Grafting Fruit Trees | Changing varieties in old Pear Trees | Bark Grafting

Using the bark graft technique to change varieties in old established fruit trees. Do you have several trees of the same variety? Do you have a variety that is not very good? Do you want to change the variety but the tree is quite old and you don’t know how to proceed?
This video will show you how to change varieties in older fruit trees using the most effective grafting technique for this situation - the Bark Graft Technique. In a few years your tree will be rejuvenated and will start producing lots of good quality fruits. You can even graft more than one variety turning the tree into a multiple varieties producer which is a great way to taste different fruits if your space is limited.
The best time to execute the procedure is late winter or early spring. The tree should be heavily pruned in the winter and you must leave at least one branch to help move the sap when it leaves dormancy.
The scions can be previously collected and stored in the fridge wrapped in kitchen film or they can be cut fresh but must be dormant. The tree can be dormant or starting to move sap.
Good luck with your grafts and don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe and share the video to support the channel.

Thanks for showing the resulting tree after a few years - it really added a different dimension to other grafting videos I have viewed. Great instructional video.

[@Ericlee-ne7du]

great job. probably the best video of grafting I've seen. straight to the point.

[@tundeoyediran2574]

Sir, this is one of the videos ever watched in the course of sharpening my saw in practical agriculture. Thanks a million for taking pain to answer all questions, You are indeed a blessing to us.

Hi. Thanks for the support. I appreciate it.

[@laurenb6451]

Yesterday I went to a talk that included grafting techniques, forgot what I saw there because there was so much but this is pretty close to some of what the guy did so I really am glad to have found this. Thanks!

[@weta-linetv5354]

This is by far one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Thank you very much for sharing I'll definitely be watching your videos on how to graft.

[@AngelaHeitmann123]

The best grafting video I've encountered so far! Thank you SO much. :)

[@jmyers9853]

i think you are the first person i have seen to neatly trim around the newly cut area. nice touch

Excellent video, very detailed and informative. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@jamesbarron1202]

I use a quality duct tape to wrap and also cover the ends of the big cut branches. I don't use any paint on sealants. I wrap my scions with parafilm. It's hot and dry in my area so it helps retain moisture. I also use the deep cut method like you show in the picture but I make one extra cut the same length along one side (oblique method) leaving a sliver of bark. That way I get more cambium contact and it doesn't push out the bark on the limb as much and not leaving a big air and water entry gap. There's so many ways and everyone has their favorite. Mine have adapted over the years.

[@pansepot1490]

Wow, that takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember my dad grafted old trees exactly in the same way. Not just pear trees but also apricot, apple, plum and cherry trees. Nice to know that people still do it.

[@JSacadura]

The bark graft is one of the most effective methods of changing varieties on older trees and i use it a lot on all sort of fruit types - apples, plums, cherries, apricots, almonds, peaches, olives, etc...

[@marlonlacert8133]

[@ericwilliams5091]

I personally also really like pruning my trees to the sweet sweet sound of some smooth jazz.

[@pauljohn3230]

I followed all your advice. I cut down a big old apple tree that never produced any quality fruit, grafted a bunch of Fuji scion wood onto it... 5-6 weeks on and 95% of the grafts are growing vigorously ! Pretty good for a first attempt I reckon ! I imagine you can probably remember your first success at grafting, it's a great feeling ! I also tried some of your other methods with a bunch of plum trees that weren't productive and had a similar success rate. The avocados I tried did not turn out so well but I'm still hopeful that at least 30% of the grafts will take and really, that'll be enough. Thanks again mate

[@JSacadura]

Your're welcome. I'm glad its working for you. It sure is a great feeling when our first grafts succeed. Good luck with your trees.

[@fuzzyboomboom9742]

Thanks so much for this video. I have a couple massive pear trees that are healthy, but they never bear edible fruit. I was thinking of cutting them down but now I will wait til next spring and use this method to graft on a lot of Bosc & Comice scions .

thank you. excellent video and detailed technique

[@lidlnutz]

I have been heavily into gardening my whole life. Grafting is one of the few things I have never practiced. It still seems amazing to me that this works. I wonder who the first person is that tried this. I imagine that person had zero hopes of success, then was amazingly surprised to see it not fail. Good video and very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with the rest of us!

[@JSacadura]

Thanks for your comment. When you dig deeper into the process, you understand that its a simple process of healing taking place. Undifferentiated cells that are present in strategic places in plants collaborate to repair vascular tissues and the flow of sap unifies 2 different compatible plants. But you have a point, the first persons that tried it, opened a wide field of experimentation for the rest of us.

[@oziomavictoryolisa8280]

my thoughts exactly

[@oziomavictoryolisa8280]

but it's as old as,the bible because grafting was mentioned in the bible

[@oksanasergeevnasmith3018]

Thank you for video! You answered question that I couldn't find answer too- if u can graft too very big cut tree. Thank you!

[@user-yy3tx9vw1k]

非常に参考に「勉強 」なりました

[@790robothead6]

I've tried this technique with varying success. I guess it takes a lot of practice. When I rework the tops of old apple trees, I gradually cut them back over the course of two years, then make saddle grafts to the waterspouts that pop up. I continue to trim them for another couple years until the grafts are the only branches producing new growth. I've done many trees this way. It's a very long process so I should probably try more cleft grafting. Also, those are the greatest clippers ever. I have a pair of felcos that never leave my side. They are my life, my soul, my everything.

[@JSacadura]

I laso have done that. It's the safer approach, although it takes a bit longer. I use it mainly for trees that don't bounce back so well, like citrus. In that case I also graft the watersprouts that grow after cutting (always leaving some nursery limbs). Felco clippers are expensive, but last a lifetime - not so with other cheaper options that may only last one or two years and then fall apart.

I topworked 2 apple trees this week. I applied some of your lessons. Great video. I am looking forward to your video on pruning. After 40 years, I think that I have figured it out. Consider a short video on scion selection.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Michael. Apparently my first answer to your comment disappeared (can't figure out why). Thanks for the kind words and support. I also appreciate the suggestion for a video and next season will definitively make one on that important subject - How to select scions and how to preserve them until its time to graft or root.

You have changed the rule of nature🌿🍃 👌

[@JSacadura]

Not really. The initial tree was already grafted as almost all fruit trees are (or they would not produce the fruits we eat). So, the tree was not 'natural' to start with. I am just changing the grafted variety.
