How To Graft Avocado 2

My avocado grafting project is complete. I was very fortunate to get my hands on these rare varieties of avocado. Thankfully, most of the grafts took. I've noticed that timing is critical when grafting avocado. I get the most success when I graft from July through early October.

Best grafting I have ever seen really...

Thanks for showing us how to graft an avocado tree. We really appreciate your kindness. I will definitely subscribe to your channel. Have a great day! .

Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated 🙂👍🏽🥑

You are the king of grafting! I enjoy your videos and have learned so much watching, A. J. Thank you for the great quality video and your love and knowledge of fruit trees.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

You’re making me blush. Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated 🙂

[@edwinreyes3998]

Love your honesty!! As a gardener it's not always straight forward ⏩

[@PseudoAccurate]

Thanks for showing how it's done! Looks so easy it gives me hope. Those leaves bursting through the tape are beautiful, it must feel great. And then to have so many different varieties on one tree!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! Yes it’s a very exciting feeling.

[@MrGollo009]

I congratulate you on your honesty and showing proof of fact. Thanks a lot.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. Much appreciated

I recently planted a nabal avocado in my yard. I can’t wait til it fruits. There are only a few videos on youtube mentioning this variety, glad to hear you talk about it. Great video thanks for keeping it 100

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. I plan to do more videos about Nabal. I think it's unfairly overlooked

[@robertramsey-turner7530]

I successfully graft citrus and plumb trees but as yet I failed 100% with avocado, around zero out of 25. I thought maybe I was trying too early in the season, now in NZ is a very strong growth period, so today I will have another go. I wont give up but struggle to find a logical explanation. Well done with your grafting, I envy your availability of multi varieties of scion wood. Robert

[@ryanduckering]

NZ provably isn't optimal conditions for avo. not very humid.

[@sebastiansanzvenga287]

Nice illustration and also good knowledge we never knew this stay blessed sir

[@carlosguerra518]

Definitely motivated me to try to graft my Avocado Tree. :)

[@CurryMouth]

You make it look so simple to do which is motivating. I’m also interested in the post grafting care of the plant, especially with respect to watering and nutrition

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. I’ll be doing a post grafting care video soon, but in general once a graft takes, I water and fertilize the tree normally. No real special attention needed

[@GreenArt4]

From what I've read online, You shouldn't be looking for a smooth edge, but rather the highest chance for the cambium layers to make contact. Different depths of the cambium layers is probably why that one failed. In other words, it's best to make the graft a little crooked, since that pretty much guarantees that the cambium will touch at at least 2 points :)

[@AJTheGraftMan]

That is true, however in my experience, those crooked grafts grow weaker

[@russhopkins2298]

Fantastic job

[@robertramsey-turner7530]

I live near Auckland in NZ, and I successfully graft many types of fruit trees, but Im struggling with avocado, I take so much care, but no luck as yet. lol I will keep trying

[@matamataio4136]

Three years on, how’s your strike rate now Robert? I too am in Auckland and I graft a lot of avocados both to seedlings and top working

Very nice, AJ. I definitely want to get scion wood for Hellen, and Nabal as well. Great videos. Love them.

[@tenghann8890]

Thanks for your video 👍😀

[@dantecaruso7409]

Awesome. My GEM died right up to the graft but root is alive. When you get something new I'm interested be well

[@IrinaSol66]

Awesome informative video, really appreciated. Thank you! Because of my inexperience, I overwatered my avocado tree and it died ( or so I thought) from root rot. Months after I stopped watering it I realized that it was actually alive and had started growing up from the very bottom, since the rest of the tree (graft included) is dried. The new branch is about a foot below the grafting. Do I need to graft it again? Thank you!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks! I’m sorry to hear your graft died. Yes, if you want a particular variety, you’ll need to graft it onto your branch

[@gqftoast]

Thanks for this. I was an irrigator in the fallbrook area of Ca 45 years ago when there were Reed and Fuerte grove., Many thousands of acres were planted later in the Hills west of Temecula and most of that was Hass because they were smaller so you could get more out of each acre and sell them for the same as a huge reed or the Fuerte which was my personal favorite.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

me here that’s amazing. I love learning history like this. Reed and fuerte groves must have been beautiful.

[@gavinmurray7768]

Hi A.J.! Thx for the great videos. I’ve been subscribed and a fan for some time. I live in NE Florida (Zone 9B) and have been experimenting with creating “multi-cado” trees like some of yours. I’m using cold tolerant varieties as we sometimes get down into the 20’s here. On one of my two year old seedlings I grafted Brogdon, Mexicola Grande, James Bacon, and Lila scions. All except the Lila are thriving (the Lila scions spent too much time in the mail and were in bad condition when I received them). Have you had any luck with bud grafting? Five out of five of mine died. I had much higher success with cleft and veneer grafts.

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks for watching and following my channel. I’ve had limited success with bud grafting. I don’t do it anymore. Glad to hear you’re creating multigrafted avo trees!

After watching your step by step demonstration of grafting, I decided to give it a try. However, I have no access to scions up here in extreme Northern California (almost Oregon). So I had to resort to ordering online. The scions appeared to be in decent shape so I excitedly gave it a try. Sadly none of them made it. I wondered about timing. It was spring, (April) but our nights are still rather cool. Any suggestions?

[@endangiskandar7799]

Dude, you're amazing! You have inspired me. I'm in the process of collecting scion wood now from around my neighbourhood and beyond. I'm in N.Z and we're in the middle of our winter at the moment and i'm looking forward to having another go. i had some false-takes last year that looked promising but then halted. So tell me, why do you wrap your scions? Is that to retain moisture? Keep up the good work!

[@AJTheGraftMan]

PolyNZian thanks! Yes the tape provides moisture and humidity, which keeps the scion alive while it’s fusing with the rootstock.

[@РайнаПетрова-э3б]

Hello. The video is great. My avocado tree is alive but it is too little. It's been 8 month since I started growing it .Some day I am willing to do the crafting if I am successful.

[@aldenamper9735]

I'm a beginner and I just want to know if multi grafting changes the flavor, texture and taste of each fruit?

Alden Amper No, however it does affect the size and shape of the leaves and the overall branching structure of the graft.

Thanks for the knowledge

Great videos. I really want to graft some of the rare varieties you’ve shown onto my trees, but have no idea where to get the scion wood. I also live in Southern California (South Bay - LA County). Any suggestions on where to get the scion wood would be really appreciated.

[@nereidapr1]

I recieved an avocado that the fruit last a long time. It was from my cousin's land. I planted it in dirt with compost and it's growing beautifully. I also have a tree of avocado in the back of my house and since hurricane Maria, it hasn't give any more fruit. The tree is beautiful but no fruit. What can I do to get it to give fruit?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. I'll do a video about this soon. In general, once the 2nd growth flush matures, tape can come off.

[@omaralkie4653]

So its ok to just let the tape on and no need to remove it?

Hey man, thanks for making this video. I've just tried to graft onto a tree that grew from an old pit in my yard, and I've noticed that most of the branches that are available for grafting are already kind of woody rather than green. Is this a hard no-go or is there still a chance it could take? Also, do you cut off other leaves and things above the graft to push energy to the grafted scion?

[@AJTheGraftMan]

Thanks. It can still take. Yes I cut off leaves above and below the graft. I’ve done videos about this specific subject. Check it out on my channel
