Great video man. Every article I have read on avocado grafting suggest to do it in spring or fall so this is very impressive work. Great job
Yea, spring is best, though Ive grafted all months except Dec/Jan, though Im sure even in those chilly months theyd take.
I love this 🥑
👍
Good learning thank you
😎👍
Great demonstration Pal🙌 Keep up the good work
Thanks👍😎🌴
Very good explanation on grafting.
Thanks
Great video thank you very much
Very welcome!
Thank u for sharing blessings
Welcome
I’m new to grafting & new to growing seedlings. Thank you for sharing your details about grafting! I’ve been viewing your videos for a year and a half now and I live in Lockford north of Modesto. I am looking for sources for scion varieties. I would love to try grafting with your favorite giant avocado-
Since you have great experience & have great results with your giant avocado
would you be open to selling/ sharing your bud branches with me for my first grafting experience?
thank you for your great videos. Your yard is amazing. Truly a garden of Eden.
I’m not familiar with all the varieties, but I have begun researching it, and I thought I’d reach out to you since you were in my “neighborhood!”
I have a few Hass seedlings.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
nice presentation about cleft grafting Jef I wish I can do it similarly.
I bet you can!
Thank for the information
Thanks for watching!
🌴😎🌴
thank for sharing☺
You are welcome
Good demonstration.
Thanks for watching 🌴😎🌴
I'm up so early to graft avocados that I wake up the rooster!
Lol, thats the best time!
Thanks for the video. I will try to graft again. Hopefully I don't fail again.
Good luck and happy growing!
@@TropicalGardenGuy do you have a red jocote tree?
Leaning a lot here.. want to be doing this at my farm
Great, happy growing!
thankd for the tutorial
Very welcome!
Thank you Jeff for selfless act of kindness to share!
Can I pickup a scion from favorite now in FLOWER tree ?
Sorry but I’m not set up for scion sharing.
There are several folks that sell on eBay or Etsy
Very good boss
Muchas Gracis
Hi I enjoy to have a look your doing grafting thanks. My question, I have used thick rubber tape to do grafting 18 days a go so do you think that it going to work? Or I have to do it again by parafilm tape?
Parafilm is my favorite. But if the graft is still green it may work how u have it.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I have a question, For how long do you keep the parafilm on the scion?
It falls off by itself as the graft union grows.
Great video and information. By the way can one get bud Wood from a young tree to graft on to a seedling or to a mature tree?
I don’t but I’ve seen budwood for sale on Etsy
Loved your one handed video. Very informative and inspirering.
We grew a Hass tree from seed two years ago. It has been outside in a pot. We recently transplanted to the yard. The seedling was never grafted. The trunk is green and about 1.5" diameter. Can we still have a successful grafting? If we graft from a neighbors Hass tree could mine be a productive fruiting tree?
Yes it can
Hey thanks for the great videos on grafting avocados, I was wondering what kid of soil you use for when they are in pots? And do you fertilise them while in pots ?
For the short term, say under 1 year I use miracle grow moisture control type in blue bag… I really love the stuff, though I add a little extra perlite.
For long term, such as 1 year or more, I mix sand, perlite and peat or coco coir .
@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks for the tip and was wondering if I scion will still take if the top has been snipped off?
Thank you for teaching me how to graft avocado. My concern is where to place it after grafting, under the shade, partial sunlight or full sulight? Thanks.
I put the freshly grafted trees in bright shade until new growth , then slowly into the sun over a period of 3 months. Sometimes I just cover the grafted area with tin foil if in full sun.
Nice.
Thanks
Thanks for the great video. When you graft higher on the seedling, leaving several leaves below, will the original plant variety eventually produce fruit? I am a newbie, never grafted anything before.
If any new buds on the seedling grow , I just cut them off
@@TropicalGardenGuy why would you not cut lower the seedling tree just wondering is there a reason to leave it so high?
Hey, i started to watch your videos today, i really like your videos, i just have on thing to say, i hope you dont get offended, since you do all your vídeos by yourself, would be nice if you would have a tripod, sometimes we cant really see what you are doing, congrats for you videos, keep doing it, best 🖐✌️
No worries. 🌴😎🌴
That video was one of my first. Since then I got a tripod which I will use for future grafting videos.
Thanks for the feedback!
@TropicalGardenGuy you are very welcome, I asked a question on the other video about avocado in Charleston sc, when ever you have a chance to reply, thank you 🙏🙂
Thanks for sharing. Can grafting done by an existing bearing avocado tree?
Yes, 🌴
Hi! Thank you for a great video.
I have 2 avocado trees that are small less than a year. I want to Graft them to bear fruit as these were grown from a avocado seed. I just don’t know where to get the donor from… where I live no one has. An avocado tree.
I e seen budwood for sale online.
Maybe eBay?
im in the san joaquin valley too! so excited to see someone else from here (: im a backyard brown thumb and wanted to ask, what would you recommend for someone who wants to grow a fruiting avocado tree from seed? should i plant two seeds at the same time and graft one onto the other when theyre ready? also is now an okay time to plant an avocado seed (mid summer/heat wave)?
I’d plant a seed directly into the ground. You may have to provide a little shade the first year.
Then graft whatever variety you like onto it.
I’ve seen budwood sold on eBay and Etsy.
@@TropicalGardenGuy hey tropical garden guy, im planting some potted jalapeno seeds here in the wonderful fresno heat and i noticed the soil is already completely dry at 3pm. i water at night to avoid evaporation, is it okay to water a second time mid day if the soil is dry like this?
Thanks for the video. I have avo seedling grown from a pip. It has grown 3 stems. Can you graft all 3 stems?
I have.
It depends on size and health of seedling
In this example, will the final plant be more like the Mexicola (more cold hardy) or will it be more like the scion? If I want a cold hardy avocado tree, which one should I use as the root stock?
The cold hardiness will be like scion though there are root advantages in having a more cold hardy seedling
Hi I live in riverbank right next to Modesto hoping I could come by so u can show me in person how to graft my avacado tree
Thank you for blessing us with this usefull infomation. For example if you plant a hass seed and then graft it with gwen cutting what type of fruit will you expect from the tree?
Newbie 😆
The fruit will be Gwen
Much respect sir
Great
Thanks!
Thanks for a great video! Is there a specific season for grafting? Can we graft in fall, winter? Thanks!
Best time is spring
@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks!
welcome!
Thanks for the video. I am new to grafting but trying my hand at it. Jast a question. Can you graft a type A (eg Hass) and type B (eg Fuerte) avocado plant onto the same root stock to help increase fruiting?
You sure can
@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks for the rely. I just tried a few grafts, including 2 different types onto the same tree. Now it is just wait and see if they take.
Thanks for the tutorial. Curious (and a little impatient, lol), what is the smallest or youngest seedling you’ve used for a successful graft?
Probably 90 days old
@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks!
Thank u
Very welcome!🌴😎🌴
Can you side graft and bud graft and veneer graft on a single seedling rootstock
I have never tried but I bet you can
Hi Jeff thanks for sharing that, how long do you leave the plastic wrapped around. I have just done my first graft and it has been a couple of weeks, little buds are starting to show, so I got excited and took the plastic off. Have I made a mistake? or has it already got past that stage? Do i need to put the plastic back on?
I leave plastic on forever, it deteriorates naturally, most of the time.
That said your union may be ok.
I wouldn’t disturb it now . It may just continue to grow
@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks for replying
Do you have a link where I can buy those aluminum tree tags please? Looks better than my soda can method
I got em on Amazon , make sure you don’t buy the cheap ones. These are double sided
Hello. Followed what you did 2 days ago including the plastic wrapped on the scion. But when do I remove the plastic? I noticed there was no plaatic wrapped aroind the scion when you showed the update after a month. also, did you keep the leaves in the rootstock?
I leave parafilm m on.
It falls off eventually.
Yeas u can leave the rootstock leaves on
Hi Jack’ do you have idea or share to us how to make a seedless avocado.
certain varieties, such as fuerte has more than others seedless avocados
Hi Jeff followed your methods, just a question how long do I have to wait for the graft to hold or take course?
I usually notice bud pushing 2 to 3 weeks after grafting
I added a little aloe on the Hass Scion before going into the root stock will that be ok?
Ive never used aloe b4
Hello, after grafting the scions how long should it take after first leaves are produced to plant the seedlings in the farm if I did the grafting in the nursery?
After a a couple new set of leaves
3:18 mins Why remove all the leaves? On bud wood? On scion?
They dry out
I watch your AVOCADO step by step grafting video. I love it. My clarification are: 1) how old should the rooting plant suited for grafting? 2) Should the scion and the rooting plant be of the same variety? 3) wjat if I use different variety? Should the scion be the one of good variety? 4) Can I use any material to wrap the scion? Thank you. This is Mr. Flor Padayhag
1. About 1 year old, 2. It doesn’t matter the variety, 3. See #2 and yes it should be of good variety. 4. You can experiment with wrap, plastic wrap has been used…. Happy growing! .. Jeff
If temp here in fall & winter range from 50 deg F to -10 F will it grow or die or do I have to foil wrap em.
-10f… dead!
Not sure the concept of “ foil wrap”?
Great job! Curious to know what "Giant" stands for?
Okay, maybe it is somehow related to the avocado in this production: th-cam.com/video/eutOTw31JtQ/w-d-xo.html
Good question! Its a seedling from Bayarea that produces 3 lb fruit
How long should a grafted seedling remain in a10x10 grow bag before repotting
Depends on the health of the tree.
Once the new tree gets to about 20 inches tall, I put into a 3 gal pot
After you graft a seedling. how long do you have to wait until you can plant in into the ground??
If in a pot, wait till at least two sets of leaves have formed
Can one graft an avocado directly in the group or it has to be done in a pot first the be transplanted later?
Either way is fine
👍
👍
I am a beginner at this process, but have three seedling avocado trees I would love to begin grafting . I have a couple of questions.
1) Exactly what type of tools are you using? Is that a scalpel and how do you sterilize your tools when working?
2) where can I get ahold of Good Sion material? Do you sell cuttings from your fruit bearing trees for grafting? I live about an hour south-west of your area.
I use a box cutter razor knife.
I sterilize by using alcohol or peroxide.
Sorry, I don’t sell stuff. But u can find scions sold on eBay and Etsy
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you so much Jeff for your reply.
Where can you get donor budwood from though if you don’t already have any?
Ive seen it sold on eBay and Etsy
Hello, thanks for the information.
Where do I get a graft? I have several growing from seed.
How old should the plant be before grafting?
Look for budwood online.
eBay and Etsy are a couple sources.
I like to graft pencil sized thick seedlings
@@TropicalGardenGuy ok thanks for the information.
How long do I leave the tape or does it come off on its own
It falls off by itself.
I have a 5 week old graft in my 2020 pandemic avocado tree. I wish I could find what a healed graft should look like. I’m afraid to take the grafting tape off too early.
If using parafilm I don’t take the tape off.
If using other non stretchy types of wrap, just wait till you see several new leaves
Can I graft using scion of 5 years tree that hasn't produced fruits yet....to get fast generation of fruits
Worth a try!
good day SIR, could it be possible to graft an avocado that is already transplanted on the ground? the avocado plant is still young just like what you are using. thank you.
Yes
Hi i am from Trinidad. I would like to know if i can graf an avacado tree on to a a new baby plant
I like to graft then when the trunk of the seedling is at least 5mm
Hi, thanks for sharing. Few questions: if I want quicker fruiting, do I have to use a scion from a plant already in fruiting age? Roughly how long will it take to give fruits? Will the rootstock be strong enough to bear the weight of the fruits? Thanks
Hi Tristan, the seedling that you are grafting onto will most likely determine when the new tree will be able to fruit.
I once grafted a flowering piece of budwood and while the new tree set fruit, they all aborted until the whole tree was large enough to handle fruiting
Have you tried airlayer ing?
Not on avocados, they are so easy to graft
I failed because of rootstock bleeding,even i made some cuts to stop bleeding.So i prefer spring
Odd, maybe wait till rootstock is more mature?
Does the center of the stem ever releases white liquid sap when cutting it?
not with avocados
@@TropicalGardenGuy I have a neighbor that has a tree that looks very much like an avocado tree with the leaves almost identical of an avocado tree. He acedently broke the top tip of it and it started releasing a white milky liquid. I know some avocado trees release dried white powder when it's a mature tree from broken steams. He's having a hard time identifying it.
How old is your seedling rootstock? Why did you cut the tip of the scion off? What will happen if you don't cut the tip off?
Roootstock was 1 year old, seed was planted last fall. In the heat, the soft tip of scions tend to dry out , in spring I leave them on
@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks for your response.
you are welcome!
Hello my name is Peter from South Africa when do you remove the grafting tape on a successful graft.
Hi peter, This type of tape is very easy to tear, it fails apart naturally , other types you might have to remove after a couple of new leaves have formed
Hi do you know where I can get some scions for my avacado seedling?
I’ve seen them sold on ebay
which containers are you supposed to plant the seed in and which type of soil
I like deep pots with 50/50 blend potting soil perlite
When do you remove the paradigm?
Most of the time it deteriorates by it’s self
How long do you keep the tape on or does it fall on its own
It falls off
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you
Can I use root stock and scion from same plant for grafting?
Yup
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank u
good video jeff, but for the love of god get a tripod or gimbal haha
I hear ya .
I got one. The video is pretty old, gonna to a new grafting video soon.
What is the best seedling tree variety to use to graft on to?
A lot of folks graft onto Zutano
@@TropicalGardenGuy Thank you!
welcome!
Just curious, are you saying that avocado trees dont produce fruit unless they are grafted.? Great video by the way..
If not grafted, it could take many years and then after the wait the tree may not produce good or even edible growth fruit
@@TropicalGardenGuy Does it have to be a graft from a different type of avocado tree or can it be 2 of the same type of tree then grafted ..?
@@TropicalGardenGuy Does this also apply to other trees like Lemon or apple trees if you start them by seed..?
How often do you irrigate grafted avocados
Depends on the time of year.
Summer I water twice a week on average. In winter I don’t water until feb
So growing most trees from pits won’t produce an edible avocado?
They can but if they do it can take decades and they may not taste good
Where do you get those labels?
Amazon
When is the right time to graft avocados
Depends on where you live but I graft when buds are pushing… I prefer March - May
I lives in Trinidad and I have about100 avacado seedlings but no access to tape what can I use I am doing for the very first time
Hmmm, I’ve heard of people using black electrical tape in a pinch
How should scions carried for a long distance
Wrapped in damp paper towel in a ziplock bag
Hi Jeff ,thanks for sharing
I have a problem with my avocado grafts, and it is that they do not stick well, sometimes they have lasted green for even 6 months, but then they have not stuck and have dried up
What kind of cutting would you get?
wood of the same age, without lignifying? semi-lingual?? or from the previous year, already lignified?
I've heard all kinds of versions about this ,And also on which wood of the pattern would you stick better, the lignified, the semi-lignified, or the younger one without lignifying?
thank you
If they seem to take then die later, it could be a cultural thing. Water or fertilizer or temp
My several questions to you as I go along why grafting? and comment is if the Avocado has been grown for hundred of years and nature has taken is course to grow the Avocado of its own taste in their variety to acquire its own quality and flavor is it necessary this to be done and when did this grafting evolution started.😊
Donno much about history but plant a seed and you’ll wait a long time for fruit if you ever get any, it could be no good.
What I still don't understand is the fact that you have to seal and wrap the top of the scion to not dry out. They contain the buts that I want to grow but with the tape it's not possible. How do I know, when to take the tape off so the buts can grow
The buds grow through the parafilm .
That’s the cool thing about parafilm m, it’s like skin.
You do not have to take parafilm off
How many years the grafting Avocado before bear fruits?
it usually takes 2 or 3 years.
I live in Alabama and don’t know of anyone else growing avocados. I have a hass avocado I’m growing in a container. If I wanted to graft something else, how would I get the scion?
Try eBay or Etsy.
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you
How many centimeters should one graft am ovacado rootstock
Budwood 6cm or longer. Seedling 1cm diameter
If I graft how long dose it take to grow and produce fruits
For me three years
What should be a length of a Scion
About 4 inch’s
