- Most apple and other fruit trees are made up of two components, or two separate trees. The roots come from a root stock tree which is chosen for its disease resistance, flowering time and other factors. The trunk and branches start off as a clipping of a thin, young branch from a fruiting tree with the type of fruit you'd like to grow. That small branch is called "fruitwood". #orchardpeople #fruittreegrafting #grafting
In this video, Ken Roth from Silver Creek Nurseries in Ontario demonstrates how to use chip budding to graft a new tree. He should know! He creates thousands of new trees each year in this way.

Great video! I just purchased my first rootstock with the intention of doing some espalier pear and plum. I saw a nursery espalier that used bud/chip grafts for the laterals of the cordon espalier and want to do the same.
My concern is working on a small caliper rootstock so I will grow the rootstock all summer and try this fall. Long growing season here in the deep south US (last freeze usually February , first freeze November).
Have you tried budding multiple buds on one small rootstock?
Also on your video here the chip is narrower than the rootstock cut. Don't you have to line up one side of the chip to make proper cambium contact?
Don't have that fancy rubber seal, but I have grafting tape I will use....I've read conflicting info on whether the bud itself should be covered. On regular grafts (my first year doing this) I usually cover the whole scion to prevent dessication but cut the parafilm around the bud when I see it swelling.
I realize for chip budding you won't see bud break in the fall.....you just want it to heal and be ready for the next spring.
Great questions! I have recently launched a new online grafting workshop with Steph Roth of silver creek nursery. And we did multiple buds on one stem. We will only keep one though. That’s because the tree can then focus all its energy on making that bud a success. If there are lots of grafts to heal, each one will have access to less energy and then they may not succeed. Often people will do multi graft trees as a multiple year project if the rootstock or host plant is young. So
It will increase chances of success that way. A larger tree can support multiple grafts, but usually one per branch/shoot - no more…
How thick is the chip bud? I mean the wood under the bud for higher taking success? Thanks
A chip bud shield itself is quite thin. The cut in the host plant will be maybe 1/3 of the thickness of the budwood max. The bud shield will be the same.
Madam
Please tell me the axact month when the chip bidding done . Reply please . Good video and good demonstrater

@@c.rob2323 Thank you for your reply
what is the product name/source for the rubber ties? thanks - great video
Check out Silvercreek nursery in ontario. They ship to the US too. Glad the video was helpful!
@Orchard People will do. I am in Northern Ireland so may need to find another source
@@conallflickr Good point!!!! Check the local specialist fruit tree nurseries! They will have something that they use...
If I want to make a tree espalier can I bud chip to get lower branches?
Hi
I have espalier with missing lower branches and I've been looking for the same answer. Most demos seem to be using new growth rootstock but my trees are 3 years old ( and a bit more woody, therefore).
I'm going to try it and, if it fails, try notching the trunk above a bud early next spring to see if that will fire up lower growth.
Any recommendations where to order fresh apple buds for grafting?
You can probably find some on local gardening groups or a group like north american scion exchange
Hey, can I contact you for the rootstock?
Hi I don’t sell rootstock but you can source it from a fruit tree nursery here:orchardpeople.com/where-to-buy-fruit-trees/
