators that dont join their own premiere. Just a tip if you want to grow your channel.
When is the best time to be doing this please? I’m looking to graft onto a Common juniper. Can you graft onto the trunk or does it have to be on a branch? TIA
Hi Ray, this sort of work is best done just as the trees are waking up. So very late winter. It is important to be able to protect the tree from frost. In principle you can graft on the trunk, but it is a lot trickier. Good luck!
Hi JK, What I understand is that there is a challenge with grafting in fall: Frost. If the callus is not mature enough, there is a risk of the graft freezing off. So.. That remains an open question!
by your video maybe I have to practice this stage to develope my junipers. Thanks for the tutorial
Each process starts with taking the first step!
Very good! Junipers are a challenge!
Good to hear you like it. Feel free to share in your network / club / social media ;).
I am so happy if people feel the content helps them!
very interesting video. never tried grafting but I can see some occasions where this can be useful. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Stefaan, Give it a try. It is one of those techniques where you hardly ever need it. But when you need it, it is good to know how to.
Quite informative and rejuvenating video sir ! Would the grafting be successful if the scion and the recipient are of different juniper varieties ?
Yes, this is exactly the idea of grafting a compact variety on a loose one
How are these doing? After watching this and trying it myself, 3 out of 4 are still alive. I'm hoping they go the distance! Loving your channel!
Great! About half of them took and are growing now. Great to hear your succes so far. Keep me posted!

Thank you so much! I took premiere just as an announcement that a new video was about to be released!
@@GrowingBonsai I understand the thought. But really, dont do it if you want to grow your channel.

Hi Jelle
Another silly question: can you do grafting like now (end of summer or autum) instead doing it in spring time?
🙂

@@GrowingBonsai makes perfect sense. Thank you
