How to Create New Branches on Your Tree With Grafting!

You don't need a stem or another branch to graft onto anymore. You can custom build your fruit tree with branches at any location you desire. You can graft directly onto the main trunk and get a fruitful branch growing fast. Within just a few years your branch should start to make lots of fruit. This technique works really well with all stone fruits, citrus, figs, mulberries, apples, pears, quince, annonas and more. Enjoy!

I’d love to smoke a joint with this guy.

[@Braddy_Daddy]

Love your grafts, great work!!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@RobertSolo714]

You make it look so easy!!😂😂😂 I might give it a shot someday. Thank you for the video 🤙

[@hawaiigirl5588]

So educational! Thank you!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Seaheart88]

That's awesome man! Good job!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@randomguy2246]

Saw you at the scion exchange in Costa Mesa. i was gonna greet you but you were talking to the guy with the razzmatazz grape. i always use cleft grafts with deciduous trees and i have had lots of success.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Dude, I wanted to meet you… next time hopefully

[@marycampbell4160]

Outstanding thanks for sharing

[@AJTheGraftMan]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@margaretmarshall3645]

Very cool! That might be just the solution I need to grafting a fig that doesn’t have all the scaffold branches I want. My grafting success has been mixed so far, but when it works it’s like alchemy. Still learning; thanks for being part of that process!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! Glad to help!

[@toplad73]

Fantastic video. Watching from London 😊. How long before you take the tape off? Many thanks.

[@bosquebear1]

I love your videos... so informative! You have inspired me to try.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@user-pp3ym2yr7t]

Great video, am just getting into avocados here in Belzie!

[@larrypollman5243]

Thank you.

[@yusufnoorzayee6898]

Love it, thanks

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@LeeDahlia]

Do you have a video showing how to do this on the main trunk as that is what I will need to do?

[@angrybees8122]

I love it

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

I don’t grow trees or plants but cool video

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@reneestrada6026]

I appreciate this video. Will it work on an oak tree?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I don't know.

[@alfredopampanga9356]

I’ve had no success with this type bark grafting. Wonder how successful you are

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Seems to work well for me

[@onortosu]

Hello, thank you for the videos! I have a question that maybe you can help me with, I grafted some avocado branches about 1 year ago, and this year they flowered already and have began setting fruitlets. Do you think I should take off the fruit from the 1yr grafted branches or leave them on? The tree root system is over 7 years old, and the tree is over 12 ft tall and 13 ft wide with good canopy so I'm not worried about the tree overall, just the grafted branches. Thank you!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Great question. The answer is too long to write here.

[@robertkistler8505]

How long do you leave the buddy tape on

[@alfredopampanga9356]

More information on time of year this can be done

[@AJTheGraftMan]

That’s mentioned in the video

[@karol_pl526]

Does this works also for conifers?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I don't know

[@manojjacob8196]

Where do you buy that buddy tape?

[@johnsonrobbins]

What are your thoughts if you graft scionwood to an avocado tree and after 6 weeks there is no sign of budding? Graft isnt dying and its still green but just doing nothing.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I just posted a picture of a graft that took 13 months to grow out! Patience is key with grafting…

[@johnsonrobbins]

@@AJTheGraftMan that’s good to know. I read somewhere that budding happens within 4-6 weeks so I was confused why nothing good or bad was happening

[@mannygi1977]

About how long until i can take the grafting plastic off?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I would let it disintegrate on its own

[@hernanlopez2953]

Nice work! Where do you buy/get the scions. I’m in LA area as well.

[@jbirdfunk]

Look for a CRFG scion exchange, California rare fruit growers.

[@hernanlopez2953]

@@jbirdfunkthank you

[@ccarlsted]

Will this work on Apple trees?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Yes

[@sayeedahmad5620]

I am doubful about its sucessful results. The scion bark never thrives when grafted under the canopy shade of plant. I had tried this method, but failed to get the desired result as the graft had very little growth.

[@margaretmarshall3645]

But he SHOWED how successful last year’s veneer graft was, not far away on the same tree! Maybe yours was in a position or facing a direction where it got less sun than his example.

[@alfredopampanga9356]

Grafting onto 3 year old wood means fewer takes

[@teresawelcome8354]

Oh my gosh; your camera!! 😖😡
