Harvest the scionwood during the later part of the dormant season while the buds are still tight. Store in the fridge wrapped in a moist towel inside of a partially open plastic bag. Grafting can begin before the tree is ready to push its buds and continue after the leaves have pushed late into the spring. Here in Northern California I start grafting in mid February and go until about late April.
I live in Northern, Ca as well :) This video was just what I needed to learn to graft my apple tree. What month do you put your scion wood in the fridge? January and then start grafting in February? I don't want to have my wood start getting mold in the fridge so I am hoping one month will be okay.
Wow...I didn't know graphing was as easy as it looked...thanks for the info...I have a good bit of fruit trees ... this could really come in handy. ♥ :)
A year ago, grafting was "the dark arts", but I had a TH-cam binge, gave it a go and everything took, although I had one graft ripped of by some idiot blundering through my property and another that was displaced but re-healed. This year, I have some confidence and have done a dozen or so grafts of varieties that are impossible to obtain locally but can be mail ordered as scions.
Wow, very good video. I appreciate that you showed all the different types in one video, and with good camera angle to see it all. Grafting is so simple in theory (and in action it appears) but I'm still nervous that I won't do it right. I just pruned a few various fruit trees in my own yard and grafted some of the pruned wood back on lower to help shape the tree with a better crotch. If it doesn't work it's no big deal. I guess what I did were all side grafts, but I cut off the bark flap. I can see now I should not have done that. So it's a combination of a side and a whip graft I guess. Is there a particular time that's best to graft? Like, right at bud swell? I worry I may have done it a bit soon, but I think we'll start seeing bud swell in the next month or so down here in Houston. The cambium layer was green and moist.
OH MY GOSH YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT SAID THE ONLY THING THAT MAID ANY SINCE ON HOW TO SEAL THE TREE IS BEE SAP THE NATURAL AND ONLY THING TO DO IS VERY GOOD GOD BLESS YO ALL PLEASE DO THIS VERY GOOD
His left hand is bleeding he is so strong if If I was there in your place I would sit at home and do the medical treatment this is called a true love for gardening
I use bee's wax which comes from the honey bee's hives. There are other waxes that would work fine like cheese wax. Also there are paints that do a fine job of covering the grafts, one is called Doc Farwell's tree seal. Thanks for your compliment
I graft roses stone fruits apples and citrus using the narrow green tape. I just tape the whole scion as well and also cover with clear tape, in particular for citrus in spring since they are bad for having moisture loss. I just cut down the middle and match the scion to it. Works great.
Great video! Specially followed up to show the results. Very educational. Thanks! One question, can I graft apple tree on crap apple trees? crap apple trees are native trees in New Jersey.
I harvest the scion wood for grafting in late winter from trees that I know to be of a great variety. I think that it might be difficult to find scion wood to buy.
Hi Feng Yun, Please look online for "North American Scion Exchange". You can trade scions by mail. If you have nothing to trade yourself, you can offer to pay postage/bubblewrap envelope & offer a small payment to someone who has the variety (s) you want to try grafting. It's an online community & the people are often helpful.
Thank you! I will definitely keep this resource. I am new, just start this year, my apple tree will come on the end of month, I will have to wait to graft. But I will do when it is ready. Enjoy your video,thanks.
nice video, just curious why you use the green tying tape instead of 4 mil white propagation tape which wont girdle. of course if you are only doing a couple of grafts in the back yard. I guess its no big deal to remove it.
I really enjoyed your updates. I find it very educating. Can you please advise, i just purchased apple M26 rootstock...so, when can i graft the scion wood onto the rootstock? Thank you once again.
+gideon dimai With rootstock that is not in the ground yet I benchgraft close to the time that I will plant the tree in the ground. Here in Northern California that is usually in February.
I use the side graft when the size of the freshly cut branch is over about 2 or 3 inches which is too big to split for making a cleft graft. Also the side graft can be used to add a graft in the middle of the tree to make another branch.
Hey! With your help I was able to successfully graft a half dozen or so scions onto my trees this spring. I'm wondering tho, when should I remove the tape and sealant?
does grafting work by combining traits of two plants together? like can you graft lilac with crab apple and then you will get a crab apple tree smelling a little like lilac??
a very large branch fell off an oak tree during a storm and knocked the top off two maple trees that I had started and were doing quite nicely. the tops that were lost were several inches in diameter. I have many trees in my yard. Is it possible to take a small tree and graft it to the top of my injured trees. Where might I find an example of doing such a project. I am assuming I would have to splint the old to new sections.
so you grafted apple branches onto what type of tree? because i hear a willow tree would be best because it has healing properties for plants and it was widely used for rooting compound
they graft it onto other apple trees. the Apple trees they use as root stock produce bad fruit, but are very hardy and don't grow as big, so it's good for orchards
I have a cherry tree that’s 14 years old an never fruits but has beautiful white blossoms, I’ve found a wild cherry tree today that blossoms pink , can I graft the two ? Is it too late now ? An can I graft the pink cherry blossoms tree to a year old sycamore at the bottom of my garden ? Sorry for so many question at once but I’d love to graft the pink blossoms in my garden. Thank you 🙏
what is the best pruning knife? im just a beginner..trying to know basic ..i did tried grafting citrus tree and it works...but i just use kitchen knife..want good stuff for future use..thnks! great video btw..
+smorgole I couldn't find a grafting knife that I liked so I made my own. First I used my favorite kitchen knife which is a high quality wood handle Swiss or German made knife. Then I cut the blade shorter to about 4 inches long and then ground one side flat and the other cutting side I ground to a slight angle(maybe 15 degrees). Finally, I spend an hour with a good sharpening stone and worked both sides of the knife to get a super sharp custom made grafting knife!
It's wonderful , can you please spell for me the name of the wax you are using and the tape and where could I buy that stuffs???? ..... thanks a lot ....
Much better to use a beeswax-based product if you use any at all. Some of the others like Tanglefoot's Tree Wound are made with sweetened petroleum gasses, ethyl-benzene, dimethyl-benzene, and black acetylene (I doubt you'd want it on your wound.) IV Organics is a fantastic product but costs $40 a can (however, I think you dilute it to at least half, so, worth it?) I'm a professional fruit tree specialist and pruner, for what it's worth.
@@hunterreed1010 Are you sure the petroleum and other chemicals in tanglefoot prove problematic? Is there evidence that any significant amount ends up in the fruit, or that it damages the tree? We put petroleum jelly on babies and on our lips of course, and all the plastics in our lives are petroleum based, albeit not dissolved. I've also noticed some grafters claimants of utmost importance to paint any dark black wound sealer white, to avoid overheating. However, I don't recall noticing many grafts failing once they take so I'm not sure overheating is an issue where I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
im from long beac. california,usda zone10b.when is the best month to collect scion wood and when is the best month to graft and tbudding on apple tree..ty so much.
It's really just about the size of the scion versus the size of the stock. He used the side graft there due to the stock being much larger than the scion. He also could have used a cleft graft there but the stock was a bit too big for it to be practical. Hope this helps.
@10:11 Do you try to make cuttings of that pruned stuff? So those stems do not go to waste? ..Or is it too difficult to get a cutting from those areas of the tree?
Usually grafting is done at the end of winter and before the buds start to swell in the early spring. My guess is that late February or March would be the best time in North Carolina.

This is a fantastic video demonstration with no fluff. Pure education baby! Nice work and thank you!
I'll be grafting this spring. Thanks for showing what the grafts look like after 6 months. Other sites rarely show the successful grafts.

Great job, really appreciate ur work....well, which season is really suitable for grafting or anytime it can b done?
I've only just learned about this and I think it's the coolest thing ever!
Great video! Specially followed up to show the results. Very educational. Thanks! One question, can I graft apple tree on crap apple trees? crap apple trees are native trees in New Jersey.
Yes, you can graft a apple on to a crab apple.
Thanks! Would you please recommend where to buy the graft wood?

sorry .. maybe I answered my own question. haha..
Just slice w tip of secateurs when pruning eeezz
I really enjoyed your updates. I find it very educating. Can you please advise, i just purchased apple M26 rootstock...so, when can i graft the scion wood onto the rootstock? Thank you once again.
+gideon dimai
With rootstock that is not in the ground yet I benchgraft close to the time that I will plant the tree in the ground. Here in Northern California that is usually in February.

Which product u used on the top by using brush
What season is the best for grafting.
Hey! With your help I was able to successfully graft a half dozen or so scions onto my trees this spring. I'm wondering tho, when should I remove the tape and sealant?
Really great video.
The green plastic tape is common garden tape easily found in many garden centers. It comes in a few different widths.
Nice video! What time of year did you graft? Early spring? Thanks...
Good vedio 👍what solution do you use after grafting pl.great vedio
Thank you for the follow up. Not many people do it
Which plants stock is used
which season is suitable for apple grafting please???
Which month is better for grafting? Kabul Afghanistan
I really enjoyed it.But please tell me which type of solution is being pasted.How is it made.
Melt candle and use that.thats what I do
Awesome work😜
How large of a trunk could you side graft to? Could you do it to a large overgrown tree? With like an 8" trunk??
When taping the graft, can you secure it with duct tape or electrical tape to keep it from coming off ?
In what month did you do your grafts?
does grafting work by combining traits of two plants together? like can you graft lilac with crab apple and then you will get a crab apple tree smelling a little like lilac??

What time of the year is it?
you are an amazing inspiration !
great video, very helpful.. I feel like Neo after downloading his karate training.. "I know Kung Fu" lol great job in explanation..Thanks
What kind of tree is under?
Do you do this by the Almanac ? Or when is the time to do it?
excellent presentation
Which months is this operation ?
I am going to need some bees ! I can't get break … Great video I will give her a try.
melt candles darling
Paint will be fine as well
nice work..very good video..thx
Is the stock also an apple three??
Is that what grafting for , shaping the tree?
Can you use any type wood even if it's a oak tree or does it need to be another kind of fruit tree branch ..
musclemanjoe1 when grafting the scion needs to be the same family as the rootstock.
Ok thanks..
musclemanjoe1taj
Sir what is the right time or month to gaft a tree. And can you make a video on how to airlayer a lemon tree. Please.
Excellent grafting technique (from a pro).
Anyone know where I can buy the graffing tape being used?
so you grafted apple branches onto what type of tree? because i hear a willow tree would be best because it has healing properties for plants and it was widely used for rooting compound

Will it take if done during summer?
the beeswax is a good idea. even placing a plastic soda bottle over the scion-stalk junction can work
Since I am a Certified Organic farmer I use beeswax to seal the graft from moisture getting to it.
Is there another option?
what is the best pruning knife? im just a beginner..trying to know basic ..i did tried grafting citrus tree and it works...but i just use kitchen knife..want good stuff for future use..thnks! great video btw..
Hi Carl I don't know if you already answer this question but I would like to know what grafthing knife are you using? homemade, modify one?

What's that solution that you applied at the open cut
It's wonderful , can you please spell for me the name of the wax you are using and the tape and where could I buy that stuffs???? ..... thanks a lot ....
It really is very much helpful thank u so much
He. Makes it look so easy, believe me it isn’t!
Great video!

Can you graft in fall? Great video. Thanks
nice video can i graft pear to apple or vice versa?
No.
I've never tried grafting before. What is the advantage of the side graft over the others?
It's really just about the size of the scion versus the size of the stock. He used the side graft there due to the stock being much larger than the scion. He also could have used a cleft graft there but the stock was a bit too big for it to be practical. Hope this helps.

Hi great video im new to growing , if i graft a fiji apple tree to a honey crisp apple what will happen ?
+Allister Washington if the graft takes, you'll end up with Fiji (?) apples on the grafted limbs, and Honeycrisp on anything you didn't.
Hi guy .thank you for education.i'm also interested in grafting plants.please tell me song name?
We live in the Central part of NC. How late in the season can you graft? Thanks for your work.
Usually grafting is done at the end of winter and before the buds start to swell in the early spring. My guess is that late February or March would be the best time in North Carolina.
Thanks for your work and information.
Thanks for the information and you good work.
Agrarian thank you the video is nice tel me which month and day and wich country this grafting maid god bles you.
In California we usually graft in February. I now farm in Eastern Oregon which has much colder winters so we usually graft in March.
