Ugh grafting is my dream gardening skill to learn. My great uncle is a grafting master. He grafted his own 6-in-1 mixed citrus tree, a 4-in-1 grapefruit tree and multiple 4-in-1 stone fruit trees.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Me too! I'm gonna start with those grafting tools with interchangeable styles that perfectly match the cuts. I feel grafting as a skill will make growing fruit from seed more valuable since now you can roll the genetic dice to see if something good comes up and /or use it for rootstock and graft your desired varieties on :)

[@karinjohnston6568]

Very well explained. My Dad propagated fruit trees by grafting, similar to the chip method you discussed; however he made a cut at the base of the root stock and then slipped the bud into the slot created by the cut. He would then use a rubber strip around the base to hold it in place. He usually began grafting in July and spent weeks grafting hundreds of trees. One of my jobs was to go down the rows the following spring and cut off the root stock above the graft. By the end of that growing season we would have a good sized tree (1 meter high or more). Because the bud grew so quickly, they were vulnerable to cracking off in windy weather, so we staked the growing buds early to stabilize the bud.

[@mmckee58]

Awesome Karin. Thanks. I enjoyed reading that!

[@JH-jp9sv]

@DNA I think it's like Chris is talking about at 12:35, you cut the stem (root stock) above where you grafted the variety you wanted the year before.

[@rafaelramos441]

@DNA The rootstock is temporarily allowed to remain to nurture the graft in certain types of grafting. After the graft has healed the rootstock above the graft is no longer needed and is removed. Other types of grafting remove the top of the rootstock at time of grafting.

So there’s a massive Wisteria at a coffee shop where I went on one of my first dates with the woman to whom I’m now married. The thing is beautiful.

We are living in a dystopian world when we have to worry about propagating a trademark plant for crying out loud, its not enough that your poor and need plants to survive but God forbid you propagate a plant

[@thresh0014]

This is for large scale farmers. They have to buy seed every year and are not allowed to use seeds/cuts from last year. If your farm pollinates a neighbouring farm or some trademarked cultivars happens to grow on your "for profit farm" then they can sue the pants off you and will win 95% of the time. Commercial farms have private detectives going around taking genetic sample tests of corn/rye/alfalfa etc fields and if they can prove you're using their seed/cuts and not heirloom varieties they'll shut your farm down and fine you to the moon. Problem is that most of these trademarked varieties are bred to be more resistant to mold/mildew/weather/feed effects along with keeping a proper yield per square foot that most heirloom varieties wouldn't naturally have without some selection by the farmer. They also tend to grow less uniform which is a major factor when planting 10's of thousands of plants over 20+ hectors. you want them to be as close to each other as possible so they'll have a similar harvest time and growth patterns etc. Having said that I fully agree with you and go out of my way to break those laws as much as possible haha.

Grafting, I have had great success using cheap black electrical tape. It is strong, it stretches, it will naturally fall off if you forget about it, and being black it warms up the graft area sooner and faster allowing the sap to flow more readily increasing the chances of success.

[@rebeccadart5609]

I love Chis's videos and instagram. Her advice is so pratical and informative. Giving cuttings a gentle tug test and having them stay firm in the soil is one of the greatest thrills in life. One down side of vegetative propagation I wish was mentioned here is the lack of genetic diversity when growing from cuttings. The cutting will have the same genetics as the mother plant and if you just so happen to have a plant that is susceptible to a disease all the clones will too (Cavendish bananas anyone). I think rooting cuttings along side growing from seed if you can is a good way to hedge your bets.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

Also if you grow from seed and have grafting skills you can have the best of both worlds :)

[@williamaitken7533]

Nice! I just put in some cherry tree cuttings into medium before watching this. Almost good timing! If you're doing propagation through cuttings, I've found that the humidity really is the most important thing. My understanding is that the plant is able to absorb water through its leaves while the roots are developing. If you can keep the humidity up you have a good shot at keeping the cuttings alive. Also always take more cuttings than you think you'll need! There's an attrition rate, even if you do everything correctly.

[@chan_for]

Her teaching is so intuitive

[@KimblesTheBrave]

I worked before at a production greenhouse where we grafted thousands of tomato plants per day by hand. You had to time it so both the rootstock and scion varieties had their 4th true leaves, then cut the stems at a 45 degree angle with a razor blade and stick them together with a little rubber clip. Afterwards they would put them in a super humid area for a few days for the grafts to heal, and then when the stems grew big enough the clips would fall off. It seems like the biggest issues were timing (since rootstocks would often grow 1-2 days slower/faster than scions so the stems were different diameters), and getting the angles exactly the same. You had to work quickly too since the plants would wilt, but they would bounce back suprisingly well if done correctly, with something like a 90% success rate. I just thought I would mention this for anyone curious how grafting is done with non-woody plants. :) Most of the greenhouse-grown veggies you buy at the grocery store are grafted for better disease resistance, even though it requires planting twice as many seeds. (Also, eggplants usually get grafted onto tomato rootstock because they're closely enough related and there's a lot of tomato rootstocks available!)
