Grafting an Apple Tree at Woodleaf Farm

Grafting an apple tree at Woodleaf Farm with Carl Rosato

I seen 3 methods lol

[@hunterreed1010]

This is a fantastic video demonstration with no fluff. Pure education baby! Nice work and thank you!

[@AgrarianDreams]

Harvest the scionwood during the later part of the dormant season while the buds are still tight. Store in the fridge wrapped in a moist towel inside of a partially open plastic bag. Grafting can begin before the tree is ready to push its buds and continue after the leaves have pushed late into the spring. Here in Northern California I start grafting in mid February and go until about late April.

[@tamarabonet9438]

I live in Northern, Ca as well :) This video was just what I needed to learn to graft my apple tree. What month do you put your scion wood in the fridge? January and then start grafting in February? I don't want to have my wood start getting mold in the fridge so I am hoping one month will be okay.

Wow thank you... if you wrap them in a towel, do you have to change the towel? In wisconsin we have longer winters ? Thx

[@thaffardabesh1653]

Love that you followed up with the end result. Great video! Thank you!

[@TomBrueggen]

I also really appreciate the follow up at the end to see how they did!

Wow...I didn't know graphing was as easy as it looked...thanks for the info...I have a good bit of fruit trees ... this could really come in handy. ♥ :)

[@gazmirlame1]

[@JamesMiller-wg7mf]

awesome, love hearing the frogs in the background in the first section

[@MrGrenfrog]

Nice video. It's very clear, very easy to follow and understand. Overall very well done. Thank you!

[@Cordaway666]

you are an amazing inspiration !

[@TomBrueggen]

Wow, very good video. I appreciate that you showed all the different types in one video, and with good camera angle to see it all. Grafting is so simple in theory (and in action it appears) but I'm still nervous that I won't do it right. I just pruned a few various fruit trees in my own yard and grafted some of the pruned wood back on lower to help shape the tree with a better crotch. If it doesn't work it's no big deal. I guess what I did were all side grafts, but I cut off the bark flap. I can see now I should not have done that. So it's a combination of a side and a whip graft I guess. Is there a particular time that's best to graft? Like, right at bud swell? I worry I may have done it a bit soon, but I think we'll start seeing bud swell in the next month or so down here in Houston. The cambium layer was green and moist.

[@Speakersoxx]

Excellent video. Informative, clear and showing the result. Pretty much everything you want.

[@baldieman64]

A year ago, grafting was "the dark arts", but I had a KZbin binge, gave it a go and everything took, although I had one graft ripped of by some idiot blundering through my property and another that was displaced but re-healed. This year, I have some confidence and have done a dozen or so grafts of varieties that are impossible to obtain locally but can be mail ordered as scions.

[@phobos2k2]

I've only just learned about this and I think it's the coolest thing ever!

[@unlimitedwealth1]

[@MirYasirAltaf]

Really great video.

[@royske123]

The best informative graft video ever seen on youtube thank you , and what is the wax? Where to get the wax? Thanks

[@AgrarianDreams]

I use bee's wax which comes from the honey bee's hives. There are other waxes that would work fine like cheese wax. Also there are paints that do a fine job of covering the grafts, one is called Doc Farwell's tree seal. Thanks for your compliment

[@eliellard]

wow nicely done!

[@vuqarqedirov9799]

Thanks for teaching

[@mahirheybetov8148]

Thanks a lot very useful information . I think I easily do this after whaching this video .

[@GIANTSECRETS]

I graft roses stone fruits apples and citrus using the narrow green tape. I just tape the whole scion as well and also cover with clear tape, in particular for citrus in spring since they are bad for having moisture loss. I just cut down the middle and match the scion to it. Works great.

[@stevenwurtz7225]

Wish I could see you in video demo

[@txhypnotist]

FIVE STARS *****, Thanks for sharing all of your insightful information, I really appreciate what you are doing and sharing with everyone in the world. Including me… Make it a great day.

[@AgrarianDreams]

I use the side graft when the size of the freshly cut branch is over about 2 or 3 inches which is too big to split for making a cleft graft. Also the side graft can be used to add a graft in the middle of the tree to make another branch.

[@petro062]

This is great.

[@profil1976]

nice work..very good video..thx

[@AgrarianDreams]

The green plastic tape is common garden tape easily found in many garden centers. It comes in a few different widths.

[@MyLily54]

Thanks for sharing yr video n technique of grafting an apple tree at woodleaf farm, it is interesting. Can I do it with other fruit trees?

[@gideondimai2082]

I really enjoyed your updates. I find it very educating. Can you please advise, i just purchased apple M26 rootstock...so, when can i graft the scion wood onto the rootstock? Thank you once again.

[@AgrarianDreams]

+gideon dimai With rootstock that is not in the ground yet I benchgraft close to the time that I will plant the tree in the ground. Here in Northern California that is usually in February.

[@Maz1989]

Hey, great video, which season to you graft this tree in?

[@chhanhimavanchhawng7965]

Good vedio 👍what solution do you use after grafting pl.great vedio

[@johnnygonzales3211]

[@daimlerblanco3752]

Wao thanks that was an amazing video

[@fengyun5310]

Great video! Specially followed up to show the results. Very educational. Thanks! One question, can I graft apple tree on crap apple trees? crap apple trees are native trees in New Jersey.

[@AgrarianDreams]

Yes, you can graft a apple on to a crab apple.

[@fengyun5310]

Thanks! Would you please recommend where to buy the graft wood?

[@AgrarianDreams]

I harvest the scion wood for grafting in late winter from trees that I know to be of a great variety. I think that it might be difficult to find scion wood to buy.

[@ProfoundConfusion]

Hi Feng Yun, Please look online for "North American Scion Exchange". You can trade scions by mail. If you have nothing to trade yourself, you can offer to pay postage/bubblewrap envelope & offer a small payment to someone who has the variety (s) you want to try grafting. It's an online community & the people are often helpful.

[@fengyun5310]

Thank you! I will definitely keep this resource. I am new, just start this year, my apple tree will come on the end of month, I will have to wait to graft. But I will do when it is ready. Enjoy your video,thanks.

[@jenralphfreeman9554]

Hey, I really appreciate the detailed step-by-step instructions on various types of grafting. ALSO, thanks for the late season followup with the same grafting job to see how the growth took. I've used a cleft graft on one of my peach varieties (on a sacrifice branch) and I am excited to see the outcome. I have 3 apple trees close to each other and would like to graft in two of the other varieties into one tree just to try something cool. I believe those online companies sell trees that have three varieties the cross pollinate each other already. So that's how they do it!! Thanks again..

Hey! With your help I was able to successfully graft a half dozen or so scions onto my trees this spring. I'm wondering tho, when should I remove the tape and sealant?

[@moditsinghpanwar456]

Nice grafting

[@tunacatcher2003]

im from long beac. california,usda zone10b.when is the best month to collect scion wood and when is the best month to graft and tbudding on apple tree..ty so much.

[@pakistaniorganicfood3897]

Good luck and good worke

[@elenashumega]

спасибо, хороший урок.

[@AgrarianDreams]

Since I am a Certified Organic farmer I use beeswax to seal the graft from moisture getting to it.

[@muzafarshah7404]

Is there another option?

[@TheOthman79]

very good.thanks a lot

[@small-timegarden]

the beeswax is a good idea. even placing a plastic soda bottle over the scion-stalk junction can work

[@mamba52us]

Can you graft in fall? Great video. Thanks

[@musicbymark]

Have you tried Tree Kote or Tree Wound instead of having the hassle of melting the wax? Great job summarizing several methods at once.

[@hunterreed1010]

Much better to use a beeswax-based product if you use any at all. Some of the others like Tanglefoot's Tree Wound are made with sweetened petroleum gasses, ethyl-benzene, dimethyl-benzene, and black acetylene (I doubt you'd want it on your wound.) IV Organics is a fantastic product but costs $40 a can (however, I think you dilute it to at least half, so, worth it?) I'm a professional fruit tree specialist and pruner, for what it's worth.

[@musicbymark]

@@hunterreed1010 Are you sure the petroleum and other chemicals in tanglefoot prove problematic? Is there evidence that any significant amount ends up in the fruit, or that it damages the tree? We put petroleum jelly on babies and on our lips of course, and all the plastics in our lives are petroleum based, albeit not dissolved. I've also noticed some grafters claimants of utmost importance to paint any dark black wound sealer white, to avoid overheating. However, I don't recall noticing many grafts failing once they take so I'm not sure overheating is an issue where I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

[@magnummesiona72]

It's wonderful , can you please spell for me the name of the wax you are using and the tape and where could I buy that stuffs???? ..... thanks a lot ....

[@AgrarianDreams]

I only graft in the late winter. I chip bud citrus in the fall.

[@ISHTIYAQ-AHMAD]

very helpful.

[@qumatru]

Hi there, would you please give me some advice? I'd like to graft some of my more appreciated trees onto rootstock that has grown wildly in the yard. Do I have to take the scion and store it over winter or can I do it at the same time I begin grafting(which I suppose it's before vegetation starts). Thank you, nice videos.

[@hunterreed1010]

As long as the scions are dormant you should be good. You do not have to store over Winter. You can do it at the same time.

[@AllenProxmire]

perfect. thanks.

[@arunseigell7361]

excellent tutorial &demo but cud do with a close up for better visualisation of the scions

[@bmlsb]

When taping the graft, can you secure it with duct tape or electrical tape to keep it from coming off ?

[@skylerlandale1437]

does grafting work by combining traits of two plants together? like can you graft lilac with crab apple and then you will get a crab apple tree smelling a little like lilac??

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

nice video, just curious why you use the green tying tape instead of 4 mil white propagation tape which wont girdle. of course if you are only doing a couple of grafts in the back yard. I guess its no big deal to remove it.

a very large branch fell off an oak tree during a storm and knocked the top off two maple trees that I had started and were doing quite nicely. the tops that were lost were several inches in diameter. I have many trees in my yard. Is it possible to take a small tree and graft it to the top of my injured trees. Where might I find an example of doing such a project. I am assuming I would have to splint the old to new sections.

Just before bud break, unless you're doing bud grafting, which is done in summer time.

thanks for the sharing this video .If I ask what is that water that you call it wax ?

[@markscott529]

Bee wax. From harvesting honey. A beekeeper will have it. Also most garden stores.
