How to Double Graft Avocado Trees!

- I bark graft avocado in this video. I sliced through the bark of the tree and peeled it away carefully. Then I inserted two different varieties of avocado--the Reed and the Pinkerton. Both of these are premier varieties, of the highest quality. Next I wrapped the area with a few layers of grafting tape. This graft was done in September, and it took 5 weeks for the grafts to grow out. Patience is key with grafting, and one has to remember that things move much slower in the world of plants.

That was the smallest bark graft I've ever seen! Nicely done.
Thanks!
If you saw your graft takes the feeling was very rewarding.

after years of planting and growing avocado seeds since i was a child I evetually grew an avocado varitey that is unique but it took over a decade to grow. I didn't think it would amount to much and when bought my own house I planted it there. It eventually gave fruit but I thought it was a bad type grown from seed. still I didn't cut the tree down and I was glad i didn't. It developed into the most valuable avocado tree i have ever seen. It produces a two pound avocado that had the does not spoil after being cut open for almost a week. It stays fresh and good kept in the refrigerator crisper so you can slice it all week and use it in your meals . I have come to love this avocado with it wonderful taste but i have yet to patent it . I now grow a lot more aovocado seeds so i can develop root stock to graft this unique avocado tree. Thsi is why I am watching your video. For now i call it the MPpp avocado. i have started growing the seeds but I know they won't come out thje same and only cloning will produce the same tree but I want to keep trying to invent new straine of avocado trees so I grow a lot from seed.

I loved reading your story. Thanks for sharing. Stories like yours are one of the reasons why I started my TH-cam channel. It’s fascinating to read about unique and special avocado trees
Great story! Wish you to succeed in developing your own cultivar!
This is really awesome, I’m going to this same type of grafting in June when I go to india 🇮🇳
Well done dear and please keep putting the latest of your grafting. 🙏👌👍
Nice! Are you willing to share scions from it? I live down in Texas and would love to see how it grows here.
Let me know if u sell scion I can buy or trade I have best exotic tropical fruits citrus pomelos thai viet annonas 20+ guavas
We are a small orchard in Valencia, Spain. We are moving from an old variety of orange to Hass avocados. Last winter here was unusually cold and we lost 60 out of our 200 baby trees. However, most have regrown directly from the Zutano rootstock, so now we are going to re-graft Hass scions using your technique. Fingers crossed and thanks for great videos..!
Awesome!
Very good tutorial. I live in Maui Hawaii and there are so many different varieties and cross pollinated avocado. I have a variety that we know as the butter avo and they can get to be almost the size of a child's head. They have a small to medium seed and the meat is super creamy and flavorful like butter. Best avo I have ever eaten bar none. I have been wanting to reproduce this variety for years so other people can enjoy them. Now I can thank you
Thanks! Wow the butter avocado sounds great. I love Hawaiian avocados and mangoes
I have a very rare variety. In fact, it's one of a kind. Yes, it's a seedling but it's grown in Canada and got to 3 metres before I cut it back last summer. It's now 2 metres tall and a lollipop shape. It's about 4 years old now and I'll be moving it up in pot size from the 5 gallon bucket it had lived in for almost 2 years. I know that seedlings are "whatever" to people living in avocado growing zones but it's my plant baby :)
Yes sir!! ..going to have to try this one.
It's our wet season in Thailand and quite cool now before the flowering season comes new year, perfect time for grafting. All our trees are from seed but we have 2 favourites i believe of the Fuerte variety, one is particularly rich in oil and I'm doing as much propagation surgery as possible on a few dozen saplings around the garden. I notice that it helps to cover the scions with a small plastic bag to protect them from the regular rains we get here. Thanks for your clear and crafty instructions, you've been very inspirational and your videos are much appreciated, all the best :)
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support. Yes plastic bag does help a lot in rainy conditions. Good luck with your grafts. All the best to you too :)
yes AJ 's video is must see youtube!!!
I have grafted Reed onto Lula rootstock for my Florida yard. It's thriving and I am happy each time I see it flush new growth. Part of the excitement of growing fruit trees in my yard is the hope and anticipation.
It’s a great feeling watching grafts flush new growth. Reed is great, you’re gonna love it
I've tried grafting my avocado tree before and no luck, I just tried 3 grafts like this one a few days ago and I hope they take. Your videos are very informative thank you.
Thanks! I hope your grafts take. Hope these videos help
Good job
Very interesting. Clear and concise.
Great video! Great job on the 2 grafts. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Very well explained. I enjoy your videos very much.
Very nice, AJ. Wow!!!
Thanks Neal!
Those buds breaking Parafilm is priceless! Love the vid! Hope to see more of this reed pinkerton mix.
Thanks :)
i have a fuerte/hass/gem !!! in container!!!
Admire your passion
Thanks :)
I just did a graft two weeks ago, a Hass onto a two year old seedling our temperature is down to 39 degrees from the 90s i just hope it makes it...
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hope so...
3 days it settles. 3 weeks start growing. 3 months nice product results.
Cheers for that mate.
You make very interesting and clearly understood videos.
I'm just starting out on my grafting journey, Thank you.
Rob B from NZ
Thanks. Hope these videos help
Great Video, one day I will get a graft to take.
Thanks. You can do it 👍🏼🌱
@@AJTheGraftMan My grafts took after months. Lila variety.
@@slickrock7406 I’m glad to hear it. Congrats! 🌴🌳
I adore this channel great content man 💪👏👏
Al you’re good….thanks for teaching us
Watching from New Zealand. Great description and view of the process
Thanks for watching 🌴🌲🌿
I finally made it sir. A success avocado graft using your whip and tongue technique :) Thank you so much.
That’s great! Congratulations! :)
God bless you sir for sharing your gift. Keep safe all the way from Philippines :)
Aris De Guzman thank you and God bless you too. Be safe
Very interesting video and amazing camera work as you prepared the branch for grafting.
Thanks Bread Scientist :)
Awesome! My son planted 4 seeds a year ago. They are 7’ tall now and I’m on the hunt for some scions!
That’s fast growth!
Salute you mr.Ajmal. Thank you for sharing your talent. Will try this technique soon, hope I can do it right this time. God bless you. More tutorial videos and garden tours to come. :)
Thank you. God Bless you too. Be safe and well :)
No shit, I had the exact same watch in the army. Lasted me many years. 82nd airborne.
It’s a great watch
Thanks, AJ., another great video. Your camera work is getting better all the time. Pretty soon you’ll have to start holding Zoom classes for all your terrific grafting techniques and knowledge. Really appreciate all your fine demonstrations.👍👍 🥑 🥑 🥑 - Neal in Anaheim
Thanks Neal for the kind words. Your mangoes are great :)
Great job with your grafts, such a cool technique. About cutting the top buds off the scion, I actually get good growth on some top buds.
Thanks! I’m glad it works for you. For me it was about 50/50 🌳
Very Informative
I hope to graft like you one day
👍🥑 I dont know why the tip doesn’t grow. Out of ten successful grafts this year none of the tips grew!
Yeah it's strange. My success rate skyrocketed once I removed the tips
@@AJTheGraftMan I grafted two Lila scions onto a Haas two weeks ago. Would you suggest cutting the tips off now to increase the success or is it too late? Thanks for the tips.
Ragnar Axelson unfortunately too late
Very good
Parabéns!
Excelente!
Amazing
Awesome 🍃🌿☘🌴🌱
Love your work mate,advo grafting is my latest obsesion,I'm down south ozz wa though finding it hard to find the reed Advo for grafting onto my root stocks,it's winter here atm so I will keep looking....thanks again very informative...👌
Thanks. Reed is an excellent avocado
i wonder how its gonna hold those grafted branches when it start to produce fruits,knowing that the scions are attached only to its bark
Awesomeness
wow 👍👍👍 my friend🙏😄🔔
I have Miki avocado which already tall. It has very nice fruits, sweet taste, not wet but buttery. Good for table fruit. Avarage size is 500gr. This variety is good for low land (below 200 m sea level and warm place)
I tried grafted it several time on Alligator avocado rootstock with no luck. Alligator also good variety and suitable for low land. But I want to have two kind of avocado in one tree. I did not succed may be I did not tight it well since I did not use proper tape. Thanks for the tutorial I will try another with your technic, since my rootstock exactly the same size as yours in this video.
I’ve never heard of Miki or Alligator. What part of the world do you live?
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
شكرااااا 🌹🌹
That was awesome, Thank you for your expertise. If i May ask,I was just wondering if eventually you cut the remaining branches on the rootstock?
Thanks. I left them, but you can cut them out if you'd like.
👍Excellent
Thank you 😊
Parabéns!
Obrigado!
The only method I never tried. I have Fuerte trees. Fruits weigh from 300 to 500 gms Flowering starts in Sep and again in end Dec!! Fruits are ready bu end Jul but I find those harvested in end Sep are far better flavored.
Anyway, thanks for the video. I have over 300 saplings and I am going to try it though it is now 29 Sep 2021.
Thanks. Fuerte is an excellent avocado. Yes I’ve noticed that the longer the fruit stays on the tree, the better it tastes. Good luck with your grafting
Thanks! I will try ! Only spring time ? Grafting tape available in home depot or Lowes ?
Thinking of grafting an avocado... September 14, 2021
Instead of the grafting tape you use, give Parafilm a try. It seems to snap less than the one you use, and is a bit more flexible and stretches more too. It may be sligly more expensive, but $30 for a 250 ft rool (2 inches wide) will stretch to like 750 ft so it will last you a loooong time.
Hey brother awesome video. How long will that lil tree take to fruit
Thanks! It should fruit next year
Awesome do you have a video on how to select avocado scion
Yes I have a few on my channel.
Great content! Can I graft avocado trees now in the fall? I’m in Northern California zone 9b. I want to do this same thing.
I would wait until spring
I never heard of these.kind of avocados in tobago that bearing back to back within the season
They are California varieties. I'm sure they would grow fine in Tobago
Nice, so when is the best time to graft? I'm in San Diego, is it to late?
Might be too late. Another good time for SoCal is February through April
Where can these scion be bought? Thanks for the video.
Great video!!! Which parts are supposed to be touching the bark? The long part or the short part? Thanks
Thanks! The long part touches the bark
@@AJTheGraftMan thank you. You have great content
Can I use avocado scion from another 5 years avacado tree that has not produced fruits yet unto my 2 months old seedlings so that it produces fruits faster
I ve tried to graft but the scion wood don't take is it possible if use older scion or rootstock? Thanks.
Hi I want to find out if I can use Scion from a grafted tree which has not yet started having fruits ?
Yes you can
I always thought avocado tree goes into a semi-dormant or quiescent state in the fall and stop growing. Doesn't that make it not a so good time to graft?
The first month of fall is fine
Hey buddy
Do you leave the seedling in full sun or shade or part-shade?
Hey brother. Part shade. It gets about 4 to 5 hours of sun per day
Nice technique. After how long would you remove grafting tape?
The tape falls off on its own after time. But if you’d like to remove it, wait until the second growth flush matures on the scion
@@AJTheGraftMan Thank you so much
By any chance do you have any scions available? The recent storm snapped my Reed in half. I think it’s a perfect opportunity to make a multi graft tree.
Do you have some seedles sweet delicious grapes?:)
I grow a few varieties of grape. My favorite is called Venus
How is your tree doing? Will you do an update video?
This is the update:
th-cam.com/video/DN8fKzAsgvg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dc0ghgUbNitoKYsE
Did you rough up the cambium layer?
No
is it still a good time to graft avocado & citrus in the San Diego coastal area zone 10a?
Citrus yes avocado no
Another great video mate. Just one question. You sliced your scion wood long on one side, short on the other. Does the long side go onto the white wood ? In other words , does the long side face the centre of the seeding trunk?
Thanks :). Long side faces the white wood
@@AJTheGraftMan 👍
What is a good place to get avocado scions for those of us who don't have multiple trees? A nursery?
Depends on your location
I notice at 5:15 , there's a branch out just below your bark grafting , can it be kept in case if it fruit one day, then we can know the original flavor of the fruit produce from this avocado tree.
yes indeed. good observation :)
How well do they grow in north Carolinas
Depends how cold it gets
Yo. Nice bro. Got my first two Reed avocados on the tree now and I'm not sure when to pick them. I'm in Anaheim. Any tips?
Thanks. You can pick Reeds starting in June, and they're good then. By July they're really good. The longer they stay on the tree, the more oil content develops. If you pick them in August and onwards, they're extraordinary :)
@@AJTheGraftMan awesome tips bro. I did not know any of that. I guess I'll harvest one now and see what's up. Thanks mang!
@@tinyjungle_ Just a heads up I was referring to fruit that flowered from last year. Fruit that flowered and developed this year will be ripe and ready to eat in June 2021 and onwards
@@AJTheGraftMan oh snap. I just harvested one lol I got too excited. these are from this years flowers. Looks like I'm waiting another year for the other one. Is what it is. Thanks for the heads up otherwise I probably would have picked the other one next week. Peace
@@tinyjungle_ sorry for the miscommunication. You can have some of my Reeds this summer if you want.
Can we get an update on these? Are they growing well?
Growing well yes. The Reed graft seems to have totally overtaken the Pinkerton though. I should have been more vigilant with pruning the Reed growth.
How did you determine where to cut the tree to graft on to? Is there an optimum height to cut to?
Good question. Will discuss in future videos
Can I graft from the same avocado tree just cut the brunch?
I wouldn't do that
my orange tree leaves are getting Yellow what I have to do to ???
hadi lan öle aşımı olur denyo :)
I tried many times I failed because of rootstock bleeding.What is the right month and how to stop bleeding.
I’ve never heard of a rootstock bleeding
Can I graft an Avocado scion to a Apricot tree?
Unfortunately not. However you can graft plum, peach, nectarine, and cherry onto an apricot tree. All of those are graft compatible
Will the Rootstock produce fruit Below the graft unions?
Yes. I've seen it once, in Florida. I posted a picture in the community section of my channel
Hmm When I try to select the community section on the channel It says there isn’t a community section
I must be Doing something wrong
It looks like you left a small branch on the seedling below the graft. Do you remove that at some point?
Ya I removed it about two months after the grafts took
Thanks for your reply. Is it better to leave some leaves when you are grafting to a larger plant then? Usually you would remove all leaves on a smaller graft so that all the energy goes into the new scion piece yeah?
@@kirstyglasgow8289 better to leave some leaves when grafting to larger trees. It keeps the nutrients flowing from the roots to the branches of the tree. For younger trees, I’ve seen and done both- remove all leaves or leave some on- and gotten good results with both
Good lesson, but the cameraman sucks😂😂
Could someone use ivy leaves for mulch?
you sure can!
How much more have they grown?..It's fall here in the South..I'm very anxious about the results of my grafts..bark grafted like in the video..
Grown a lot. The Reed graft is holding 5 avocados
@@AJTheGraftMan Did they grow evenly?..
@@AJTheGraftMan Really Hope they take..(grafted a reed by the way)..but I guess only time will tell..
@@AJTheGraftMan When do reeds ripen that side?
Unevenly
Good day sir,pls if grafting avocado how many years it takes to be fruit?
Depends on many factors. Generally it takes about 2 years
@@AJTheGraftMan ok sir thanks so much,i have learned much from,God Almighty bless you
Iman James You’re welcome. God bless you too. Be safe
Hi, i have a young, very young Avocado tree...in what age, this tree could be garfted, i can slice part of it to graft onto another seedling?
When the trunk has the thickness of a pencil, it can be grafted
@@AJTheGraftMan nice one. thank you so much...
Yes I would like to take you up on it can you tell me what kind of avocado tree I have ?
Poo pah I don't know how to send a photo so as I stand in front of this
Can you craft a type A with a type B?
Yes you can!
@@AJTheGraftMan Can you graft your typical Lamb Hass, for example, to a dwarf root stock? I’m new to all this.
TomYi247 yes you can. All avocado varieties are graft compatible to each other. You cannot graft avocado to apple or mango or anything else. Only avocado to avocado
Hi ajmal am i able to ur mother avacado tree different varieties of scion pls
When should i prune avocado trees??
Only if it gets too tall. It’s your decision on how tall you want your tree to be
@@AJTheGraftMan thanks buddy but i was specific about what time of year??😀😀
@@hm_chronic winter
@@AJTheGraftMan sorry to bother again but is it pre winter or post winter?
I wonder what could happen, if the SCIONS borrowed from the mother tree that was grown from the seed and the and grafted on the same tree ? Will the mother tree give the fruit more quickly from the grafted tree, than from the tree already grown from the seed itself ?
Interesting question. I’m not sure
Can i get some scion pls
thank you . Your orange tree has a fungal disease
Yes indeed
Wash your finger nails for a change you carry a lot of bad stuff over to your crafts
No. I don’t do “crafts”
How is your tree doing? Will you do an update video?
Tree is doing great. The Reed scion significantly outgrew the Pinkerton. I did a poor job of balancing their growth. I’ll do a whole garden tour video and include this tree. Stay tuned...
