Grafting Fig Trees - Whip and Tongue - Grafting Technique

[@0MrENigma0]

Amazing! Not only do you share demonstrations of close up but pieces, but then real life examples (many of), then examples of the results, and extra comments and pictures of years later how the graft union heals. This is by far the best grafting video out there (runners up being all your other grafting videos). Thank you for your shared knowledge and time. You are appreciated.

[@2brownbraids]

Very beautifully done, exquisite hands do this fine work, thank you. i will try grafting 3 in one fig tree later this year as it is still cold and dormant period here.

[@JSacadura]

I also prefer to graft my fig trees when they start to break dormancy and the weather starts to warm a bit (around March in my 9a zone). Using a healthy scion, done correctly and protected well, whip and tongue is my preferred method to graft fruit trees (as it develops a robust branch very quickly), although a bit more difficult to execute than other fruit types due to the hollow pit of most fig scions.

[@2brownbraids]

Can this method be used in early spring when the buds have already sprouted? What is the best way to graft figs when they are actively growing

[@Sia_playsYT]

Which grafting Technic to use on fig when they are Dormant ,Chip Budding, or Whip tongue or Cleft graft ? Thanks

[@JSacadura]

They all work. I prefer Whip and Tongue or modified cleft as they start to grow quicker than the chip-budding option. But, when I have only one cutting of a precious variety and I want several grafts, I use this last technique.

[@Sia_playsYT]

@@JSacadura thanks

[@julianler9907]

Great video. Do I have to use dormant scions or is it ok when I cut the scions on the day when I'm grafting and the buds are already a bit developed?

[@rycooder314]

Although not ideal, I've had good success when the buds are waking up. At this stage, if you have any, wrap the buds with GENUINE parafilm or Buddy Tape to keep the moisture in. Otherwise, a light smear of wood glue on them will help. Either way, you've got nothing to lose. Why wait another year?

[@franksavignano942]

Hello,can you please tell us the best way to preserve a scion wood ,to prepare for next spring in fridge,regards frank

[@JSacadura]

Happy coincidence, Frank. i have just finished a video on that subject - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYXSfWiHfa53p5Y. I use the same method to preserve my fig cuttings and fig scion wood. Remember that, even with that technique, scion wood will only last 3-4 months at most, in the fridge.

[@franksavignano942]

Thanks a lot , can you show a video how you tell if it’s a dormant bud , or not on fruit trees please regards frank

[@francescobar23]

great video. up to what diameter can we use this method?

[@JSacadura]

Wider wood (more than 1 inch in diameter) is difficult to graft. It lacks the flexibility needed for the whip and tongue technique). Also wider wood is older wood. Its always better to use pencil size, one year scions.

[@francescobar23]

[@LVFigGardenChannel]

What’s the the lowest temps you have started grafting in spring. I started outside with lows in the 40s and highs in the low 70. The trees are just starting to to swell and sap is flowing.

[@JSacadura]

I usually wait until lowest temperatures are in the 50s with figs because i like the sap to be flowing well, as i don't like that they sit there for long periods without much happening. With apples and pears i might start with lower temperatures, as the scions are more resistant.

[@jewiesnew3786]

Is it possible to do 2 types of grafts on single branch? I only have a limited supply of scion, planning to graft whip and tongue then chip bud the lower buds that are going to be removed by my first graft.

[@JSacadura]

Its possible. The problem might be the development of the grafted chip buds as the whip and tongue on the branch tip might be more vigorous. You will have to control each graft growth with precision so they all develop well.

[@jewiesnew3786]

If my goal is to have at least one successful graft, this should be fine considering I only had a single branch each of a variety?

[@JSacadura]

I usually graft each branch with 2 chips, if I have enough material. They tend to take both, but usually only one develops. If they both develop, I usually only let one per branch.

[@seventhsolstice9271]

Mr Sacadura, my 4 week old fig graft has small droplets I’d water/sweat showing under the parafilm (not at the grafting cut but on the scion itself). will that impact the graft in any way? When should I remove parafilm?

[@JSacadura]

If the graft is in full sun, that's simply condensation. I wouldn't worry, unless its excessive. That's why I protect the grafts with Aluminium foil until they heal (otherwise the Parafilm will make a greenhouse effect and the graft can 'cook' under the sun). Usually the graft starts to show signs of growth after 3 to 5 weeks (the buds start to grow and break the Parafilm on their own). So there is no need to remove it for some time. If I believe its starting to affect the graft I would remove it (gently, as the graft union is very fragile, in the first few months).

how long should the parafilm be allowed to stay on if they don’t fall off on their own?

Parafilm is biodegradable. As long as you stretch it when applying, it doesn't need to be removed, as it will not harm the plant growth (even the new buds will break it without problems).

[@TyOtis]

just wondering how long the white marker lasts for you for before it wears away?

[@JSacadura]

Usually they last at least one year. But it really depends if it has some shade from leaves and if you are writing on a branch or on a pot. I use the same marker to write the varieties names in my pots and they are still there more than 3 years later. Nevertheless, they are not permanent (so i use photographs and take notes to be safe) and, if they were readily available here, i would use aluminium tags.

Hi, Is it Ok to graft a woody scion to a green/greenish stem?

[@lorenzplato606]

Hello, when is the best time to graft, am in Miami Florida, where is hot almost all year? Figs here dont sleep until the end of december to the end of february. Thanks friend you make look easy!

[@JSacadura]

Hi. The best time is when they start actively growing. I would wait until the end of February. I have grafted in October/November but just because i got my hands on some green cuttings and it was best to graft them than to risk losing them (they can root but i have more confidence grafting them). In this situation i prefer the chip-budding technique. The buds stay dormant all winter but wake up in the spring.

[@ericrch]

Love your videos! Thank you! What are your thoughts on Z-Grafting? Do you use the technique?

[@JSacadura]

Hi. It has its uses, mainly when grafting citrus trees with very young plants or branches and slightly different diameter scions. The multiple cambium contact points can really help in that situation. But, apart from those situations, its not a technique i use very often, as some of the others are simpler to execute and very effective.

[@কৃষকবন্ধু-ঢ১ঝ]

can i graft a fig branch to other tree.

[@JSacadura]

If you mean if you can graft figs to other fruit trees the answer is no. They can only be grafted within the same genus Ficus (and the best compatibility is within other fig varieties of the species Ficus carica - the edible fig. I have several multi varieties fig trees (check the video on the subject on my channel). Fruit trees have to be compatible between each other to be grafted. For instance, you can graft a peach tree (genus Prunus) to other fruit trees from the same genus, like some plums, nectarines and apricots as they are all from the genus Prunus, although they can still have different levels of compatibility, that may affect productivity and longevity.

[@ghydiany]

What’s the name of the white marker?

[@JSacadura]

Those white markers are from Edding (a German company) - www.edding.com/products/edding-8055-outdoor-marker/ . I usually use the 8055, but sometimes i can only find the 751 or the 750 and these also do a good job. They are available in Europe. If you are located in the USA or elsewhere, you probably won't find them locally.

Is it ok to use the black electric tape instead of parafilm? Also by putting aluminum foil over there is no need to put the glue over the raffia to cover all the cuts and avoid water and insects to penetrate? Thank you for the excellent videos

[@JSacadura]

Hi. You can use black electric tape instead of parafilm but you can't cover all the cutting with it (namely the buds), only the whip and tongue grafting area. Using black electric tape you may not need to use raffia as the tape is strong enough to sustain the graft and keep the moisture away (the aluminium foil can let the water slip inside the graft). I used to graft with black electric tape or rafia and grafting sealant. Now, i prefer to use the raffia and parafilm for some fruit types, as the parafilm properties lead to greater success rates (you can cover all the cutting to avoid desiccation and the buds will break free with ease).

Why use two time grafting in one branch, is this same fig?

[@JSacadura]

When I graft 2 times in the same branch, I'm grafting the same variety with 2 different methods (whip and tongue at the tip and a chip at the base of the branch). Its just a way of using all the buds in the scion when you don't have enough different rootstocks.

Almost all those grafts were made in early Spring (February-March). In those months the trees don't have an intense flow of sap yet. If they were made later April-May you have to make draining cuts so the excess sap doesn't drown the grafts.

[@JSacadura]

Thanks for the comment. Whip and Tongue is my highest percentage grafting method. If both scion and root stock are healthy it exceeds easily 90% success. Last year the odd one that failed, was after grafting has succeeded, in multi varieties trees, due to competition from other developing branches. In figs, vigorous varieties can take almost all the sap from the weaker branches and these will dry out. It's a delicate balance, achieving equal growth with several varieties in the same root stock, but it's lots of fun.

Acho que seria boa politica colocar-se a melhor altura do ano para se fazer a enxertia ou os meses mais indicados. neste video a técnica da ráfia é ligeiramente diferente mas talvez mais simples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJm9kIyvltyCiK8

[@JSacadura]

Obrigado pelo comentário e pelo link, Paulo. Este vídeo tem quase um ano e tem várias coisas que teria mudado se o fizesse hoje. Nos últimos vídeos já não me esqueço de indicar a data em que estou a fazer os enxertos ou em que eles podem ser feitos , como neste último sobre a enxertia de coroa em Pereiras antigas - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mF7MqounfJZjj7c - min. 3.30 Quanto à ráfia, não é uma técnica. É um acessório utilizado para fixar o garfo ao porta-enxerto de modo a ajustar melhor as camadas de tecido cambial (o que promove a união). Eu estou a fazer um enxerto à inglesa complicada e o senhor que está a enxertar as vides no vídeo está a fazer um enxerto de fenda (como este - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJuxiqWVhJqBsLM) . O enxerto à inglesa é realmente mais complicado mas resulta melhor em vários tipos de árvores de fruto, como as figueiras, por isso o uso muitas vezes, em vez do de fenda. Cumprimentos.

[@ct1foh]

@@JSacadura e a melhor altura para enxertar figueira é ? o que lhe queria mostrar na rafia é a maneira como é presa no fim só isso.

[@JSacadura]

É o que dá a comunicação escrita, Paulo. É sempre mais difícil percebermos o que o outro diz e ocorrem mal-entendidos. Quando falou em técnica, pensei que estava a referir-se à técnica de enxerto e não à maneira de aplicar a ráfia. E também não percebi que a questão da altura do ano era uma pergunta concreta em relação às figueiras, em vez de uma chamada de atenção para não me esquecer de a indicar em vídeos futuros. Quanto ao primeiro ponto, a ráfia no enxerto de fenda é quase um pró-forma, podia perfeitamente não se colocar, já que o porta-enxerto faz pressão suficiente para que o garfo não saia do lugar. Noutros enxertos, a ráfia tem que ser mais apertada para assegurar a fixação e um bom contacto. Quanto à maneira de a prender no fim, existem várias opções (eu já usei várias, inclusivamente a que o senhor utiliza no vídeo) e concordo que a que estou a usar neste caso não é a mais simples, mas como dou duas voltas e regressa ao ponto de origem, habituei-me a usar um nó. A época para enxertar figueiras à inglesa vai de Fevereiro (quando as figueiras começam a sair da dormência) a fim de Abril. A partir daí existem outras técnicas que têm melhores resultados, como o chip (gema com madeira) ou a chapa. O chip, pode fazer-se até ao Outono, desde que se protejam bem (mas só rebentarão na próxima Primavera). Obrigado, mais uma vez, pelo comentário.
