Question! I am trying to shape my potted desert king tree to become busier. It is already 5 feet tall with healthy shoots. Can I cut a 1 foot long branch from the top and graft it to the lower part of the trunk using the whip method. Warm regards thanks!

Great Video, yes please make a video about your fig varieties. Also where to get your pruning knife a parafilm tape. Thanks Greg from tassie

[@jamesbarron1202]

Womack Nursery sells both. I do a lot of grafting every year because I have a pecan orchard. They have the Tina brand knives which I think are the best. All their tools are very high quality. They make right hand and left hand knives so make sure you get the proper one.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Greg. Will do. Regarding Parafilm, I buy mine in Amazon. Search for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape". As for the grafting knife... You will have a tough time trying to buy one identical. These are made in Portugal by the craftsman Gilberto Aveleda (navalhasmirandesas.com/index.php/produtos/facas-gilberto-ferreira-aveleda), in a small town, called Palaçoulo (know for their knife making craftsmen). But i also graft with the more common Vitorinox models and they do the job. Or you can buy some from Tina, as James is suggesting.

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@JSacadura Womack also sells the Victorinox knives. The Tina is a better quality knife put you'll pay for it. I also have, other than my regular Tina, a double bladed Tina Patch Bud knife that my deceased uncle passed down to me, he bought back in I'm guessing the 1940s. My most expensive knife I own.

@Jsacadura I live in South Africa and we are just about to enter our Autumn season. Can i still do this now?

[@JSacadura]

The grafts you see in the video where done in our Autumn season. They just have to fuse before winter and you have to keep them protected during the colder weather.

[@renato113]

Can I graph a fig cutting when the tree is dormant. Thank you.

[@JSacadura]

Yes, you can. But I prefer to keep the cuttings in the fridge (wrapped in kitchen film) and graft them later, when the trees start to leave dormancy and the sap starts to flow.

I prefer to graft them in the spring, as soon as they leave dormancy. But you can graft them in almost any season (appart from winter) with the right technique.

Hello my Friends J, i followed your chip bud technique, and it works awesome, I modified by also making a flap on top for extra contact and it works even better, you get a firm heal contact on top and bottom. Thanks you the best

[@nmnate]

I've seen people put parafilm over a graft and then firmly secure it with an electrical tape. The electrical tape is fairly stiff, but also has a little bit of flexibility. Thanks for the video! Excellent explanation as usual.

[@JSacadura]

Hi. Thanks for your comments. Electrical tape is a valid alternative, used on its own, and many people use it. I just don't like to use it very much as it may introduce unknown adhesives (depending on the brand) in those delicate cut tissues, so i prefer other more inert alternatives. Also, the materials that i am using let the graft breathe while keeping the scion moisture in (namely the Parafilm). Covering it with electrical tape would be detrimental to that objective.

[@greenreader1]

Hola! Hay cinta aislante de varios espesores, cuando vaya a comprarla, compre además de color blanco para que no concentre la luz solar produciendo sobre calentamiento en el injerto. No use cinta aislante en el peral ni en el manzanero, el adhesivo produce daños en la corteza. Saludos desde La Plata, Argentina.

[@roychan6922]

beautiful and listen again and again thanks

Is the pvc grafting tap & pra fim tap r same?

No. Parafilm is a wax based biodegradable grafting tape.

[@piercucciolo]

complimenti ,bravissimo vero maestro .ottima spiegazione . grazie x la lezione . in che mese si comincia a fare l'innesto ? grazie .

[@JSacadura]

Dipende dal tipo di albero da frutto e dalla tecnica di innesto. Nella maggior parte dei casi, la stagione migliore è la primavera.

[@Ilias_sp]

At which month do you collect the scions? are you keeping them in the fridge? is it ok if i collect now(february) some fig scions to graft them at March?

[@JSacadura]

In some cases it's almost inevitable to collect them ahead and store them in the fridge. Just wrap them in plastic kitchen film an store them in the vegetable drawer of the fridge. They will be okay for a couple of months. I sometimes receive scions from friends in December and graft them in March. They work just fine.

[@Ilias_sp]

@@JSacadura Thanks. I stored some from January but wasn't sure if it's worth to try with them. I'm gonna collect some more of other trees next day to see which will have more success.

When is the best time to graft?

[@JSacadura]

In my area the best season to graft is during spring - when the trees are starting to wake up and actively growing.

I live in vietnam. I don't have this kind of fig in my country. I enjoyed and dreamed of getting the same seed to plant. I have this kind of bead but it's not like this. love from vietnam! thank you

[@JSacadura]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. Beware that propagating fig from seed is not a good idea. Most likely you will get a caprifig that will produce inedible figs - see my video on the subject of fig pollination - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTXenmhi8aNh9U - min 5.48 . Fig are usually propagated by cuttings or air layers.

What is a scion? I want to take my existing guava tree and graft it? What is a scion that I can use? thank you for educating me

[@JSacadura]

A scion is a young shot or twig from a plant that will be used for grafting into a rootstock. Ideally, scions are cut one year branches of trees of good varieties and must have 2 or 3 buds.

[@graceloong3407]

@@JSacadura , thank you for the great video, and explained the requirements for choosing the right scions (i.e., one year old healthy branches). Would you also clarify how to select the right branch from the root stock for the new graft? Does the select branch from the root stock also need to be 1 year old and lignified in brown color? What if the branch is a few years old and already turned to grey color? Thanks!

[@louchong7688]

The grafting fruits Trees technique it's using a young plant fig cutting to put in a old plant to develop more fruits? Or reverse, put old cutting to new (young) plant to have mature fruit with nice colors? Why do we use these methods? I would like to learn more or understand more about plants. Thank you very much to answer.

[@Eddiegamer91]

* When you say a 1-year-old scion, do you mean that the scion is cut from a branch that was at least 1 year old, or do you mean the scion was cut and stored in the refrigerator for a year? * And so as a follow-up, I was wondering how you guarantee all the fruit is coming from the tree you want. But as I'm watching through the video I think it's becoming clear. Can you let me know if I'm understanding this correctly? You first start by cutting off all of the competing buds that are closer to the roots, because they take up more energy on the way up the tree. You then cut most of the competing buds near the top, because while they take up less energy, too many will effectively "drown" the new competition. You keep around a few of the top ones because the new bud is not strong enough on its own to pull resources up the tree. Finally, once you've confirmed the new bud is in place, and growing, you remove all of the competing buds of the old tree, and that guarantees that all of the fruit buds left are the buds you want? * And how many buds do you chip bud onto a single root stock to guarantee that it will grow enough fruit in the future?

We have a lot of mahaleb trees in my country- Croatia- Mediterranean part. I used to graft cherry to really small mahaleb rootstock and I used raffia cause it allows me better controloc and tigthly grip in the contaact between rootstock and scions, and covered it with electrical tape. In July I saw that my graft was getting strangled so I released it . I am afraid after 3 weeks if I release it I will break the graft union. Is the fear real?

[@joseantoniomunozmarin8300]

Buenas noches Sr Jsacadura, tengo una pregunta: ¿Usted utiliza el injerto de escudo? Se lo pregunto porque o suelo verlo en sus vídeos. Gracias y felicidades por sus pedagógicas grabaciones.

[@JSacadura]

Si, utilizo el injerto de escudete o yema en frutales qui lo toleran mejor que el injerto de chip. También funciona mejor en verano (ya que protege mejor la yema de la deshidratación).

[@castleofcostamesa8291]

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much ! When is the right time to graft a fig tree?

[@pelicanovacaciones]

Gracias por su cuidadoso trabajo de divulgación. Este año me he propuesto injertar varios árboles que por unas razones no cumplían su cometido. Después de ver sus videos , que han sido de grandísima ayuda, he comenzado la temporada con.los injertos de corteza y corona. A fecha de hoy la gran mayoría están brotando. Los más curiosos son algunos que por equivocación los puse con la púa invertida, es decir , con las llemas en dirección al patron, me he dado cuenta cuando han brotado. Me inclino a pensar que si se aplica bien la técnica con cortes precisos en su fecha y el material adecuado, el sentido de la púa , no tiene tanta importancia. Creo que la sabía se trasloca y puede ser interesante para aplicarlo intencionadamente algunas veces. Espero se entienda mi explicacion y comentario. Gracias de antemano, y un gran saludo.

[@JSacadura]

El sentido de la púa tiene importancia porque la circulación de la savia se hace con más dificultad y suele provocar el fallo total del injerto. En casos en que el injerto sobrevive es habitual provocar una situación de enanismo en la planta resultante. Un saludo.

[@TheNowhereNothing]

[@tasosmilionis7523]

Very interesting video with details and all the info. Question: For south Greece (Mediterranean climate) when is the best time to do the Grafting for figs? Early spring on middle of the winter? I will appreciate if you answer to me. Thanks

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Tasos. I would graft in late winter/early spring. Just when the trees start coming out of dormancy and just before they start growing leaves. That way the grafts have time to adapt and grow before the higher temperatures come by. You can graft later, but you have to protect the grafts from the sun. You can also graft in the fall, but then you will have to protect them from the winter and they will stop growing until next spring.

Hace 1 segundo Hola buenas noches. Llevo tiempo injertando higueras con poco éxito. No sé si por la época (primavera, verano)o el tipo de injerto, (chip mallorquín) sobre ramas de 2 o 3 cm e incluso más y me gustaría que me comentara que tipo de injerto debo hacer y que época sería la mejor. Vivo en Spain , clima mediterráneo pero en invierno hiela fácilmente. Grácias y me encantan sus vídeos

[@JSacadura]

Hola. El chip mallorquín se seca con mucha facilidad. Si no lo proteges con Parafilm , va a perder humedad y fallar. Otros factores importantes - proteger contra el sol en las primeras dos semanas, cortes que permitan que los cambiums se toquen en algún punto, injertar ramos de un año (los de 2-3 años son muchos más complicados de injertar con suceso), preferir injertar chips con yemas más desarrolladas), cortar progresivamente la parte superior de la rama injertada (solamente después que la yema empieza a brotar), etc...

What are your 2 favorite figs for taste from the types that dont need to be pollinated? I don't have fig wasp in my area. Theres an Italian guy within an hours drive that sells 130 varieties and I'm wanting to plant quite a few and would like your opinion on taste. I hope they can survive our north Texas winters. I have a huge Celeste tree and love them

[@JSacadura]

Hi, James. I have several good tasting figs that i like that don't need to be pollinated. Two of my favorite are Moscatel Branco (a honey type fig) and Preto de Torres Vedras (a local small black fig), but there are many others that are also very good. Regarding winter... We sometimes have colder winters (reaching -5 ºC in some years and my trees have no problem with it, some will resist even colder temperatures for a couple of weeks).

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@JSacadura thanks! Hopefully he has those. I'm going to get his opinion also on some others to try. I have a bare 3 acres that I'd like to plant into a fig orchard. I have 4 acres of pecans already that I sell. I'm in peak harvest season right now. I'm in very sandy soil and I guess it's good because my Celeste tree is huge. I dehydrate them then freeze them to last thru the year. Birds are my biggest problem with growing figs. I'd love to see a video of your fig types and favorites.
