Here's a video that explains how rootstocks are produced (the audio is terrible, but you can mute it and look at the slides). /watch?v=TJwRKqd6wS0 Basically, certain strains of apple tree are selected for resistance to disease, pests, drought, cold and so on, rather than for fruit production, and they're grown for their roots, while the more delicate but better fruiting strains are grown for their above-ground parts.
I have 2 questions,first I see on your video budding branch you have taken has plenty big green leaves on them which means you take the cutting like during growing season say middle of spring,I knew as doing t- budding should be done early spring n budding branch should be taken durung the winter while they r still in dormant,second question is when u take the but out shouldn`t the wood part stayed behind the bud? thanx in advance.
I have a question, why didnt you just let the small apple tree that you grafted to grow?? Was it the same kind of apple tree as what you grafted? Thats what Im not understanding about this.. I have 2 Monarch apple trees growing and would like to grow about 10 more of them but im not seeing how to do that ...what kind of seedling did you graft too?? Can you graft to any tree out there or what? Please help
Apple trees are not "true to seed" meaning that the seeds from your Apple wont produce the same tree it came from. If you have a Granny Smith and a Crabapple tree and they pollinate each other then the seeds are 50/50 from each parent, so you might get an edible tree or you might not. Grafting takes this "gamble" out because the bud you transplant WILL be identical because it's not effected.
so grafting is for making the same tree with a different root system so you can harvest a graf off a tree you want to plant again so you can make lots of the same healthy tree im nee to this and trying to take in as much infomation as posable nice video the cheap guy
crazy apple throw at the start there
This is a good video for learning how to graft. However, where/how do you get/produce a "root stock" to graft it to?
