How To Graft Avocado 3

[@GraftingTactick]

Nice sharing friend, great video 🤝💕

[@LiliansGardens]

I understand what you mean about preserving these great varieties. Once i went along a lane and thought I will like to cut some of those plant to root in my place A month later I went the same way... lo and behold those plants had been taken down. I didn't go to cut it because it gets so dark nowadays. I was so sad for a bit. Thanks for what you do

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thank you. I can relate to your feeling. It seems some people don’t appreciate plants at all, but hopefully we can continue to spread the word, and I’m positive that will change 🙂🌱

[@pingpaj]

Love your videos, i go over them several times just to see if i missed something. Your soil must be pretty rich also to support all those different avocado varieties. Would love to see all the different avocados you will harvest. Thank you for sharing!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thank you. I appreciate your support :)

[@davedrewett2196]

I think it’s great the you are preserving the genetics like you do. Kudos

[@TurmericRootKitchen]

hi, watch my cooking video n let me know your thoughts and support me also. thank you

[@CaramiaJinx]

I think I'm half-elf because when I see trees being knocked down it's always heartbreaking. Especially such old ones. I live on the east coast in GA- so I don't think I'll be able to have much success with growing these but, I adored watching your grafting. Thanks for showing us all how it's done.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

yes it's quite sad to see. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it :)

Hi Ajmal thanks for the lovely video, you said time to graft is late winter, earlier spring these times apply to Australia Perth. I ask you because I have been in South America (Chile) and they graft the avocados in December. I'm interested to know went to do it in Perth. Thank you, Ajmal

[@AJTheGraftMan]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. The weather in Perth seems to be quite similar to southern California, so the same grafting times should work. Good luck :)

[@abelmendez8409]

Hi aj great video.like always. say do you help local people? I am in Pomona Ca ? but not free.

[@Lex-pw9yx]

Question: how long does a graft typically take to start pushing new growth? Thanks and thanks for the videos 👍

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Depends on many factors, like time of year, weather, type of tree, etc. but in general, you should see some push anywhere between 3 weeks to 8 weeks

[@viperh9948]

One thought, if you place you grafts under the older leaf canopy or the shadier side of the tree, you will have less sun damage. Specially if you graft in the later winter/early spring. They will need sun protection most of the time. Very helpful video. Thank you.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Viper H yes indeed

[@bigoliveira2617]

Boa noite! Notei que seus enxertos é só sucesso. Você usa somente Buddy Tape para enxertar?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Boa noite! Já tive muitas falhas também. Eu uso somente Parafilm tape, que existe para enxertia.

[@juliomagana5618]

Awesome job on ur Avocado tree how long till u remove the grafting tape till the bond is secured

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! In most cases the tape will slowly begin to fall off on its own. If not, you can remove it after the 2nd growth flush of the graft matures

[@CurryMouth]

Post grafting, is the plant watered as normal?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Yes watered normally

Could I please cover the avocado buds with Paraflim grafting tape when I am grafting young avocado seedling..? Can the buds able to brake through to the Paraflim grafting tape ....? It is very important to me to know ... Please let me know .I am your big fan from Myanmar....

[@chrismbugua1887]

Can I use cling film if I don't get grafting tape?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

It’s worth a try

[@chrismbugua1887]

I looked for grafting tape and I didn't get. I hope my graft will be successful because I used cling film, it's been two weeks now, it has not dried yet.

[@bigoliveira2617]

Lindo vídeo amigo! Você usou alguma proteção após enxerto? (Proteção do sol para não queimar)

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Muito obrigado! Usei não porque o clima naquele tempo estava bom, não fazia calor. Mas se quiser fazer enxertia durante o verão ou durante os tempos de calor, recomendo você embrulhe o galho com papel de alumínio

[@jamestnguyen2165]

Have you ever try t-budding avocado scion? I think with t-budding, success rate is very high because you will always have perfect contact between the scion & root stock whereas with cleft graft, it can be a challenge to align the cambium layer. But with t-budding, the growth rate is slower than cleft graft.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

James T Nguyen I’ve never tried this. Looks interesting

Hi are you leaving the graft avocado on the tree or are you transferring it? Thank you.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Yes leaving. Thanks for watching.

[@shanghaimuts]

ajmal, yet another fantastic video. i can't get over how chunky your scions are! the pieces i get are at the end of branches and so they are small compared to what i'm seeing you do. i'm all over this 'preservation' gig so big ups to you for doing what you're doing. i only wish it were easy to share scion wood internationally cos i'd be keen for any of your scions. what i also was impressed with was how well-developed your scion was after six weeks. many of mine have taken but not nearly as developed. too bad we can't share pics on here. good luck.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thank you! Yes I wish we could share scions. I'm sure there are varieties there that we here have never seen, and vice-versa.

[@PinoyGrafter]

How do keep you avocado small? 😀😀😀 PINOY GRAFTER 😀😀😀

[@AJTheGraftMan]

It's a dwarf variety

[@gp9826]

Hey! first off absolutely LOVE your videos! Question… Can I graft my avocado scion onto other trees that are not avocado trees? Just received cuttings from a neighbour’s fruiting tree, but I don’t have an avocado tree of my own. Is there any other common types of trees where using your method would allow my grafts to work? Thank you so much for your help! :)

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! Unfortunately, that isn’t possible. Avocado must be grafted to an avocado tree. However, peach, plum, nectarine, apricot, and cherry are all graft compatible. You can graft any of those onto each other

[@franklin38]

Question for you AJ, if you don't mind. Do strip off all the leaves on the rootstock after grafting the desired varieties or do you just leave them on there? And should the grafted part be fully covered by the tape or can it be just at the union of the rootstock and the graft?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I leave them there. Grafted part should be fully covered

[@franklin38]

@@AJTheGraftMan Thank you. How long does it take for the grafted branch to start fruiting typically?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

[@benjaminbequio7156]

what kind of plastic you are using to wrap the the steam

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Parafilm grafting tape

[@mamylochannel9713]

Thank you for this informative video

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Aida Aniel you’re welcome!

[@jamestnguyen2165]

Curious..why do you need to wrap the entire scion? Should just wrapping the graft union be enough?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

James T Nguyen wrapping the entire scion locks in moisture and humidity, and keeps the scion from drying out while it fuses with the rootstock.

[@andyghosh793]

is it ok to graft any branch of the tree so it would give fruit all of it? My avocado in a pot has 3 branches out of 1 , should I graft the main one or it's fine to graft one of the three to make it give fruit? What do you advise?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I would graft onto the main one. If it takes, you can always graft on the graft as it grows larger and branches out

[@braderokaykalang187]

What is the purpose of grafting multiple times on a single a tree will it be more healthier n produce higher yields

[@shanghaimuts]

Also you can have many varieties that grow and mature at different times

[@shanghaimuts]

All on the same tree. Especially useful if you don't have a large property

[@braderokaykalang187]

thanks for the info sir atleast i know already whats the purpose of it

[@jwhite007jw]

What's the age or thickness rule for grafting is there a to young/small

Once it reaches pencil thickness it’s good to graft on

HELP ... saving an avocado tree. My neighbor several days ago decided to uproot and get rid of an avocado tree in a common area to our properties. He had his workmen remove the tree and I was sad so I asked if he could transplant them into my yard, which he did. The problem is that there are lots and lots of leaves on it, the tree itself is about 8 feet tall, was fairly healthy, and had a lot of leaves on it. They did not save the root ball, so what they ended up doing is pulling it out and leaving some roots attached to it. After I saw that I am afraid it is just going to wither and die. Already a couple of days later leaves are falling off it. Is there anything I can do to save this tree? - should I pull all the leaves off it? - should I top it off down to some smaller height? - should I cut all the branches off it? I don't know what to do, but I'm thinking there might be something that would keep this alive, even if it is cut back severely and takes a long time to recover?

[@gjs560]

justgivemethetruth The Root System is correspond to the upper portion of the tree. So the branch leaves will lose because the lost of root eventually. Cut off the branches to reflect how many root survive after transplant. It will come back once root is established. Good luck!

[@justgivemethetruth]

Thanks @@gjs560

[@AJTheGraftMan]

The weakened root system won't be able to support all the branches and leaves. I would cut the tree back severely. Remember avocados sunburn easily, so whatever part remains you should cover with a basic latex white paint. Hopefully, once you plant the tree back into the ground, it will recover. Good luck!!

Seems so stupid to cut all the trees down for new development, I understand that some will need to be removed but any large strong quality trees that can be saved can add big value to a new development, you simply can't get back those decades of growth and tree-bare property is shit.
