Great video! You didn't have those cutters at the Keeper's event. lol How long should I wait for a graft to see if it's going to take? The one I did at the Keeper's event seems to be just sitting there. I planted it and have kept it moist and in the shade.
The cutters were delivered after Keepers. I would have thought that it would be pushing growth by now. Did you graft an apple or pear? My pear aren’t pushing much growth yet
Thx, enjoyed watching technique and grafting tips. Question: is there a better time of the year to make grafts? When to plant out roots stock? I've had good success with fig air layers and cuttings.
When grafting figs, it's ideal to use dormant scion wood and graft to actively growing trees. Or you can do a bud graft of an active growing bud to an active growing rooststock tree. I don't graft figs because of the risk of the top dying during the winter and the rootstock coming back.
Is Mr. Stephenson still alive? I saw your interview with him last year and learned so much about the old southern apples. I would love to have the Shell and Cauley because the Anna and Dorset Golden can't handle our humidity, both something like powdery mildew and I don't think liquid copper will fix whatever has infected them. The Granny Smith is doing okay but had only two blooms this year and dropped them shortly after blooming, it's still a young tree and I'll have to see how it goes. Tell me where I can get the Apples grown in the deep Deep south.
Where are you located? I have Shell for sale but I'm out of Cauley, and yes Larry Stephenson is still alive and selling trees lol. You can find him on Facebook.
No problem, we are just above Pensacola, Fl. Feel free to email us at FlomatonFamous@gmail.com Yes I can ship the trees. They are in a 4"x4"x9" tree pot and the trees are between 2-3 ft tall. I have a few that I grafted last year. They are $25 a piece plus the cost of shipping.
Thats awesome. Thanks for the lesson.
Glad you liked it!

@@FlomatonFamous It's a southern Bartlett. I really didn't expect my first graft to make it anyways. lol
Ok, my pear aren’t growing yet either.

Thank you, for most trees that go dormant, grafting is primarily done when the tree is breaking dormancy. What tree are you specifically asking about?
@@FlomatonFamous Fig trees

@@FlomatonFamous I don't fb, and I live just south of Dothan Alabama. Are you in central Al or farther north? Do you ship your apple trees?

@@FlomatonFamous does the Shell need a pollinator?
@@Maria-ql3fc it’s self fertile but you’ll get way more fruit with a pollinator
Do you have an email that I can use to contact you?
