Grafting Figs | Chip-Bud Grafting Technique | Quick Demonstration

[@alexandersupertramp7191]

thanks, i much prefer this straight forward demonstration that all the useless talk that accompanies most tutorials. off to graft my figs, thanks

[@JSacadura]

Thanks you all for the support. Grafting figs is great and i am happy to share my experience with it.

@@JSacadura hii which is better in which case ? chip grafting vs t-bud grafting.. u said chip is for root stock or twig 1 year (i suppose 2 years also), and t-budding ? i tried t-budding multiple times before, but all dried up.. oxydized (yellowish color at contact area ) and no fusing.. hence i gave up for as long till now.. always use cleft.. but cleft sometime has issue with joining.. the fork has a hole that accumulate rain water..

[@JSacadura]

I don't like cleft graft for that reason - check my video on modified cleft graft (better healing). Regarding chip versus t-budding. I tend to use chip budding in the spring or early summer (well protected against dehydration). T-budding is a technique that is often best used later in the year (autumn).

[@canonlover6617]

Great! Very well demonstrated. Thanks for sharing.

[@AmanSingh-sm5oi]

Very Very good video ji ❤

Thankyou sir, I'm from IND, I got a lot to learn from you

[@jaymoon8559]

Professionally presented. Thank you

[@petershu1049]

good job thanks for sharing this a great project

[@VictorBonello]

What period of the year should this type of graft be carried out

[@firstname7769]

Can you do chip-bud graft before rooting like you did here? Or was it only an example? Gracias 🙏

[@GardenGrafting]

Imprtant demonstration . Sir wheather mango chip bud grafting is useful or not ? Or chip budding can be done in mango tree ? Reply please sir

[@mandychen9846]

Thx, I did my best to match one side of the cuts.

[@JSacadura]

Don't try too hard to match the cambiums. Make sure they cross at some point and the grafts should take, if you protect the chips well for the first couple of weeks.

[@selfridgefamily7036]

What kind of knife is that? It looks cool.

[@VictorBonello]

A grafting knife

[@shsjskskmx]

Hello! Do you using 1inch parafilm?

[@JSacadura]

Yes. I prefer the 1 inch size. I can fold it to make it stronger when more pressure is needed and the larger size, covers more area of the scions and buds, so I find it easier to use.

[@shsjskskmx]

@@JSacadura Thanks for your help sir!😄

[@mandychen9846]

Hi, thx for showing the grafting. Can I graft before I root the cuttings?

[@JSacadura]

Yes, you can. Beware that you will need a robust rootstock (ideally one that is easy to root), so it can support the stress of grafting and rooting at the same time.

[@mandychen9846]

Thanks so much. I’ve tried the bud grafting, but I’ve not been able to make the match size cut. I’ll practice some more.

[@JSacadura]

The cuts don't need to match precisely. The cambiums must cross at some point, so the tissues can fuse together. When trying to match perfectly, sometimes its possible that they don't touch or cross at any point. With practice you will know when the cuts will work or not and readjust, if necessary.

Great demonstration @JSacadura. How long does it usually take for the new bud to start growing?

[@JSacadura]

Thanks, Tyler. It usually takes between 2-4 weeks, if it's already a well developed bud when it's grafted (a but in dormant wood from the previous year). Some underdeveloped buds may stay dormant for a full season and only wake up next spring. With green buds, like i'm using for the demonstration, it depends on the time of grafting - about the same as the dormant one's, if grafted in Spring or they also only start growing next Spring, if grafted in the Autumn. You can see real grafts (not demonstrations) developing in my other video on Chip-Bud Grafting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKfdkGqumLyEabs&t

[@JSacadura]

Sorry for the hilarious typo - i meant (a bud in dormant wood...)

[@tyenns9]

Thanks so much for the detailed response. Your videos are extremely helpful.

[@user-hf2ff7ws1d]

Great video! Thank you for putting it together. All of your videos are educational. Tried finding the answer in the comments sections and forums but striking out; What brand of grafting knife do you use?

[@user-hf2ff7ws1d]

I found the answer here; growingfruit.org/t/grafting-figs-video-chip-budding-and-t-budding/12176. Very informative. Thank you.

[@JSacadura]

I have the good fortune of having very good craftsman in our country (there's a small village in the north of Portugal, Trás-os-Montes region, village of Palaçoulo) which is famous for the knives they make and that sell them cheap. The one i'm using in the video, it's also handmade by craftsman Gilberto Ferreira from Aveleda. A similar one is sold here - www.navalhasmirandesas.com/index.php/produtos/facas-gilberto-ferreira-aveleda/product/92-navalha-gilberto-ferreira-aveleda-de-enxertia-ref-ngfa011 Another website where these types of grafting knives are sold - www.navalhas.pt/ search word - enxertia

[@glma2711]

If you were to root that sample branch you grafted, will it work? Or is this only ideal for rooted plants? Conversely, can you still root the donor branch with the missing nodes?

[@JSacadura]

It could work, if you graft to a robust and vigorous cutting. But the added stress of trying to fuse the tissues, added to the need to produce roots, would probably be too much for the cutting that has only the energy stored within it. That's why the air layer works better, as it uses the energy of the whole plant.

[@JSacadura]

Also, you can try to root the donor branch but the wound of the missing nodes will prove too much and it usually dies. If its a long enough cutting i remove only the two lower buds, cut it above the wounds and root the rest.

[@zahidqureshi8591]

Hi,should it only be the skin of the chip or along with some wood?

[@JSacadura]

In chip-budding you do take some wood with the bud. In T-budding you usually, only peel the "skin" along with the bud.

[@zahidqureshi8591]

@@JSacadura thanks a lot and lots of love from Kashmir.

[@sarab9933]

from where do you order the grafting tape? I ordered from few vendors online, but not good quality. please advise. thanks in advance.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Sara. Search Amazon for "Parafilm Nursery Grafting Tape"

Nice music. Who is the artist?

The song is called 'Bet on It' by Silent Partner

Hola JSacadura Un saludo para nuestros vecinos portugueses desde Extremadura. Me parece impresionante el trabajo que realiza. Un verdadero placer visual. Me gustaría realizarle dos breves preguntas que puedan ser de interés a otras personas. 1. Existe alguna diferencia entre el injerto de escudete con madera y el de chip (que se realiza siempre con madera). 2. Las yemas que se utilizan para higuera en injertos a yema velando de escudete. Deben ser yemas de brotes del año (brotes tiernos) o de la primavera anterior. Un fuerte saludo y gracias por tu ayuda.

[@JSacadura]

Hola, Dex. 1. La diferencia es que en el injerto de escudete, la yema, mismo con madera, siempre se coloca adentro de la corteza, mientras en el injerto de chip, no. 2. Yo suelo utilizar más brotes de la primavera anterior (con yemas en dormência), pero se pueden utilizar brotes del año, a pesar de que son algo más sensibles a la deshidratación, por eso se tienen que proteger muy bien. Un saludo.

[@JSacadura]

1. La otra diferencia es que el injerto de escudete se tiene que hacer con la savia en plena circulación (para que la corteza se despegue) y eso no es absolutamente necesario en el injerto de chip (pero debe haber alguna circulación de savia para que los tejidos del cambium se puedan empezar a unir, o el chip se puede secar)

[@mygreenworld8041]

I dont get it? Hiw gonna new leaf goo tro the tape?

[@JSacadura]

Its a special waxy tape. The new buds have no difficulty to break through it, if you cover them with only one layer of the stuff. And the tape protects the buds until they are ready to start growing.

Boa noite, onde é que se pode comprar a fita usada no vídeo? Obrigado
