How to Graft Small Scions onto Big Branches!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2022
- Peaches, Plums, Apricots, Cherries, Nectarines, and Pluots are all graft compatible! You can graft all of them onto each other! In this video, I graft some pluot cuttings / scions onto a plum tree. These grafts were done in March 2022. I did a few grafts onto this same tree a month ago, and they are all starting to take. Those grafts are shown in the beginning of the video.

Love your passion for grafting. Thanks for sharing your experience. I grafted probably 15 different apple scion varieties onto a several very mature pacific crabapple trees. Some scions are about 2ft now and thriving. Amazing. At this growth rate im guessing some will flower next year which would be awesome.
Great! Apple grafting is very entertaining I'm sure.
@@AJTheGraftMan part science part art when top working trees. Fun.
I've been using bark graft to top work mango (multi grafted), cherimoya (multi grafted atemoya), pomelo, apricot to donut peach . My favorite graft!
Great job! Thanks.
Nice to see someone who gets as excited as I do about grafts! I did tongue and groove last year, putting pears on my green apple tree. I will try this technique to put red apples on my tree now. Thank you!
Awesome! Good luck with the grafts
So i have tried this now… in 14 days i hope to see suksess . Apple tree. 😊
😀
Thank you for precise clear and revealing demonstration of grafting.
My pleasure. Thanks!
Thanks for the demonstration.
Good work, AJ 👍
Good job cousin!
Thanks !
Thank you very much for your tips. I bought the grafting tape from the link you had. I will try it out. Wish me luck.
Good luck with your grafting!
Aaaaweesooooomee, job. Graft man, you got a new fan. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🙋🙋🙋
Thank you for your kind and wonderful comment. Means a lot 👍🏼🌴
very nice
Nice
Just FYI,
When doing a bark graft be sure to bevel the edges where you cut with the saw before you do your graft..
This will allow more the cambium to help heal the cut off of the trunk faster 👍
What do you mean by "bevel the edges"?

Like your enthusiasm. Interesting that you don’t use grafting wax
Thanks I might try it in the future
You make it look so easy, it seems the bark graft with an older tree seems to have a higher take rate from what I've seen. Have you seen that also?
Yeah it seems to work really well on older trees, thanks to the established root system and energy flow in the branches. It’s amazing how fast and vigorous these small scions grow on these older trees. A few years back I did an avocado graft on the stump of a 30 year old tree. That scion grew eight feet in one year!
I am gonna try it on my mango
Nice, AJ! Love bark grafts. They work out so well. I bought wax to seal the large openings these days. Much quicker to just paint it on and let it dry. Best of luck.We love Plutos, especially the Flavor king and Flavor Grenade, boy are they great fruit, and the Spice Zee is a great piece of fruit as well. Let me know if you need budwood of Flavor King and Flavor Grendade. I have 2 large trees of them both. Both must be 8-10 feet tall. We also love the Splash pluot as well. Smaller fruit but very sweet and kiddos love them, great flavor.
Thanks! I like the wax too, but I ran out of it. Gotta get more. I'm looking forward to trying some of this fruit, especially the Spice Zee Nectaplum. Thanks for the offer. I'm interested in the Flavor Grenade pluot. Been looking for scions for a while. Thanks
I got bee wax too. How do you apply it? It is solid. I can melt it, but then it is too hot. Thanks
the issue with peaches is the bark can be very thin, easily breaks and hard to work with. I had to use other tape to keep the parafilm from unwrapping.
I haven’t experienced this. I’ll pay attention for it next time I Graft peaches
Where did you get the scions?
When you wrap the scion you wrap it completely including the buds?
Great tutorial.
For wedge grafts, how long until I take off the grafting tape?
I can see the juices under the tape, (it's been 6 weeks), do I take it off?
The tape should start to disintegrate on its own. It takes a few months though. If you want, you can remove the tape after you're sure the graft has taken and the first growth flush from the scion has fully matured (full sized leaves have formed on the scion).
Nice to see a fruit tree grafting video from southern California. We had a couple dozen fruit trees there when I was a kid. Any follow up on the pluots?
The pluot grafts grew very vigorously the first year, but no fruit. I pruned the growth back a little bit and I expect some fruit this year
Hi! Do you leave just one scion for central leader growing habit?
Hi! You can if you want, but it’s not necessary
Would that work on figs ?
Yes certainly
How about on an avocado tree? Does it work?
Yes
how many rolls of parafilm did you use?
Like 6 or 7
lol@@AJTheGraftMan
Flavor Queen has not been very productive for us. The brix is very high, averaging 28, with some fruit surpassing 30. imo the flavor is just not there. extremely sweet but not much more. it's my least favorite pluot. Flavor king, and flavor grenade are much more flavorful and productive. Cool grafting btw
Wish I knew this before I did these grafts. I believe I did some Flavor King grafts onto this tree. They're on other branches. I think I also did a variety called Dapple Supreme. I've been looking for Flavor grenade for a while. Hope to find it soon. Thanks for the info!
Nice job!!! I enjoyed watching your videos. Do you think this’ll be successful for atemoya? Thanks 🙏
Thanks :) yes it can work with atemoya
Can you send me a pm?
I can’t . You can email me though ajsgarden123@gmail
