Thanks Patrick, The video was made this way because of a request from a teacher who wanted it for her students. It had a lot of information, especially for those who are pursuing agricultural careers.
I can sense the teacher and passion... I could easily follow. You touched concepts that I haven't teach... Like preserving moisture when gathering scion and the part about the discolouration and pathogens. I also loved your charge at the end... To plant a tree. 👍
I am delighted to know that i was able to share a little of what I know with you. You are right about sensing the teacher and passion. I taught at Knockalva Agricultural School for a year. Thanks for your kind words and I hope you will share this video with your friends, family members and associates who have an interest in this area.
Very well presented Sir. You have done a thorough outline on how to go about selecting and doing the graft. Nothing beats learning from someone who knows what they are doing. Thank you.
I am glad that I was able to present the method in a way that was easy to follow and would therefore guarantee results to anyone doing it. I hope that you will not hesitate to recommend the video to members of your social groups. Please encourage them that if they are pleased with the presentation then they should not hesitate to give the video a thumbs-up or like, subscribe to the channel and they should also share with their friends.
Gosh your wealth of knowledge is fully evident in this grafting video. Thank you for sharing in this thorough manner. Looking forward to more vids. I'm from Barbados just next door to you in Jamaica since we both have only a dry & wet season when would you recommend the best season to graft trees or is it normally based on the non fruiting season (dormancy) of the fruit tree?
Thanks for your question Geriann. - In previous years, we only had the wet and dry seasons to deal with, however, with the advent of climate change, increasing temperatures in mid May to mid October have made grafting more difficult to "Take" or grow out. Notwithstanding, some grafts will still grow during this period, especially if adequate shade can be provided, however the percentage of successful grafts could be extremely low at this time of the year. I have had my best results for grafts done December to April. Even though some of our fruit trees displayed some dormancy, the period is usually very short and you can always find a few suitable scions or buds available for grafting.
@@bestfruitsinjamaica9295 ok I'll check it out & see if it works for me. Sometimes I get the scion rotting maybe due to too much moisture in the bag I don't know plus do you think the whip & tongue is better than the wedge graft due to the increased surface area it provides between the scion & rootstock? Is it a graft you would recommend a beginner like me start with or should I start with the wedge graft instead?
If you are a beginner, I would suggest that you use Cleft Graft, most times whip and tongue has a greater area of cut surfaces thus running the risk of greater chances of contamination. Always remember to sterilize your tools before grafting.
Very good tutorial Raymond
