Yes I am still working at it. This one didn’t take. I have tried twice so far. I think I didn’t make my scion flat enough so I will give it another go this spring! Thanks buddy.
Thanks so much. This one is a great saw but it doesn't actually fold. It has a leather holster it goes in. I think this company makes some great folding saws though.
How did the grafts work out!!! From everything I’m reading, sounds like my persimmon seeds that have germinated make the best rootstock money can buy! Then all I need to do is just like you stated, find trees that are heavy producers and also late dropping and then graft those varieties onto most and then also graft a handful of known male trees so that I know exactly which trees will be males and where they need to be centrally located. How did they work so far for you?!?
That sir was a brilliant way to graft was there a reason why you chose that particular way of grafting and the tape did you choose that type for a reason sir
This actually didn’t take but this way should work. I am still learning but this is a easy way to graft if you have a bigger tree. You can also top work limbs but I want this tree to be 100% this variety. I think my scion wasn’t flat enough on the cut so I have to get that right. You need the cambium layers from the tree and the scion to be touching do nutrients can flow from one to the other. I used the flagging tape because that’s what I had on hand. It works good and also helps me be able to see where the tree is from a distance if I have one in the woods. Basically just makes it easier to find. I’ll be trying again this spring. I ordered the scion wood so it might have gotten dried out during shipping. I’ll get some off my property this time. Thanks 🙏
Sorry it didn’t take… I am going to try grafting my native persimmon today with cuttings from a chocolate persimmon… I collected cuttings the first week of January. It’s now the end of March I’m hoping the bark is slipping… timing is everything when grafting… good luck on your next try.
I tried four persimmon trees on my property using late drop scion wood I found in a park near me. All four grew amazingly well - the branches that grew were 12 - 18 inches long. Fantastic success. Then all four died. I have no idea why. But I'll try again this year.

Great video, this is definitely a skill I want to learn.

Yes the the seeds you sprouted will make great rootstock. Unfortunately my grafts failed. I need to try it again. Thanks for checking out the content.
Working on some bark grafting today. Any updates on these?
They unfortunately didn’t make it. Will keep trying!
One year later. How'd you make out?
