- This graft didn't make it. In this video I talk about common mistakes people make when grafting. I also talk about common reasons why grafts fail. Looking back, It's common sense to hold all your finger above the knife when cutting downwards, but common sense sometimes escapes me. I

Anytime I cut my finger while grafting I just stick a piece of Scion wood in it and tape it up.
Hahaha 😂😂
Good morning sir.. i'm new here...thank you for your video its inspired me a lot. Hope you help me for my journey thru my grafting lesson.. Keep safe always💕💞💕
Good morning and welcome. Thank you for the kind words. Be safe and well
Very nice grafting technic sir...
You can insert two scions when rootstock are bigger than scion.
I’m going to try this
Good video. Waiting the graft must make you stressful and you lost the hairs 😂
😂😂
V. Useful informations
Super tips, thanks for de information
Thanks
What to use if u dont have grafting tape?
you can use rubber band to tie the graft and then a plastic bag to cover the whole graft and scion area.
I would suggest covering whatever you have done with aluminum foil or white paper and then cover with a air tight transparent plastic bag, you can use some rubber band to tie it and voila ur graft will be successful no matter what season you graft as long as your rootstock is active😊
good idea. tHANKS
Don't you think that the aluminium foil will actually absorb heat and cook your graft?
Thanks for sharing, great video. I really like your grafting videos, very informative. Hope you finger gets better soon.
Thanks. Much appreciated
When I grafting manggo tree they dried up when I covered with plastic the moisture inside damage the scion and die thats why I covered with sock so that they can breadth😊
Thanks for sharing both your successes and failures. I really appreciate this video. Right in time! I grafted some Atemoya to Cherimoya rootstock yesterday. It’s the end of July which is the hottest period of time here in Florida. So just went and covered grafts with some foil. Hoping for the best. God bless!
Hope your grafts take. God Bless....
You are a very good communicator! Thanks and keep on making Videos!
One thing that I would have done was wrap a think rubber band to hold graft together and you can used much less foil.
Thanks :)
Muchas gracias por tu bonito video he visto muchos de tus videos y he aprendido mucho yo vivo en san jose Ca.
Muchas gracias. Saludos.
Mine died but it still growing from the bottom and is the prettiest one
So far I failed three attempts at grafting, but that’s ok it’s a learning experience for me. Thanks for the tips.
You’re welcome!
Same. I thought my 4th attempt was successful but I think I took off the tape too soon (2 weeks)
Me too. I haven't had a successful graft yet. Do you know how many grafts you can do on one small tree? I have 4 grafts going on one lemon tree..
Modified cleft graft👍🌱🌳fr.
😀😀😀PINOY GRAFTER 😀😀😀
Great Video Ajmal... It shows that your Human like all of us.. !!!! I have a set of 16 avocado plants, and tried 2x to graft and FAILED 2x... All 16 plants..
Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm sorry to hear about the failed grafts
Sir where i can avail the rooting hormone and what is the most effective brand? Thank you in advance for your response...
If you’re in the USA, a lot of specialty nurseries have it. If you’re in another country, try buying online. I use miraclegro fastroot
@@AJTheGraftMan i'm from the Philippines and i can't find a good rooting hormone online..all they sell are faked here😪😪😪
Smoking weed while grafting a big no no.
😂😂 be safe out there
Glad to see you cut finger healed! Very interesting and informative tips on avocado grafting! I have had tried some already at home but have some doubts and hopes as well regarding the success in the trials.
Thank you! I hope your grafts will be successful
I live in the Caribbean. Almost 4 weeks ago, I did my first graft ever and it was on an avocado tree. So far it's looking good, the scion is still green. The root stock is one year old. Instead of wrapping with grafting tape, I covered the scion with a plastic bag. It seems like the new leaf is developing but not sure. I hope it's successful.
I’m glad to hear it. I hope it takes. If the scion is still green, then it’s still alive and has a chance to take 🌲🌴
@@AJTheGraftMan I'm sad to reply that the graft failed, but I'm not giving up. I'll try again.
@@yohlean7779 I like your attitude. Don’t give up!
any updated links to decent tape? buddy tape is hard to find lol
I’ll go link hunting and post some updated ones
Good from Qateef Saudi
Very good I like
Dang bro are you ok
I am sorry to hear you cut your thum, you doing a great job but please make sure to take care of yourself first
Thank you
How did the graft take? You ever do any citrus grafting? I’m in SoCal as we’ll your trees look nice and healthy cheers
My bad commented before end of video yep sanitation super important cheers
Looks like it was good grafting it's a shame that it didn't turn out with the fact that the tools were not disincfected it also would be a good idea to replace the blade with a new one if available. as I have seen someone has already suggested the plastic bag which is the better idea. which would look in the moisture and keep any bacteria from the outside until the scion locks in tight into the cutting shame that your video was not shown previously as I'm always looking for ideas thank you for the grafting video it alerts me of the safety and precautions of what not to do the next time by the way this 2023 April 27.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom.
I love you see you channel
Thank you. I appreciate that :)
Nice
Can you use hand sanitizer ok? after you succeed grafting, how do you keep your graft shoot from dying back after 3-6 months, do you think I remove the parafilm too soon . if you don't remove the parafilm, it will gurtle and die.
Hand sanitizer can be ok to use, I assume. I’ve never used it myself. Die back can occur from too much heat and sun, or not enough water to the rootstock. Parafilm doesn’t girdle the graft. Other types of grafting tape might girdle. I would let the tape fall off on its own
What is the nighttime temp when youre doing this,
In my country it gets down to 60f at night, is that enough for this to be successful?
Around the same temps as us. Should be enough
The paint is it wapp house paint to paint the tree wipp it kipp the avocado tree
My greatest fear is to slice myself with these sharp blades.
Thanks for sharing, i agree if you graft in the heat, I live in Texas where the temperatures stays over 100 in the summer so if you graft you must cover the graft with something. What I do is i use toilet paper cylinder to protect the graft from the sun, then i use a sandwich bag over it and tie the bottom to prevent water from getting to it.
Cool idea! Thanks for sharing
So one one tree can one grow 4-5 varieties of avocados on different branches?
Yes certainly
Hey man thanks a lot for the tip. It worked great for me. Just one question, when do I remove the aluminum paper from it ? Thanks 🙏
I would leave it on as long as possible, and as the graft grows, I would open the foil and let the graft grow like a bouquet of flowers. Hope that makes sense
Using foil is a bad idea cus aluminum is a heat conductor!! Use a plastic bag after your wrap the graft with the tape.
😂
Hi, i live in South Texas RGV area. I have grafted two seedlings with a Hass scion and both are slowly dying from top to bottom. What am i doing wrong? Thanks
Learning from u
Thank you :)
Be careful brother
how can you tell if you have aligned both cambium layers correctly?
good question. video about this coming soon
Great video! Glad you are okay!!!
Thanks!
Where do you buy the clear tape how do you call it please
Parafilm grafting tape. You can buy it on eBay, Amazon, etc
Fall grafting? Wait until after August to avoid the strong heat in socal?
Yes exactly
What’s the best time to graft onto avo trees?
@@NMW80 I've had some success in the spring and fall. Even early this summer but finding scion wood is difficult in the summer.
I just grafted my avocado, how long usually till we know if the graft succesful or not
usually takes between 3 weeks to 6 weeks
@@AJTheGraftMan thanks aj
@@AJTheGraftMan looks like one of my grafting gonna be fail, what happen to rootstock when grafting fail?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely
I cannot get hold of any scion for my avocado
Mine died
I've heard the same. I've started to consistently water these cuttings and another one is started to grow out. Thanks
@@AJTheGraftMan what do you think am doing wrong ?
Very good and helpful. Can I get few Scion from you for grafting
many times I use a leather glove on my non-knife hand specially when im cutting high above my head. A slip will go into the leather. thanks for Sharing these useful tips.
interesting idea...
Your vids are great
Thanks!
@@AJTheGraftMan Those cuts are horrible too.....because its so sharp it just slices you right open...but at least you can use that porous gm medical tape to encourage the cut to knit back quickly....that stuff is awesome because you dont need a paster....you just use like butterfly stiches to pull the cut closed...if you get my drift.
@@jonathancox9501 ya it bled for a while. I forgot what I did for wound care, but I’ll try to remember your comment if it happens again
@@AJTheGraftMan sweet as...its called micro pore by Gm.....it comes in about an inch wide or half an inch wide....As the name implies its porous...so the wound can breathe....so you cut a strip off....clean the wound really well with soapy water(kills germs and removes dirt......dry well......once bone dry (must be)....you put one end to the side of the cut press down and pull gently to bring the cut in to each side and then press down to seal.......that keeps the cut tight together as if it were stitched.......you can leave that tape on all the time.....try not to get wet if you can but its still ok......change carefully when it gets manky and beware not to pull cut back open.....from side to side is best......u want to get the two sides to knit back together as quick as possible and it should be good by 3 days........it will heal faster than putting a plaster on it as it lets air in real nice.....any wound ....you should try not to get it wet but wash it really good once it happens...so you dont leave any stones or dirt in the wound......if you do......it will get infected....so get in there really good and clean it....soap is great for cleaning the wound too....I once fell on the rocks fishing once and got cut to bits by oysters/jagged stuff...mate siad that going to get infected and you will have scars.....both legs knees down cut to bits......hopped in the shower....soap and fingers in all the cuts and scrubbed with soap and water....a few rum and cokes and off to bed......all healed good and no scars...same when i cut my feet to bits on oysters......no infection and no scars !
if you buy a real grafting knife its much safer
I have three type A avocado trees. A Hass, a Reed and a Russell. What B type avocado do you recommend?
Nabal or Sir Prize
Aluminum foil it gives more heat
Will the entire tree bear fruit after grafting or only the branch you grafted ?
The entire tree will bear fruit eventually. The grafted branch will bear fruit much faster (usually 2 years vs 7 years ungrafted) and will bear more desirable fruit
Hi, do you know where i can buy avocado scions and Will ship to Norway ?
I don’t know
Hi man, you don't have any videos on pomegranate? i planted some in my front yard...wanted to know how to propagate it, how to graft it and etc...
I have seen a previous video where you cut slit around and about two inches long into the branch and peeling off the bark off of a fruit tree and then squeeze about two palms full of mud with a lot of moisture and place a rag all around making sure no moisture spills out cover it with a plastic and then some tape or rubber strap around the edges it took approximately six weeks to have the roots come out of the center after that you cut in between the two ends and unwrap and the roots should have formed and replant the stock in potting soil if you want to propagate from the same tree I suggest you do it separating the cuttings different branches at a distance apart good luck hope it turns out great.
@@JorgeMartinez-df3or okay. Pomegranate just bear a fruit this month, although I don't know why the fruit don't get bigger
Hi I'm replying the reply you may use a compound of natural manure manure with the scraps that you use every day of the fruits and vegetables mixed into the dirt mixed in also the pomegranate is base mainly water you have to water it twice a day because there might be lack of water and have the soil saturated also if you want to use a conventional fertilizer which is the 666 Oxygen Nitrogen and I believe is carbon there is a fertilizer from sunny land that has the 666 fertilization compounds ok try those
happy growing.
Do you think I can grow an avocado tree outdoors in zone 8b 9a
Depends how cold it gets
What avocado types do you have?
Quite a few. I can’t remember them all
Useful. Thanks
Thanks
Hello, nice video. Can you please explain how you choose your scion? I tried a few times but I failed, I guess I have some trouble to reckon the right scions. How old the wood should be? One year? Water sprout? How tick? Thanks :)
Video about this coming soon. Stay tuned. Thanks
