Sir, should my scion have buds on it for successful grafting? Or can I just have nodes only in my scion( without bud )? I grafted using scion that has 5 nodes ( without buds ). Please, reply 🙏

Haha funny thoughtful video and so helpful thanks. Can I add more sugar to my mandarin juice to make it sweeter before the fermentation? Can I also use a balloon on the top of the bottle for safety rather than a swing top? Very new to this, any tips welcome. I just want to create fruity minimally alcoholic sodas from fruit juices at home with ginger bug.

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. I'd like to try doing this with a ginger bug sometime, but I haven't done it yet so I don't know how to do it safely. I don't think you'd get much carbonation if you used a balloon on top of the bottle, but on the other hand an exploding glass bottle sounds pretty scary and I don't know the risk of that. I got one of the first Australian models of the gadget that I used shipped from the U.S., but I see that they are now available in Australia on Amazon.com.au: www.amazon.com.au/DrinkMate-Sparkling-Carbonates-Re-usable-Carbonating/dp/B01EDNNGKK It makes a great non-alcoholic carbonated fruit juice, but you need the CO2 cartridges. But if you want to do it with a ginger bug you may be able to find some other videos that show how to do it safely. Your food forest looks wonderful! I'd love to have something like that, but I'm doing my best with my suburban lot in Sydney. Sorry to see the damage you took from the cyclone. Good luck with the carbonated fruit juices!

Hi, I’ve been watching your videos to learn how to graft and this technique has worked and successfully took. I did three grafts onto one rootstock. Two took and I’m not sure if I can let the two grafts grow? Should I cut one off and only let the other grow? Thank you

It can be longer, but it it is too long it is more likely to dry out and die before healing.

ive been growing a lemon tree from a store bought lemon since 2015. i have yet to see flowerd or fruit, i hsve tons of thorns, ive beeen deciding to graft from a 222 year old meyer lemon tree. Should i wait a few more years to see if it blooms? any information or advice is greatly appreciated
@Fruitmentor

Where do you live? Where do you intend to grow the tree? Outside or in a container? The 222 year old Meyer lemon tree seems doubtful because Meyer brought it back from China in 1908: web.archive.org/web/20210122223501/citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/improvedmeyer.html The variety that Meyer brought back had citrus diseases that were later removed. A tree from a store-bought lemon could also have diseases: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5SUg6uuosxmj6s

@@Fruitmentor im growing it from a seed. Just was curious if it would produce fruit eventually. It grows outside in summer and brought inside for winter.
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor 12 күн бұрын
Growing it in a pot would make it difficult to get it to fruit. The tree has to grow quite a bit to make it possible. It can take many years for a seedling citrus tree to bear fruit even if planted in the ground. Even if your tree eventually fruited the fruit might be terrible. If you live somewhere where it is too cold to grow citrus outside, you could probably graft your tree without worrying too much about spreading diseases.

Hey Paco, you need to graft at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock on the face of the stock (receiving limb/stock). It is after all it is a “tree” which means that it is acrotonic (upward growth habit, not a vine/ivy). The external upper arch (in between the 10-2 o’clock postions)of the exposed cut will be more auxin (growth stimulating hormone) rich and encourage better success overall, create a smoother continuous union AND provide less lateral pressure (gravitational influence) = future vegetative and fruit weight that can fracture the developing union if cantilevered. If only 1 scion is available place the scion at 12 o’clock. If the 12 o’clock site is not smooth/ receptive look to re-cut the receiving stock so that you can find an apical position. Better yet scout where the stock (higher or lower than a hasty decision) cut can be best accessed prior to cutting. Your technique in general is very good. Both with incisions and sealing. Cheers.

My only question is what do you do to prevent citrus greening disease, it's so common in Florida I don't recommend planting citrus anymore
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor Ай бұрын
If I lived in Florida, I think I’d build a screened structure in the yard to exclude Asian citrus psyllids. I’d buy citrus trees directly from the production nursery and plant them in the structure. That is the one sure way I know to successfully grow citrus in Florida now. When I was a child my grandparents had citrus trees in their yard in Florida. I loved climbing the trees, picking the fruit, and eating it. If I ever moved to Florida, I can’t imagine not growing citrus trees. I’d make it work with the screened structure.

What do you mean by “make it resistant to cold or snowfall”? They are in California’s Central Valley where freezes aren’t a big problem. If they sell cuttings, it is likely only in large quantities that would be too expensive for a hobbyist.

Is it posible to revers the grasted tree to its original one
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor Ай бұрын
If you graft a tree to a new variety, it is possible to go back to the previous variety if there is an interstock between the new variety and the rootstock. There should be dormant buds on the interstock that would start to grow if the graft is cut off. But usually dormant buds on the rootstock would start growing too, so it is very important in a case like this to remove any shoots from the original rootstock. Otherwise the rootstock might take over.

Hi everyone is grafting taking cuttings for example from a pear tree and placing them in a Apple tree so you change the tree to a pear tree. I was looking for a video for having more success with growing cuttings for a chilli 🌶 plant and stumbled on this video seems interesting thankyou.

That is one application for grafting as shown in this video. It is more typical to graft fruits that are more similar to each other. Sometimes there are compatibility issues (maybe one reason for graft failure in this video) when more distantly related fruits are grafted. Fruit trees are usually propagated by grafting a desired fruit variety to a rootstock: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aafbgZ6Pp9Z4idk

I ordered some bud wood in the mail from CCPP and each come with 3 buds or more. Does it make sense to cut them in half or thirds and attempt multiple grafts from one bud wood or just use the entire thing in a single graft?
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor Ай бұрын
I think it is a good idea to cut it and attempt multiple grafts. In my latest video I did that with the Feminello lemon grafts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnWbloOqa7CJY7s I did two grafts with the same scion. It increases the chance of success in case one fails. And if a scion graft is too long I think that may reduce the chance of success because there is more surface area to dry out.

One thing I've never been able to find info about is this = if you graft successfully with one or two small points of cambium contact, is this enough to support the future branch/ tree? What happens at that union with time - does it remain a 'bottleneck', or does the cambium reconnect all the way around? Do you know?
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor 2 ай бұрын
The cambium get reconnected at 4:38 in this video you can see how the tree starts to heal even on the back side where there was no cambium contact. In my newest video at the 1:05 point you can see a nice example of what happens to a graft union after there has been more time for the new branch to grow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnWbloOqa7CJY7s
@mirabilo
@mirabilo 2 ай бұрын
​@Fruitmentor so if I understand this correctly, the small contact between RS and scion cambium as grafting keeps the scion alive until it takes and then slowly the cambiums reconnect around the entire circumference of RS and scion??
@Fruitmentor
@Fruitmentor Ай бұрын
That’s my understanding. The plant first fills in the area with a tissue called callus tissue, kind of like the scar tissue that forms when we get cut.

Yes. That can help, but in my experience it doesn’t always work. The best bet is to cut off the branch above the graft.

@Fruitmentor

The problem with air layering is that the new plant will have any diseases from the tree from which it was taken. With this technique, I was trying to root cuttings known to be disease-free from a clean budwood program so that I could be certain that my new plant would be free of disease.
