Loved this one! I've been grafting for 14 years or more and have successfully top worked stumps, but still very much enjoyed hearing from Charlie, with whom I very much agree. I've also found the side veneer best on near matching or mis-matching diameters and I do the flap "notch" with corresponding "back cut" on the scion at the bottom end of the graft with great success. It's especially best when the recipient branch is not soft, new pliable tissue. Top cleft is fine on young root stock or new shoots that are still soft enough to not split past the cut you make to receive the scion while pushing it into position. Bottom line though, is no matter which technique, it's all about connecting the cambrium of the scion to the cambrium of the recipient tree and sealing in moisture. I noticed that both he and Chris Wentzel don't paint exposed trunks white to avoid sunburn, yet seem to do just fine. So far, the only time I've noticed sunburn on my unpainted exposure is when a horizontal branch runs perpendicular to the sun. I've also found no need to wait for young shoots if bark grafting onto a tree that's young enough to still have soft, thin bark. Thick bark is harder, but soft bark is easy and very successful immediately. I'll still wait for shoots on an older tree. You definitely should revisit Charlie while he is grafting!
I find Charlie to be so humble and willing to share! I appreciate this video. One of the most interesting videos that had me captivated to the TV screen! Thank You both!
Hi Sub Pilot - I need to do multiple grafts on my 20 years trees and I have few seedlings as well. I live in Broward county (Pembroke Pines). Can you possibly help me in doing the grafts and I will pay for your services. Kindly respond. Thanks in advance!
I live in Maui and Lahaina town burnt down last year and there were sooo many mangoes in that town, it was a mango testing ground a long time ago so everyone had mangoes in thier yard, now there are none, we need mangoes big time, i thin k i should start a nursery just for mango and avo, sounds like a dream!! Mahalo for the cool video brother.
Over the weekend I visited a family member in PSL. They have a seed grown mango tree. The mangoes are huge, 2-3lbs. or more, green when fully ripe with a slight yellow undertone. They are very sweet with a creamy citrus/pineapple/passion fruit finish and a slight sour. The flesh has almost no fiber/strings. I plant to graft their tree onto one of my seedlings. It’s August 18, and it’s still holding fruit. We picked 9 of them.
Sorry, those mangoes don't have a rich taste. They are commercial grown. Red/orange not tasteful. But people who don't know like them. Those are supermarket mangoes.supermarket
I’m of the opinion we have climate patterns…not “global warming.” Everything goes through patterns…as God intended. Once in awhile, man tries to play God and mess with things, but generally, there is a reason for patterns. Sometimes it will be extremes in the same year, some years a degree or two cooler than the year before, some years a degree or two warmer than the year before…etc etc.
Love this one i am still learning about grafting been here forty six years love to see true floridians letting us learn from them thanks charlie

It's a Billabong symbol.
