Update for May 2021:
Dear friends and our youtube channel followers, a lot of water has flown under the bridge since this last video and if you watched the video carefully i constantly express how this is a constant learning process and how i keep on improving on my skills and technique as i learn more about myself and the process of grafting. I have made a few changes with time, and this is because we all want to be environmentally friendly and frugal so we use only the essential products, spending least amount of money, and some changes based on our microclimate here in South Florida.
1. First change was to switch from electric tape to reusable clothespins to hold the union together. Found out that electric tape makes a wet, humid environment because it does not allow the tissue to breathe. Plus, clothespins can be re-used again so they are more environmentally friendly compared to electric tape which is a one time use. I use clothespin over the layer of buddy tape which is wrapped securely over the union. I use 3-4 clothespins stacking one over another.
2. Second change is about the plastic cover on top. I do not do this in drier months like April, May, October, November. But in June, July and August it is very rainy here in South Florida and i need to protect union from rain water seepage. I remove the plastic cover after 3 weeks, esp. after the scion starts to push. The plastic cover can be reused and you can use any plastic that came with your groceries instead of discarding it, and recycle it in special plastic recyclers after (like the bins in Home Depot or Publix). Plastic cover does not burn the scion, many people showed concern but it doesn't work this way even in the hottest months if you leave a small opening at the bottom for air circulation, so no greenhouse effect.
3. I tried putting tree grafting wax to cover the union. It seems to work great for arid climates but here in Florida it was a disaster :)

In this video, i want to show you 5 mistakes i made while learning how to graft. I watched tons of youtube videos on grafting and felt like i was doing all the steps correctly, using all the equipments as suggested by the grafting gurus but still had only 5-10% takes on my grafts. Then i started experimenting and changing small subtle things in my grafting and started to see my takes go up to 50%, and then to 70- 80%. So I decided to share my experience with you guys, the 5 crucial mistakes i made and how i corrected them to get better success rates. It helped me get out of the failure frustration that a beginner grafter gets, and inspiration to get going. Once someone is adept at grafting, every technique and grafting process seems to work well, and these 5 mistakes will not mean much, so this video is not intended for the grafting pros. It is intended to inspire new grafters to experiment with their technique, to see what works for them and in their specific climate/growing zone, as every place and everyone's technique is unique, and one will eventually have their own technique that works.

I thank you so much for the grafting detail mistakes. I'm beginner 101. I watch several grafting technique on line and feel very confidence grafting the whip n tongue, clefting and approaching style. I did 15 grafting fruit trees into 4 trees using electrical tape and very thin plastic bags. 2 months later, I was very dissapointed all my grafting fail except two made it. I was very happy and had realizes only the clefting style works. You are right the fail ones cambium never touch and it dry out. So I re graft all the fail scions ones by doing the cleft grafting using the same scion. In 45 days later, all 13 grafting become 100% success. I was so proud of myself first time learn to graft. I learn this clefting style from Charles from IV- organic on TH-cam. The only different is - I use electrical tape and thin plastic bag not his fishing line. Thank you so much for confirming the detail 5 mistakes. I never thought of doing the side grafting before, seems easy your way. I will try to graft my jackfruits tree next week.
Good luck, jackfruits have been the toughest to graft for me, side grafts fail almost always, please try cleft or even better approach graft for jackfruits.
Thanks for your doing it differently video. Grafting videos are many but the chances of making success out of them are very slim
You're right, my brother! I have been learning to graft trees since I was in high school. I watched TH-cam videos and did exactly what they did, but I have wondered why none of them worked. That's when I started to research more on What to do and What to avoid. Grafting in your backyard is fun and seeing them succeed is very satisfying plus you get to have a lifetime skill that you can pass to younger generations.
Thanks for your kind words. It feels great to hear other people's grafting stories! 🙌🏽

Very calm and a true tutor
I am very greatful for your unique kindness in trying to prevent us from the same mistakes you made. I am also encouraged because I have made also same mistakes and was discouraged. Thanks a lot
Thank you for the great feedback 🙏
Will save huge number of human hours around the world with smiles on their faces. thank you so much. it was very lovely to listen and to watch. Very informative yet simple.
Very useful practical tips, thank you for sharing.
so simple, easy to understand, wonderful and valuable information, thank you...
Thank you for your advice, it is extremely useful,
Thanks for encouraging to try better even fail.
Very informative and will go a long way to help amateurs.
Thank you very much dear for giving such a wonderful information on grafting. Now I’m aware of the mistakes I was doing. Thank you very much for the information and god bless you dear 👍
Thank you sir for the tips.. Excellent video
Wow what a great video Thank you!!!
Thank you. I have watched many videos and have not started yet but this really cut to the chase 🙂
Excellent tips. Many thanks. This gives me more confidence.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for educating us.
So helpful! Thanks!!
What a handy video. Thank you so much!
Very worthwhile video. For starters I'm ditching the parafilm that I've long suspected was a weak link. Especially given that my stock was old.
Thanks for the tips ..
Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge.
You have explained in a very simple language and in a strait way. Congraturations. Very good for us begginers. I have also been a victim of similar mistakes! I was succesiful in grafting guava, lemon and avocado but mostly failed in mango and jackfruit! I will try to improve my grafting by abiding more to your advice from your experience. Many thanks.
Good luck 🍀! Jackfruit and sapodilla have been the most difficult, so don’t get discouraged if your jackfruit grafts fail. I only succeed in approach grafting those. Once i figure out a good technique with high success rates for jack and sapodilla, i will post it here.
Thank you sir for taking the time in this very educating video.
You are a Master!!!!!🙏🏼
🤙🏼💪🏼🏆😎🤜🏼🤛🏼
Very useful and informative video. I was hesitant about trying to graft but I feel more confident know after watching your video.Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! Stay tuned, we're coming up with more grafting advice soon! 🌱

wonderful explanation.....and sharing.
Thank you, I needed this
Excellent and thank you for the encouragement .
You are welcome 🙏
Excellent....like the way u speak and descrbe things.
Another awesome video, thank you for the great information I watched many grafting videos none explained it like you did.
Glad it was helpful! 🌱
Thank you very much. That was a very informative video. Great work. Love the content.
Great video! Much needed!
Centering the scion was my mistakes when I started grafting. I've grafted two avocado seedlings, but failed. I am here to see what other mistakes I did, still learning. Only been doing it for like two months.
Good luck! 🙏
I thought you need to have it centered?
Good information 👍thank you and God bless
hi
thank you very much for your video lesson
for the few days I'm going through so many videos .
I'm a beginner just started grafting on mango trees
your video is something different and very useful
thank you
Thank you and enjoy grafting. Mistakes make us learn, grow and evolve.
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
Useful tips. Thanks
Really helpful
I just started grafting two months back but have failed all time. You gave certain good ideas and I will try it again.
Best of luck! 💪🏽
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome! 🙏 Share your grafting successes, please!
excellent video. very useful.
👌Great video, very informative, Thanks for sharing
Very helpful, thankyou. Lovely garden too.
My pleasure 😊
Thank you
Great Video. Nice sounding Guy. Thanks for the knowledge shared.
Very helpful
thank you..there was much more to share but could not fit it in a short video.
Very good information,I LIKED THIS
Many many thanks!
Thank so much new to it but have to learn it
Best of luck! 🙌🏽
Great information. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice.
Thank you sir for your help
You are welcome! Thanks for watching. More grafting videos to come soon :)
Great explanations, informations and tutorial. Keep it up Brother👍👍👍
Thank you very much for the information
You are welcome. Please stay tuned for our next video on grafting where i will be showing changes/improvisations i made since this video.
If u cut the outer bark only then it's fine to center the scion because then u have full cambium contact between the cambium layers on both the scion and the root stock.🤔
Thank you,. It is really very informative. Looking forward to see more of this nature, Keep it up.
Thanks for the feedback! We recently released 5 more grafting mistakes, 1 year update, hope it will be helpful, too! th-cam.com/video/DGSgnSMjgHs/w-d-xo.html
Gud day sir, thank you very much very intesting n educational video, god bless
Excellent tips. ..... i think i wasn't matching the cambium well enough, Thanks
You are welcome
great 👍😇🙏
Thats good brother keet it going to share your knowlegde
I love your video, very educational..
Thank you! Glad you liked it 🙏
Thank for making me know my mistakes, you have done really good job 👍
Thanks for the feedback! My technique is constantly progressing, i’m working on an updated video with more mistakes :) stay tuned!
Ok thanks
Am waiting
Very good description about the 5mistakes, which we usually do at the time of grafting. Thanks.
Thanks
Hi bro. Excellent video. U seem to be a better teacher and inspirer than the so call professionals. I have only had one success in many attempts. And i dont have a clue what i did correctly. I'll definitely take ur advices and try them. Thanks.
Thanks. I have learnt that everyone has their own successful grafting technique. Try different ways, with different thickness of scions and at different times of the year and you will find your own best way.
Very good informative video, thank you !
Glad it was helpful! 🙌🏼
Great!!! Keep it up, man!! I wanna try this here in Kenya.
Best of luck! 🙌🙌🙌
Where in Kenya? My family lived in Nairobi, and that's where I was born.
Of course bro i m also learning by making mistakes.. After almost 10 consecutive grafting mistakes on mango three grafting are successful and I'm so happy to show off these to people who even doesn't know what is it.. That much mad i have gone
Great, practice makes perfect!
Thanks sir
Good evening. Very good and practical narration. Keep it up Brother
Thank you! 🙏
Great video... thanks for sharing
Thanks!! Please update us on your grafts and grafting experiences. We don't have all the mango varieties people grow around here in South FL but i counted our trees/grafted varieties yesterday and we have total of 48 varieties :) , if you need any more scions let us know.
Osho Bodhisattva Meditation Garden will do thank you again..!!
Nice vieo. Saving it
very very informative vid . Hope more vids . Namaste🙏 Love from India Guwahati
Great video! :)
Hi! Truly enjoyed your video. Thank you for being so kind, I will check your website for sure.
You said you took scions a week ago. Did you use it for grafting still? or was that only to show the perfect scion?
Thank you so much for your kind words! I had kept those scions only for the purpose of the video. Normally, in my experience, the scion with least delay - that you can use the soonest after cutting - would be the most ideal, though the one I demonstrated in the video did take. If you are not able to graft it the same day, I recommend putting the scion in a glass of water in a cool place (60-70F, not necessarily in the fridge). Can also be kept in a wet paper towel in a ziploc or an airtight plastic bag.
I just unwrapped three grafts and all three failed. I also noticed that all the grafting videos have experienced grafters showing what to do. I was looking for a video on reasons why grafts failed. This is the first one I found. Thank you!
I looked online for buddy tape on Amazon. There’s one that looks like the one you had on your video. It’s buddy tape for grafting. I didn’t realize buddy tape was used for splinting one finger to another. Anyway it looks very similar to paraffin grafting tape but it’s 5x more expensive. Is it really that much different and better?
Buddy tape is quite different, it is more stretchy and stronger as well. It does not crack open after a few weeks like parafilm, which makes a lot of difference for scions that stay green for a long time and take long to flush. It is about 5 times as expensive. I buy one perforated roll per year and do a lot of grafting, and seems like it lasts for a year. The price was/is $25 per roll with $5 shipping from a forum member at Tropical fruit forum buy/sell page.

What brand did you buy?
@@briantsuzaki9479 I buy Japanese buddy tape brand, AGLIS www.buddytape.com, currently unavailable though but usually sold on both Amazon and eBay...
From 🇮🇳 with ❤...🤝🤝🤝
I’m just starting out and learning all about grafting. This is Very helpful. You clarified the cambium for me and how the scion cambium and the root stock cambium must be aligned. Rain water penetrating the graft?? I had no idea we have to do that. And creating a Micro climate to maintain moisture and humidity!! Good stuff !! Thanks! ….. By the way,, what is the plant behind you with tall stocks in the beginning of the video ? Is that ginger??
Yep, a shell ginger :)
Very informative but how many days were the scion taking after it cut from the mother plant?
Best is to graft as soon as possible, within hours. But if not possible then cover scion with parafilm or buddy tape and put inside airtight ziploc bag. I store them in fridge, not freezer. When ready to graft put them out of fridge, and ziploc bag and cut the base of scion 2-3 mm and then dip the scion base in a water for hydration. Then graft.
Thank so much for sharing where you located so I can come buy trees
Hi, will have my tree sale in March-April, will post on Tropical Fruit Forum when i’m ready to sell. I’m in North Miami Beach.
Great video, i am in rural Africa and can’t get official budding tape. Could i try white plumbing tape, very elastic, water and air tight to?
Thank you. Yes you can use the tape if it is stretchable and insulates the scion from drying out. Good thing about the buddy tape is that one will not need to take the tape off for the bud to push, it usually pushes through the buddy tape.
And if the weather is not very hot, and graft is in shaded area, you can also put a plastic cover on top of the scion after grafting instead of wrapping the scion with any tape.
Sir, Thanks for the tips. What is the name of the spray you use for creating microclimate ? Please give the link sir.
You are welcome. I just spray clean water, the moisture inside creates humid microclimate good for mango graft growth.
Thanks again Can you please provide a link to amazon for the Buddy Take. Thanks.
I buy it through Tropical Fruit forum, there is a member who does a large biannual order
Buddy tape.
Saludos 💯👊
Sir your talking style is very simple and easy to follow . Sir from which apps i can get on line scion order ?
Thank you. If you are in U.S., you can order mango scions online from tropical acres mango farm website. I am not sure how to do that in India. Maybe you can get from Horticulture Institute of your region, probably there is one in Assam or maybe in West Bengal.
Thanks a lot for your advise!
A few questions:
Do you use the same tape (buddy tape I guess) for grafting and for covering the scion?
When do you remove the tape? Or in´t it really necessary?
Are the best months for grafting the same for any other fruit trees?
Thanks
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
I keep on experimenting with it. I always wrap the scion with buddy tape but after i graft, the union sometimes i wrap it only with buddy tape if it is very thin like while grafting 1/16 inch diameter jaboticaba scions. When it is thicker scions i have 3 options i play with. One is wrap tightly with electric tape. Another is use clothespin 2-3 to hold the union after i wrap union with buddy tape and 3rd way is to wrap with buddy tape and then use elastic rubber band to hold the union secure. I found different times of year different things work. Like the high humidity month i can not use electric tape because it caused the union to rot from too much heat and humidity trapped inside. I can use electric tape in spring and fall in subtropical climate but in summer i will use rubber band or better just 2 clothespins.
No, best months for different fruit trees are different. Always graft annonas, mulberries and guavas in spring when the tree starts to push new growth. Loquats fo well in spring but they can take in summer too. Mangoes for me were good in May/June and then in October. Jackfruit and Mamey/sapotes do well when air humidity decreases but is still warm like mid October to mid November. This is for south Florida, and is my experience, other places may have different requirements.
@@growpuravida Clothespins! Interesting concept... Some years ago I bought a grafted mamey, and the union started to open (!!!) short after I took the tape off. As some others ended getting dry the same way, I got alarmed, so I made a try by placing a tight cable tie on the opening place, and it worked fine. It´s still alive.
I still haven´t graft anything yet, and now I want to graft a 3 years old seedling caimito (Chrysophyllum cainito). Do you have any experience with them? What season is better for caimitos? Thanks again.
I have no experience yet grafting caimito but i have a seedling in 3g and planning to do it after spring when night temps are above 70F, around beginning of May here in Florida.
the u 4 sharing your talent w/t is, how many days br u remove the plastic bag.
thank you. I remove the bag once i see that the new leaves from the scion have matured. Sometimes a scion pushes new leaves but they are not from union but from the stored energy in the scion itself. These new leaves will dry off in a few days. Usually if the scion pushes after 4 weeks it is after a good union and the leaves will continue to mature.
Im idian gadener u nice work. I canada
thank you for this amazing video. I have failed many times. one thing i didnt know was that the cambium layers on the sides should perfectly match. Thank you. Also would you be willing to send me a couple of scions since i only have one variety ie kensington pride and would like to experiment more. ? Elton
You are welcome. I do not sell scions at the moment , you can get them from farms around, tropical acres mango farm for example.
I think lots of people make mistake no.3 because of the over emphasis by professionals on matching sizes of scion and rootstock...rather than emphasising importance of matching cambiums of scion and r.stock on one side... 4 get about the other side.
Thank you 😊 I will keep on trying. I thought bud wood occurred during April or may. You are saying it can occur In September or only if the tree is actively growing leaves...confusing part.
You can harvest budwood/scion when the mother tree is actively growing. The best scion is one that has at least one active bud and is hardened(not soft and new growth). Grafting can be done during any month that is warm, with weather that promotes growth of the rootstock tree. In different countries or climate the best month to graft will be different. You will have to protect the graft from rain, sun and wind, but any warm month will do if you have these protections in place.
I enjoyed your video because you are a good teacher. Could you please tell me why I fail in grafting young avocado seedling? Whenever I graft young avocado seedling, new shoot will sprout from under and the Scion will dried out. Kindly help
Thank you very much. May i ask you which technique you used for that avocado seedling? Side graft or top cleft graft? In top cleft, after you graft the plant will try to push buds and sprout from underneath the graft, do not let them grow, nip them off with finger when they bud out. If you let them grow, plant will ignore your graft and use this new sprout as a leader branch. I usually do side graft on seedlings for this reason.
@@growpuravida I used cleft graft . Thanks
Will the entire tree grow fruit after a certain branch is grafted into or will only that branch produce fruit?
Only the grafted branch will bear fruit as it is a branch from a mature fruiting tree. The entire will eventually bear fruit after maturity, at 6-7 years age, but they will be different taste fruits than the ones from the grafted branch. Remember, do not let the grafted branch bear fruit for the first year after graft, if it flowers nip the flowers off.
Terimakasih
I’m about to do my 1st graft on peach trees
Good luck! 🍀
What kind of spray do you used ?
Just filtered water
Electrical tape works for me - and it is MUCH cheaper. IT is KEY to make the wrap TIGHT, and Water tight.
Yes it works for me too in spring when there is lowest humidity, but i don’t take chances now.
I love it pliz teach me how to do it.frm Zambia
In the description there are links to instructional videos. They are very detailed and i myself learned grafting watching them and practicing a lot:) good luck!
