You always present such good information regarding grafting and orchard care. Thank you. You are such an inspiration in your logical and expert techniques.
So cool, thank you for sharing! If I broke a tree like that I would have thought nothing could be done! Now I know better :D It will be fantastic if even the rooted tree makes it.
Hi, Inger. Thanks for the comment. With the good development it has, the root system has probably grown enough to sustain all those leaves, so it probably will make it. If it will adapt well and it produces good fruit, on its own roots, its another matter. There are many reasons to use dedicated rootstocks when growing apple trees (tree size, disease resistance, soil adaptation, fruit size, etc) and these modern varieties might not do so well without the help of a good rootstock. We will see.
Extremely thanks to you sir I am also a farmer I love to modify such type of grafting method .soooo thank you for your support and advice on you tube channel. You are really most talented person and thanks a lot for your support
If you are talking about the rooted trunk, the root might be enough for it to survive, but it will never be so strong as a dedicated rootstock. These are selected to resist diseases and drought.
They will always be weaker than a non grafted trunk but you have to consider that the graft was only 3 years old and it was hit by a 400 pound machine with lots of torque.
That is absolutely amazing. To get that far with success is wonderful. Regardless of what happens in future, it is so marvellous, so much healthy life force.
A very useful video. I have a young apple tree 3 years) that has damage just below the graft caused by strimming. It is still healthy and bearing fruit for the first time this year, but starting to lean because of the wound & I'm afraid it will eventually break at this point. I wonder just to stake it to support the weak area & hope it will eventually thicken up and strengthen. Or if there is some kind of 'bandage'/ elastic tape I can wrap around it for support. Or if I should build up soil around it and hope it forms new roots above the wound/graft. The latter is a bit difficult because it's on a slope, but I could wrap an 'airpot' around it filled with soil. Very grateful for your advice.
Stacking is probably the better option. If the damage is not extensive, the trunk will eventually thicken up as you said. Building a mount doesn't seem practical by your description. Good luck with your tree.
I can't believe I only just found this channel. This is the best resource I have found on youtube for growing apple trees. I searched through your videos for answer to my question but I could not find one. What is the best treatment for powdery mildew? I have 200 trees, and around 10 of them are severely affected by this disease. Are there any particular sprays or treatments that you recommend?
Hi. Thanks for the nice comment. In some areas Powdery mildew can be a real nuisance. Nevertheless, after the trees are installed it mainly affects fruit production in my area. I rarely try to treat it after its installed (the results are usually poor and you have to use a good brand fungicide - I had to apply one this year with all the moist and hot weather we are having). Nevertheless, I prefer to do 1 or 2 winter treatments instead, to get rid of most of the spores, so next year infestation is lighter and easier to control. I use an old and tested winter treatment "Calda Bordalesa" (Bordeaux fungicide treatment) which uses copper sulfate, hydrated lime and water. You can buy it prepared and just add water of make your own. It can also be applied during the season in some cases, but its a bit aggressive for some fruit trees and they might drop their fruits or leaves, so its mainly a winter treatment. Enjoy the channel.
That was amazing,you've inspired me to try this technique😃you're an awesome grafter you can get any thing to grow..🌳🍁🌲🪴🌱☘🍀🌺🌹🌵😄 Thank you for sharing!!😊
As always thanks for the video! I live in a cold pocket in Alentejo and planted a clementine in a place next to our ruin to see if it would work. Then by accident I cut it with the rossadera....🦁 Can you give me a tip on which citrus to grow in place where it can freeze pretty hard in the winter and perhaps a link to vendor or rootstock etc? I guess it has to grow few years before it can be grafted on but I'm happy to try. Obrigado pela todo 🤗
Over here most citrus are grafted on Poncirus trifoliata because of some cold-resistance this rootstock has and good compatibility with several citrus varieties (I have several orange, tangerine and clementine grafted on this one). Nevertheless, in colder winters they don't resist so well and can even die when young. Here's some nformation on several citrus rootstocks - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_rootstock#:~:text=It%20is%20vigorous%20and%20highly,grows%20well%20in%20loam%20soil. I am trying to find a vendor for more cold resistant ones (not easy in Portugal). If I find it, I will share it.
I have a Hudson Golden Gem apple that broke at its graft, just like the tree you show in your video. I have been wondering what to do. Even without a rootstock, I can graft the scions onto another tree. Thanks!
Spectacular Video tutorials J. S; if you have a chance please post the link of tools(very sharp knife) and tapes you used for grafting. Thank you for your simplicit process of grafting.
This is one I use - www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Budding-Grafting-Knife-Barklifter/dp/B000AYIYKO. The other is handcrafted ("navalha de enxertia Giberto Ferreira Aveleda") and difficult to find. These are similar - navalhas.pt/pesquisa?controller=search&s=enxertia but probably expensive to order internationally. There other similar brands that might be easy to obtain (Opinel, Tica, etc..)
I’m a beginner but with your help, I’ve managed to graft my first cherry tree ever. It grows very nicely. I was also asking myself if it would be possible to bud graft another cherry variety on fresh green wood from this year . Or should I let mature a little bit until the bark turns brown?
Hi, Dragos. Off course you can graft more than one variety. I have an older cherry tree with several different varieties grafted, that I added overtime. Nevertheless, I always grafted them while the tree was dormant. You might try bud grafting on some of those green branches, but beware that cherry trees might start producing a resin based sap from wounds, when not in full dormancy. If they start doing that, you might have to prune the grafted branch below the graft point, to avoid further problems.
Thanks very good informative video .I have two very old trees (Canada grey) apple.. Which are too big would like to rejuvenate them. But any hard pruning results in skyward shoots and no apples. Not many videos on the subject. Any advice 😀
Check some of my videos on pruning to learn heading and thinning techniques. Combined, these will reduce vigor and reinforce the production of flower/fruit buds. Heading to lateral branches, for instance, leaves thin, less vigorous branches and avoids that unwanted response. - ruclips.net/video/buziSuLiUhY/видео.html
I have a small peach tree that was girdled by moles. It's currently April in NY and I'm not seeing many/any buds. When should I try grafting to the rootstock? Now or wait? My other peach has Big buds about to flower. Also my scions won't be very big, unless I take from older wood. How woody is too Woody?
🙋♂️👍👍👍Excellent results! Do you have any experience in grafting / occulting mulberry trees? It is not always possible to vaccinate mulberries...Can you share your secrets, about the deadlines, perhaps the nuances, etc...I would be very grateful!

Hi JSacadura, are you interested in sharing the growing skill with grow light?
What tipe of grafting knife do you use?
Ok
This is one of that most beautiful and inspiring videos I have ever watched in RUclips.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.
The best fruit tree grafting and advice you can find anywhere. Thank you so much.
U got success in all ur options 👏
You always present such good information regarding grafting and orchard care. Thank you. You are such an inspiration in your logical and expert techniques.
I'm glad you find my videos useful. Thanks for the nice comment.
Mister Sacadura is the grafting master on youtube. Thanks to your videos, my first mango and passion fruit grafts succeeded!
So glad I could help in your grafting success, but calling me a "master grafter" is stretching it a bit. I am just a fruit tree enthusiast. 😊
Keep up the great videos!
wish I had this amount of success with all my endeavors, Cheers to you
Precise and helpful. I've used the third method to split a young rootstock into two successfully. Thanks again.
Excellent job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
Thank you very much for giving such wonderful ideas to preserve the precious germplasm. Otherwise it would have been lost.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

Amazing! Beautiful work 😊
Thanks for posting this. I have learned a lot from your videos. It's good to know about these techniques.
You're welcome. I'm glad you find my videos useful. Thanks for the comment.
Such a good video.
Not to mention your voice is very calm n soothing

Extremely thanks to you sir I am also a farmer I love to modify such type of grafting method .soooo thank you for your support and advice on you tube channel. You are really most talented person and thanks a lot for your support
It's my pleasure. Thanks for the comment.
If it would be possible I would like the video twice, I like it so much
Oh! I'm so glad to see such positive results!!
This was awesome. Glad all your methods worked. A critter chewed my mango plant in half so Im hoping I can graft the two parts together again.
Thank you for teaching me. Kind regards
Thanks for sharing this method to us sir. Now the grafting tree have a strong root..
If you are talking about the rooted trunk, the root might be enough for it to survive, but it will never be so strong as a dedicated rootstock. These are selected to resist diseases and drought.
A good illustration of how graft unions will always be weak. I shall be careful even after they "heal" :)
They will always be weaker than a non grafted trunk but you have to consider that the graft was only 3 years old and it was hit by a 400 pound machine with lots of torque.
JSacadura This is fair, I should have said weak'er'
Thank you for the information. Glad you had success in all options.
Great video! Thank you very much for sharing. Blessings to you and yours from Georgia, Cathy
I’m blow away by this it’s brilliant
That is absolutely amazing. To get that far with success is wonderful. Regardless of what happens in future, it is so marvellous, so much healthy life force.

Did you spray the young struggling ones with aphids with anything? Soap? Neem oil? Just water or something else? Ty!
Хорошо, что удалось спасти яблоньку!
Yes. I know have 3 plants😎.
What greyish paste did you apply to waterproof the whole grafted area?
Its a resin based pruning paste (the brand is Arbokol).
