Hi Ross. Thanks for posting a link to my video. Seeing your video, i see that i was not clear in a couple of points that might increase your success rate with this technique, namely the way the chip is cut (the bottom angle is very important and having a bit more length above the bud) and the age of the rootstock branch it should be grafted to (young wood with one year gives the best results). These 2 seemingly minor points, might explain a higher rate of dried out chips. I just did a follow-up video (Chip-Bud Grafting in Figs - Part 2) remembering a few of the most important points, to achieve a greater success percentage. I think it may help those we are beginning to use this technique. I hope you don't mind i post the link to it here - th-cam.com/video/syOLsbr4wrM/w-d-xo.html I really appreciate your videos. Keep them coming and take care, my friend.
BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEO BUD GRAFTING I HAVE FIG TREES ONE IN GROUND TWO IN HALF WINE BARRELS MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE BUD GRAFTING TO SUCCESSFUL
Could you please try to put your cam so it records from above so we see what you are doing? Just a suggestion if you have no one to help, because we cant see anything.
You seem to really know your stuff but you talk and talk and talk and the detail we need to learn from you takes forever to get through and is often out of focus or not even there!
Been excited about this graft since I saw Jaime's video over on ourfigs. Have not tried it yet, but it looks like the way to go. Glad to see you're having some success with it.
Hey Ross, great video once again. I have a non related question to this video though, and would love to hear an answer from the expert haha. I bought a fig tree this year, and it started to fruit. I am wondering if this is because of the great weather this year, or it is actually possible to grow figs west facing, zone 8b... Wish I had a southern balcony. Thanks anyway! Have a great day.

Yea I know Jamie. I didn't know his name was Jaime though
Thank you! This looks so much less intimidating than other grafts.
12:49 "You need to fail, guys, to succeed". Well said.
So nice work
So good ideas
very cool! I have not started doing any kind of grafting yet BUT it is in my near future. Thanks!
Thanks, Ross........that's some great information there.
Great information, I grafted yesterday ,where do you get your cuttings from

Ross, where is the link to Jaime's video? Also, when you graft, you use a dormant scion, but does the bud for bud grafting have to be a dormant bud?

Forgot to add it in the description.
Thanks, Ross!

It's a great technique.

Definitely. 6 hours should be enough for early varieties.
Great. Thanks a million! Love the video's.
I didn't see a thing you were doing. Two thumbs up if you wanted to hide your technique.
Great video but i thought you were also going to show how foil the graft.
We cant see
Great but your covering it with your hands
