Why Some Grafts Grow and Some Grafts Fail

[@rayannoor4110]

Thanks for the tips, AJ. Some things for us to keep in mind

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks!

[@franklingrenyion659]

I didnt know that graft fails.....feeling better now with my failures

[@growyourownavocados]

Great concept for a video AJ! Thanks for sharing.

[@didanz100]

Thanks for determining the season when explaining things, most don't. I'm in New Zealand and our Spring is in September.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Glad to help 🥑👍🏼

I love your videos because you don't pretend to be an expert, but you actually have a lot of valuable practical experience. You show us grafting newbies how to go about grafting and what pitfalls to watch out for. I am quite sure that I will be able to avoid some of the common mistakes because I have watched your videos. No doubt some of my attempts will fail, but I think not as many had I not watched your channel. Oh, and you are also a personable, likeable guy. That doesn't hurt, either.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thank you for your beautiful comment 🥑😀

Nothing wrong with staring at plants!

I’ve found that using a small plastic bag tied over the grafted section has really helped my success rate. It probably has something to do with me grafting in the tropics where it is really humid.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

So many folks have told me to do the plastic bag thing, so I will try it soon

[@aaronevans5209]

I use the plastic bags found in the party section of CVS. You get 25 of them and they come with twist ties.

[@Vivalaraza1994]

When would you take the plastic bag off? I've got a mango scion that's pushed out new growth and the leaves are super small but have grown maybe 1cm each day.

Nice information, AJ.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks Neal!

Great video...!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@benheaver4332]

Great job ,, grafting in atl is also very hard , I have had 1 out 10 ish to take , have to use grow domes down here !🍺

[@frankyancy1347]

My results are sadly the sane.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. Have you tried grafting in warmer weather?

[@franklingrenyion659]

Wow ! 1 out of 5 scions , not giving up though

[@tinyjungle_]

Keep on grafting. What's the worst that can happen?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

My thoughts exactly

[@srimuharyati2387]

Please make a video on rootstock consideration

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Will do.

[@soniamarshall9293]

Have you Try grafting without wraping tape on the whole scion.?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

No but I’ve seen it done in a controlled greenhouse with high humidity and high heat

[@t4int3d]

Hey aj, thank you for posting all your informative videos, I really enjoy them. Can you recommend please recommend a good grafting tape? I'm not sure if you have lately. the ones in your older videos are sold out. thanks!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks for watching my channel 👍🏽 Google parafilm grafting tape. That’s what I use. A lot of places are sold out. Seems like grafting is getting more popular. If you do some digging on google you’ll find some available. Good luck.

@@AJTheGraftMan thanks!

[@bjornhoffmann6008]

Thanks for this! What percentage success do you have (in general)? When I started out I was in the 60% range. Now up to 75 - 80%. Hoping for 90% by next year🤞

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Hard to say. Depends on so many factors like time of year, type of fruit tree I’m grafting, etc.

[@MaxHernandez-qf7gz]

Thanks for your information,in which City Do You Live? I Live in Fontana

[@lougaloubew1782]

Hello, nice job and thanks for your videos,i am french , i live in south of france so weather hot and dry,i have a question, i did 2 avocado grafts, turn well, leaf starts growing, i change the pot, i put the pot outside when i was not cold at night,and then stop growing, leafs fall, and branches startS becoming dry and Black! What did i do wrong? If you have an idea ! ! Thank you

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Sometimes when you change the pot, it can stress the tree and the graft can die. Also the type of soil you use is important

[@lougaloubew1782]

@@AJTheGraftMan thank you for your answer!!

[@NotSoIsaac]

Another awesome video!...very informative..Q:Have you ever grafted bigger scions onto smaller rootstock?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! Yes I have. I should do a video about it

[@NotSoIsaac]

@@AJTheGraftMan That'd be awesome..Would really love to see it..And another one showing all the previous grafts you did on video..We'd love to see how far/much they've grown..

[@adamb.8854]

Any fall garden tour coming up?:)

[@AJTheGraftMan]

I’ll try

[@AgroForestry_AvocadoOrchard]

Graft fail due to bad grafting or is it bad Scion selection ?

[@nadinetakei2354]

Where can I get a scions?
