Grafting Evergreen Fruit Trees | Grafting Loquats and other types of EVERGREENS

The grafting examples show a Loquat but the grafting techniques applied in the video can be used on most evergreen fruit trees to change varieties. Loquat is an excellent evergreen fruit tree that has hundreds of different cultivars.
If the one you bought or have grown from a seed is not very good and you already have an established tree, you can change the cultivar by grafting a new variety.
You just have to follow a few simple steps detailed in this video.
The best cultivars of Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) have a very sweet and slightly acidic fruit of excellent quality. The flavor is very good and quite peculiar - like a strange mix of mango, citrus and peach.
Even if you are on a zone that it’s not suited for this fruit tree (it flowers and develops its fruit in the winter), it’s such a beautiful tree that often is cultivated by is ornamental value alone.

If you are in a zone where the loquat can survive in the winter you can grow one from seeds. If the resulting variety is not that good, you can try to obtain a few scions of selected cultivars and graft the established tree as I show in this video. Loquat is an excellent evergreen fruit tree that has hundreds of different cultivars and has a very good ornamental value.

Estas técnicas também resultam com abacateiros? Falaram-me que para abacateiros tem de ser enxertia em ómega ou ingles simplificado... Já experimentei ingles simplificado no inicio de junho e foi um desastre... Mas na altura achei o ingles simplificado uma tecnica muita estranha pois o cavalo e o garfo nem encaixam um no outro, tem de ser á base de rafia... Acho que vou experimentar o ingles complicado (whip n tongue) pois faz muito mais sentido

[@TreasureFiend]

I very much enjoy watching your videos. I don't live in a zone where loquats can survive so I never payed attention to them, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning about them through your videos.

[@JSacadura]

Glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!

[@peteraltavista7508]

Your videos are so encouraging to me. It is a stretch growing them here in zone 7a, so I need to bring the potted loquat trees indoors during the winter to get fruit in the spring. Now that I have gotten fruit, I want more! You describe the flavor well. Very worthwhile. I am building a lean-to greenhouse in a protected, south-facing area so I can keep them protected for the winter. I will be using these grafting techniques to place cuttings from my known varieties onto both wild and known variety seedling rootstock to speed up fruit development. Thanks for the great content.

[@workwillfreeyou]

A most sincere thank you!

Good work

[@tarfap.kpamber9732]

Thank you for your free, quality education. I discovered that the cuttings are very difficult to root (attempted several times in different seasons over two years, even with rooting hormones). I hope to get other varieties someday.

[@JSacadura]

Its easier to plant the seeds to obtain seedlings. Most times, the fruit from the seedlings is small and a bit bitter, but sometimes you can have a new, acceptable, good eating variety. Be prepared to wait quite a few years for the seedling to start producing fruits, though.

[@tarfap.kpamber9732]

The right choice of Russian subtitles. I think the Russian world is more interested in gardening? 🤔

I have lots of viewers from Russia that kept asking me to add Russian subtitles. I hope they are helpful.

Hi what other root stock can i use beside quince. Also what root stocks can i use to graft longans on. I have grafted a rollinia on to a soursop root stock & it took i was so happy this was one of my first attemps ar grafting. Are they any books you would recommend on grafting techniques or which would teach you which plants are compatible as rooting stock to the relevant scions?

[@eidodoos]

your video really inspiring me. i trying to adapt ypur method but mostly plant im try doing is soft/small plant..can you do video about small plant rootstock about 3mm to 2cm diameter?

[@annylee4208]

I have a fairly large and high non producing loquat tree from seeding. Would i be better off cutting most of the branches back before grafting or wait until the scions start growing then cut back?

Hello JS! Have you tried grafting pear onto loquat? I heard it's theorically possible but haven't seen it done yet. Since it's so easy and quick to germinate loquats, I hope they make good rootstock fo rpears

[@mohammadmusa9500]

if you can, male a video on persimmon. i have triead a lot to graft multiple cultiver an my tree but failed.

Persimmons are a bit tricky to graft. I will try to make a video about them, early next year.

My greetings! Could you give a clue would loquat be grafted by using dormant bud which is grafting on young quince trunk (diameter around 1 cm) in early spring?

[@TamanWarga]

[@mr.knowit]

very good video, i was wondering on wath can you graft loquat. different roodstock different of quince. thx for the video ilustration

[@JSacadura]

Loquat can be planted directly in the soil. It really doesn't need a rootstock, if you don't mind a slightly bigger tree.

[@adriensalas9613]

Como siempre un video muy informativo.tengo una pregunta el arbol loquat se puede tener en area desertica?en verano ea muy caliente y en imvierno muy frio y no se si sea adecuado para esta clase de arboles.gracias

[@JSacadura]

An adult Loquat can resist quite low and high temperatures (usual range is 10-104ºF, -12-40ºC), but the fruits will spoil when the low temperatures approach 28ºF (-2ºC)

Can i graft using this when tree is out of dormancy

Can fig plant grafted onto this evergreen tree as rootstock?

[@pittilinster7526]

excellent video as usual , 2 questions which grafting knife do you use in your videp at the beginning and where do you provide with parafilm ? many thanks and just continue doing great job

[@JSacadura]

It's a handmade grafting knife made in Portugal by the craftsman Gilberto Aveleda, in a small town, called Palaçoulo (know for their knife making craftsmen). Here a few grafting knives similar to the one I'm using - navalhas.pt/pesquisa?controller=search&s=enxertia. But I also graft with the more common Victorinox/Felco budding models. Tina and Opinel are also known brands of grafting knives. With adequate sharpening they all do their job.

[@JSacadura]

Lately, I can only find Parafilm online. Try Amazon - search for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape" and beware of plastic knockoffs.

Hi i would like to say thank you for all your video's i have found them the best on KZbin for learning to graft better. Could i please make a request for CAROB grafting? Here in Australia i am trying to graft varieties Clifford, Casuda and Sfax, With Sfax having very low success rate. I'm currently trying flute and ring grafting and I budding. Thanks Again :)

Unfortunately, Carob doesn't grow well were I live.

Obrigado por mais este excelente vídeo (em conteúdo e edição)! Uma questão, se me puder ajudar... conhece alguma local na Internet onde se possa comprar ou trocar garfos para enxertia? Existem vários nos US e UK, mas devido aos problemas com alfandegas não enviam. Tentei procurar por sites europeus mas não encontrei nada.

[@tarfap.kpamber9732]

Same customs problem here in Africa. I advise you join a local network of home gardeners and keep asking. You will eventually find somebody in your region who has some cultivars. All the best.

In Italy we have a great problem with fusicladium eriobotryae.

[@paulwong2888]

What other Fruits can be grafted with these methods ?

[@simplegreen6596]

i went through the video library to see if you had a video on harvesting scions from trees you have to graft onto other trees. I didn't see any. starting in chapter 3 here you touch on that. Any specific videos you've done that talks more about that?

[@JSacadura]

Check this video - "Quick Tips for Grafting | How to select, cut and store scions for grafting" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYXSfWiHfa53p5Y. It mentions the basics about selecting and storing scions.

I’d like your advice on a common dilemma. Your favourite apple or plum is dying slowly. It has a few weak 2 mm new growths. You have missed the dormant phase of any root stock through lack of foresight. What’s the next alternative ? Is there one?

[@JSacadura]

You can try lateral grafting. It works well with tiny scions and the rootstocks doesn't have to be dormant. To know more about this technique, check min 10.22 of the following video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qne6p42wgttlf9E

I live in South Florida and have loquats, but I've never seen any as large as the ones you have. I do not eat them as fast as you do because many times they may have worms in them just like guava.
