How to Graft a Japanese Maple

This is a how to video on grafting Japanese Maples. I take you step by step through the entire grafting process. In this video I graft a Crimson Queen dwarf Japanese Maple. There are different techniques to be used for different varieties but this is how we graft a dwarf Japanese Maple. This is just the first of many grafting videos that we plan on releasing, so be on the lookout for future grafting videos discussing these topics in more detail. We hope you enjoy this video on how to graft a Japanese Maple.

This is awesome. Thanks. Where can I buy root stock? My daughter wants to start grafting our maples.

[@matshagstrom9839]

Hi Michael,
It would be great to see how you do summer grafting if you do. Any thought on when you do this in relationship to bud break. I know some like their root stock to be a little ahead (greenhouse) compared to the scion. There are lots of videos on grafting but not enough about how to make them survive.
Best,
Mats H

[@nicholas7103]

The skin of the rootstock didn't not overlap the scion as it was folded over to the right as you were finalizing the wrapping of the rubber band.

Would a whip and tongue graft work?

[@njw1383]

I grafted some maples a few weeks ago using this method but the grafts dont seem to be growing. How long does it usually take before ill know if its worked or not?

[@tadaskabliukas2797]

when do you prepare the material for vaccinations ?

[@Mr51Caveman]

I keep hearing "rootstock". What is that?

[@RCCRAYZ]

I'm here from your video on Facebook. Do you know a website where I can order rootstock from? I've been looking and cant find a decent website

What time of year are you doing this? Now (February)?

[@mapleridgenursery6184]

We graft through February and into March. Then we graft again starting in mid-June through the beginning of September.

[@avalancheadenium]

Feb is much better time for grafting ? i did it in the middle of this summer .... 16 subjects ... no succession from any of them ... all of them down .... i did cover them after grafting and put my giant black maple in the shade

[@stuartxu8069]

maybe you should try the soft-wood new growth?

[@andrewclancy8834]

What's your post graft care?

[@mapleridgenursery6184]

Andrew Clancy I didn’t want to get into it in the video but I did discuss our post graft care in our latest article on the subject: japanesemaplesandconifers.com/maple-ridge-musings/2020/2/10/how-to-graft-a-japanese-maple

All these videos assume you have rootstock kicking around out back. Why just tell half the story!
