- The Bridge Grafting Technique can be used to save a fruit tree that was damaged by animals restoring the flow of sap and rebuilding the vascular tissues, bypassing the affected area. With this grafting technique your fruit tree will remain healthy and productive, otherwise, depending on the damage, it will stop growing and can even die.

Hello,
i'm a fruit variety collector and grower from Estonia. I have a goal to preserve old and endangered varieties.
I have a small orchard, while watching your videos i have seen some intesting and unique fruit tree varieties what i would like to try to grow here too.
Are you open to exchangig grafting material?
Best regards
Jegor
Sorry. I'm unable to exchange grafting material at the moment. Maybe in the future. Thanks for the comment.
Does the tree have to use its own branches or can another apple tree be used?
@@BBDoesTheThing It does not need to be from the same tree. The same variety will have the best graft compatibility but most apples will graft together with good success.
Is it possible to leave a bud on the bypass graft if I want to have growth in the area?
You gave a tree a coronary artery bypass, I'm impressed.
Because the left main coronary artery was clogged
2 trees !
I like your video..thank ...from Indonesia..
After watching this video, I used this technique on a very young tree. A rabbit had nearly bitten through the trunk! 2 weeks later, the tree is still alive, and the branches are strong with green leaves. Here's hoping the tree fully recovers, and stays healthy!
So glad people like you are out there!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your support.
I would love to see the result of this bridge graft after one or two years, because I never had before. My own bridge grafts didn't succeed, so I am very interested in learning from successful bridge graft examples.
This is absolutely fantastic ! I never would have thought of this. This is the most useful channel on grafting on RUclips ! Your simply the best. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the nice comment.
Would you mind showing the results after a year or two?
Got me interested!
Will do. Thanks for the comment.
If you search for "Bridge Grafting Historic Fruit Trees
" you`ll see some pretty wild results in the second half of the video. Never knew that was possible either
Same here. I hit my pear sapling with my weed wacker. and now it looks like something was chewing on it.
@@BrianBerriosOne same here, just with an apricot tree. Tomorrow I will make the surgery.
@@roiq5263 My dog rolled over on his back and chewed on a young sapling fruit tree as a toy. Last week I did a bark graft to install another branch below the wound. I did not join the two ends as this is a graft of another species of fruit tree.
You are a magician and surgeon all in one. Bravo!
I've been watching a whole lot of your videos lately; I plan to get fruit trees as soon as possible. Thanks for all your work!
Omg this is amazing. I never know you can fix this damage wide tissues. In the past I have been using wood wax, iv organic paint, electrical tape to cover the long wound. You are so talented. Thank you for your educated us. Using nail will not harm the tree?.
I didn't know this was even possible. WIshed I knew sooner, I could of saved a lot of fruit trees. :)
I did this on a young Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus, about 4 inches in diameter at ground level) when it got girdled with a string weed trimmer. It worked so well. I put 3 bridges on it. The weed whacking 'accident' happened in the spring, when the bark was slipping well. So I cut a young branch where it joined the tree. Then I cut slivers of the branch and inserted them like you did with the twigs. It healed up so fast and after a couple years it was hard to tell where the damage had been. Unfortunately, after a few years of rapid growth, the top of the tree broke off in a storm, and the tree is taking a few years to die because it won't use a side branch as a new leader. But that bridge graft trick worked so well!
Hi. Sorry for what happened to your tree. Thanks for the interesting comment and sharing of your experience with the bridge grafting technique. Fortunately, rabbits and other creatures have only damaged young trees, so I don't need to do several bridge grafts to the same trunk, but in larger trees its a must to be effective.
Best bridge grafting video I have found by far....thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.
This is the first time I've seen this , thank you my friend !
I can't believe I never thought of this, you've allowed me to save a few of my fruit trees!
This is the first time I've seen this way live. 👍And the knife is probably the most trump card of the entire collection. With a scold like a razor👍🤝
Thank you for communicating and photographing so perfectly how to do this form of grafting. I look forward to any other vids you produce.
I had only ever seen illustrations of this method, never a video. Thank you very much!
You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment and support.
To save the fruit trees, it's good action. Thus we save the rare plants and trees. Thanks for your video.
Wow wow wow! Genius!! Thank you so much for the sharing of your knowledge!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Very interesting. The first time I have seen this method. So glad I found you...lots of tricks to learn.
Thank you very much for share this idea👌🇳🇵
Thank You so Much for the information recently lot of my trees suffered due to unusual early snow and I ended up loosing lot of branches this will help me recover many of them
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment.
I have seen all your videos countless times. I like how detailed, easy to follow and understand. Your videos are interesting well made and with good captions. Can you show how this graft healed in future videos? Thanks and regards, from Malta.
Glad you like them! Will add your suggestion to my list. Thanks for the comment and the support.
This is very clever! Love it! I learn so much from your channel. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment and the support.
Thank you for this video, I wish I saw it sooner because just a month ago I cut down a tangerine tree that was damaged while mowing the grass and didn’t do anything for over 2,5 years and I gave up on it. I know what to do now if need be. Thank you!
Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, these videos take a lot of time to make and I still hadn't got the time to cover this issue before.
Sir, you don't know, How much I love your videos.. full of information, with so much calmness.. it's like, I am meditating. U taught me proper way of Grafting. Thanks a lot ..
It takes a long time to perform this graft with such surety; I aspire to do this as quickly one day
Thank you for sharing. This might come in handy for saving a heavily damaged tree I am trying to care for that was neglected.
You are welcome! Good luck with your tree.
Thank you I learned a lot from your videos last year I did some fruit grafting and it was a success thanks to your videos, I'm doing more grafts this year just because it's fun and easy.
Yes, it is. When you start having success, its even a bit addicting and you just keep adding new varieties to the home orchard.
Amazing how skillful the person doing the grafting is. Thanks for sharing.
Love the classic old country style music on your videos.
Very nice video. That’s another level. As I watched all your videos. It feels like we moved from first year to second year in our grafting degree.
Wow, thank you! Although most basic techniques are everything most people will ever need in their home orchard, I really do feel that my viewers are ready for a few, more complicated, grafting techniques, that are useful from time to time. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much for this video! Didn’t even think about this. It will save many of my trees
Glad it was helpful! I realize many people are not familiar with this technique and sometimes cut down a damaged tree because it stopped growing or doesn't produce as it used any more. I'm glad I finally had the time to make this video.
I knew IT was possible but now I know exactly how to do it!
Very helpful and clear - I will try today!
So glad you shared this knowledge with us! Keep up the great videos.
We planted an Ornamental Crabtree "Profusion" last year and tied it down with rubber covered wire attached to 3 separate stakes to keep the tree stable in bad weather here in Nebraska. I removed the stakes today, one year later. Ooops....the rubbered covered wire was tied way too tight in 2 spots which left the outer bark bare and imprints of basically tree
strangulation. How can i doctor these two wounds? Will moss do it? If so, how long do I keep the moss attached to those two areas on this beautiful tree?
Brilliant example of a really valuable tree surgery technique.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment and the support.
You are a wealth of grafting knowledge! Thank you for sharing it with us in an easy to understand, no nonsense manner.
I'm glad you found the video useful. Thanks for the comment.
You are a master.
Omg you’re a genius! Love watching all your videos.
This is pure genius
It would be good to see how it looks a year later, and perhaps a few years after that. Thanks for sharing the technique.
I'm so glad I found this! I'm going to try to save the branches on a young weeping cherry tree chewed up by squirrels.
Great video I'm new to grafting and have many fruit trees in back yard.
Thank you, the video is very good and clean, easy to understand . now I will try on 4 of my trees that were planted last summer and hope It works for the trees. The trees are still dormant the damage is severe " here's hoping" Thanks again!
Thank you the best
Boa noite, meu amigo!
Parabéns, você é fera demais!
Um grande abraço aqui do Brasil!
Thank you so much for sharing your admirable grafting technique!
So nice of you! Thanks for the comment.
@@JSacadura It is a sincere pleasure to see such a remarkable mastery giving a tree a new chance to life!
Dedication to the trees amazing..
Wow didn't even know such technique existed!
Thanks for a great video , here in east central Georgia. Deer have damaged my rootstocks.
Emeğinize sağlık.Her şey çok güzel,teşekkür ederim.
Nunca tinha pensado nisto... Obrigado
A ideia é precisamente alertar para a possibilidade de salvar uma árvore já instalada quando é danificada por qualquer razão. Nem toda a gente conhece este tipo de enxerto.
Great instructional video 👍
Great video! I would love to see a follow-up on how the trees are doing today. Do you have a part 2 video with an update? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I had never heard of this, very fascinating! I would love to see the results and I’ll definitely try it on some trees that need help. It was very relaxing and educational to watch and I like your accent.
That's amazing
I would never have thought to save a tree in this manner. Always impressed with Mr. Sacadua's knowledge and skill.
*edit*
It would have been nice to see a tree that had been repaired a few years earlier to see what the scarring and regrowth was like.
I had older trees with this repair that were replaced so, sadly, that means no results to show in the video, for now. Fortunately, in recent years, I have been able to keep the creatures from damaging my trees, so I had no need to use the bridge graft until recently. In most cases, over the years, the branches grow wide and cover most of the area and some grafts might even start to be difficult to see.
JSacadura is youtube's indiscussed grafting king
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video,the question is, can i do the bridge graft on a olive tree and in what Mounth can o do it,i'm in south Italy,thank you very much.
Thanks. This technique can be used in most trees, olive trees included. The bark should be slipping with an active flow of sap so, spring is a good season to do it.
Thank you very much for having responded with solicituded.👋
Very interesting, thanks.
I have an apple tree with the Scion growing strongly and the rootstock hardly growing at all.
I think I shall have to pile up earth around it so that the Scion grows on its own roots, or else I shall have to grow another rootstock alongside, bare the bark of both, bind them together and hope they graft. I would appreciate your advice.
Very vigorous varieties grafted to slow growing rootstocks can end up breaking at the grafting point. I probably would plant a more robust rootstock and use the last procedure you described (approach grafting) to reinforce or replace the support for the variety.
I would like to know how you determine how many sions to put on the wound of the tree. My young Poplar tree has lost close to half of its bark around the base of the trunk. It is in serious condition. Leaves had begun to die. I hope that with your detailed and excellent video, I will be able to conduct the surgery-- the bridge graft. Thank you so much again! Best video I have seen so far on this topic! Keep it up!
Awesome video, very very interesting!
Can you make a follow up video so that we can see how did it work and how does this effect the tree? I will appreciate it
keep up the excellent work on the channel!
Amazing knowledge! Beautiful Surgery!
Fantastic! I just purchased a home with eight neglected apple trees. One of them has a very, very large scar with rot, near the base of the tree. The trunk diameter is approximately 10 to 12 inches at this point, and I would estimate over half of this is bad. Right now, based on your video, I would think I would need a large number of grafts to bridge that scar. Have you ever repaired this extent of damage using this technique before? I feel I must do something- I doubt the tree will survive another two seasons based on its overgrown size, proportions, and shape- it leans significantly away from the scar as well. I'd love to see an update to this video and hear your advice on this!
thanks
I really like your channel and your voice and narration
I'm glad you find it useful. Thanks for the comment.
Great video as usual! Thank you!
the video is so good
i would love to see an update of how this looks healed
Didn't even know this was possible! Thanks.
Lots of people are not familiar with this very useful technique. One of the main reasons I did the video. Thanks for the comment and the support.
Very great technique, always admire your contents, so useful and helpful 🌱☘🌿🍃
Thank you so much for teaching us this interesting technique! Do you have a part 2 showing the results after 2 years?
Excellent
Maan guye baat 👍 .
Thank you.This was very helpful👍
excellent
Thanks for the info. I can use this on a few trees.
Perfect! Good luck!
I noticed almost all of your exposed cambium is placed against the bark. When you split the bark is the cambium on the bark or the wood? Or does it matter on the age of the tree or time of year where the cambium is attached?
Sorry. I missed your question. The cambium layer is very thin and you can find it on the wood when you lift the bark. That's why all the scion cuts are always placed against the wood.
Olá amigo! Há cerca de ano e meio furaram um pinheiro manso que eu tenho com uma broca de cerca de 3 ou 4 cm de largura. O furo é profundo, deve ter 15 ou 20 centimetros e está mais ou menos ao nível do solo, 5 centimetros acima do solo, talvez. A árvore tem uns 25 anos. A árvore está viva mas parece que está a secar lentamente, tem metade ou um terço das agulhas verdes de uma árvore saudável. Tem alguma sugestão para recuperar a árvore? Será que esta técnica de enxertia poderia funcionar? Muito obrigado e parabéns pelos videos soberbamente bem feitos e cheios de sabedoria, do melhor que há no youtube!
New member, very interesting channel, keep up the good work. I am
interested of getting new varieties of fruit trees cuttings, wonder if you can
help ? of course I'll advance you to cover any expenses.
رەحمەتت لێبێت، دەستەکانت خۆش بێت
Great video. Copied the approach exactly for my lemon tree after accidentally girdling it with vaseline to stop ants / aphids. Two things... you forgot to remind us the keep the scion the right way round (although I guess for a bridge graft this is ok?) And I wonder if the bevelled side should face outward to be against the bark? Thx 👍
Waoo very nice 👍
My kumkat plant same as your fruit tree damage .
I will try . Yours way.
Best of luck. Thanks for the comment.
Very nice video sharing. Thanks you
Will you do an update on how these grafts look now and how well they took?
Great 👍🏽
I’d love to see an update on these
Please show how these trees look one or more years later.
good video thx
What time of year is best for this? And does the tape ever need to be removed?
👍 отлично!
Desconhecia esta técnica, é muito útil. Mais uma vez, muito obrigado pela partilha e um bom ano!
Obrigado pelo comentário. Emanuel. Um bom 2021 para si também.
What if you would LIKE a new branch there? Can you leave a bud there? Does it completely cover the hole or is there still an open place on the trunk? Or does it only just give it more strength like a brace?
very good , ok
Thank you very much for your videos. They're very informative and helpful. I do have a question though, can a sucker that is growing out of the rootstock be used to graft onto the grafted section of a tree? I have a lemon tree that has a lot of damaged bark around the trunk, but it is still growing, just a lot slower. I've noticed that the rootstock has started to send out new shoots and was wondering if these could help save the tree?
...Foi dos videos que mais gostei de ver...vou fazer isto em duas macieiras e uma pereira .
É uma boa técnica para possuirmos no nosso arsenal. Por aqui, os coelhos têm feito das suas e, assim, evito perder as árvores já instaladas.
@@JSacadura Jaime muito obrigado por não ser invejoso.
I know that you know what you are doing but every time I watch a video I am amazed that you still have fingertips left.
When I started grafting, most of the cuttings I received were very small and slim. Some were very precious and rare varieties. Using the most common cuttings methods used by professional grafters (sideways, etc.) was out of the question. These are, usually, only valid when you have regular size scions and abundant material to work with. So I developed my own cutting method, to preserve every inch of my precious cuttings.
I admit, not very safe, if you don't know what you are doing. That's why I published a video on Safety when doing grafting cuts - ruclips.net/video/-AsaxoqzU88/видео.html.
Nevertheless, the method I use is quite safe, provided you use a very sharp grafting knife (don't try it with a dull knife!). Its a matter of supporting the scion and ease the knife over it, letting her do all the work. No need to worry about my fingertips.😉
@@JSacadura Thank you for posting the link to the video on cutting technique. Now I can see how you are making those cuts safely. I have learned so much from your videos but had not seen the one on safety. Thank you!
