Hi, I'm watching you from Ukraine. I am learning from you, I plan to grow maples here. There is a war in our country, and I hope that everything will end soon and I will be able to fully engage in production and sales. thanks for the information

[@baldoalaniz8664]

Very glad you guys make content like this. I really want to learn crafting. Thank you for the class 👏👍

[@MrMapleShow]

Good job staying focused guys! Answered every question I had!

[@wictorsson]

I have been waiting for this one.....Hurray

[@jordanhackworth7954]

Me too! Good stuff

[@SimplyJapaneseMaples]

Thanks Matt and Tim. Great to hear about the wins and the losses of grafting. I know I have definitely had some wins and also been left scratching my head at times, too.

[@MrMapleShow]

Our pleasure!

[@lukenorvell7144]

This one was a banger guys, I learned a lot! Thanks again. Can’t wait for my japonicum to make it to San Diego

[@MrMapleShow]

Any time!

[@matthewpetersen4417]

I want to try my own graft one day; I have my stock growing. But got to learn first.

[@seb_into_the_wild2810]

Many thanks for this video. Very clear, very instructive. I didn't know the hot callusing method, it will help me with my grafting of beeches. I really appreciate this content.

[@MrMapleShow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Chris-oq6kn]

What a great video! I couldnt wait for one of these. Well done #japanesemaples.

[@MrMapleShow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@MrMapleShow ive seen it done but it would be great to see approach grafting and thread grafting also.

[@alexpfliger9723]

This was so fun! and interesting and informative for beginners to learn about grafting🤩. I very much appreciate this content and sharing with us all. Thank you Mr.maple🐐! #japanesemaples❤️🍁🔥.

Fantastic guys, thanks. Best video yet. Love getting into the details and techniques and really makes one appreciate the work that you guys do and the quality of your plants. 👍

[@MrMapleShow]

Our pleasure!

[@eb4684]

So cool, I gotta try this 😮

[@GardeningWithMaples]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for, thank you very much for sharing. #japanesemaples

[@MrMapleShow]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@19regal83]

Been waiting patiently for this one. I've been growing rootstock for 4 or 5 years and started (summer) grafting two year ago, 91.2 success rate. Lol. I have enough rootstock to try winter grafting now. Thanks guys for another great video!

[@MrMapleShow]

Best of luck!

[@dwed1234]

Don’t suppose you can do one for cuttings too? You mention cuttings in this video but can’t seem to find one of your videos that covers this? You guys do an amazing job 👍

[@MrMapleShow]

Yes I can

[@Acer_Nico]

Cool one...

[@DianePahl]

This video is fabulous! Thank you so much for uploading it. I didn't quite understand the heat (?) with PVC thing - maybe kind of? I hope you do another grafting in depth video with real close ups! Thank you again!

[@MrMapleShow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MapleManiac]

[@billbarger6072]

Thank you! Never pass up a chance to learn something.

[@MrMapleShow]

You bet!

[@jackiemonroejemfpv4204]

I would love to learn this skill from you! Please share details of grafting classes schedule. If you still do these classes. ✌️😎

[@MrMapleShow]

Sounds good!

[@ryanmack9097]

Great video. I was also wondering at what point do you pot up the seedlings from your seed flat to those Anderson band pots?

[@MrMapleShow]

Once they harden off mid summer

[@garylenny1757]

I appreciate the content as always guys 🙏🏻 this one in particular as I'm going to start grafting some of my maples this spring, is this the best time? I'm based in the UK and I wanted to know your advice on the post care once grafted in this country and climate? Such as the best place to put it and maintain once grafted to make sure the graft strikes! I took your advice on finding some ghost maples at Junkers yard and managed to purchase a Mikazuki, purple ghost and Amber Ghost. Also managed to get a Como, Sawa Chidori, Peaches and cream, amagi shigure, ariadne and a Sawa from another place. So I have a lot of wonderful specimens that I can't wait to re produce and multiply! Thankyou so much 🙏🏻

[@MrMapleShow]

I’m not familiar but I do mostly winter grafting here in NC abs I would think it would be similar

[@yakofdez4698]

Thank you Matt and Tim, amazing and very informative video, as always. Is this technique the only one that works for Japanese maples? Or could it be possible to use other techniques like tongue, cleft, bark or splice grafting? And what about budding (patch budding, chip budding, and T-Budding)? . I'm curious because in all the videos I've seen so far on grafting Japanese maples people use side-veneer grafting, which made me wonder if that's the only technique that works for these trees or it just has the highest rate of success, especially when some trees I own seem to have been grafted in a different way (or maybe I'm wrong, since the graft becomes less prominent with time to the point it might be hard to see where the tree was grafted if it's a very mature specimen) . And if several techniques are possible, how do you know when to use one over others? Thank you again for teaching us so much about these wonderful trees.

[@MrMapleShow]

Several techniques are possible. We feel this is the best for looks long term

[@ryanmack9097]

If your graft fails, will you re-use the root stock to try again if it's still alive?

[@MrMapleShow]

Only if it can be done lower on a healthy rootstock that has completely healed

[@garylenny1757]

Can you use the rootstock of a palmatum to graft a Shirasawanum aureum?

[@dennispovloski8102]

Fantastic video. Thank you! Random question: Is it possible to graft a Japanese Maple to a non-japanese maple? For example, I have an extremely vigorous maple tree in my yard. Could I use something like that for root stock?

[@MrMapleShow]

No they need to be in the same genus and plant family to work typically

[@Chris-oq6kn]

Hey guys i have a grafting question, i have a japanese black pine and i want to do an approach graft with one of its own branches into the trunk . Ive seen 2 ways on yt one where they remove the cambium on the sides of the graft and lay it into the trunk and one they just lay the branch into the trunk without removing cambium and nail it in. I was told without removing cambium the branch will still take im guessing the tree will roll over the graft and take to itself but how do i know when to cut the branch off then.? How would it fuse without removing the cambium? Im confused. Hope u guys could help me out with this

[@MrMapleShow]

I do not think a take is possible without cambium alignment

[@treypitchford1516]

Is grafted trees more expensive then not grafted trees

[@MrMapleShow]

Grafted trees are better trees than rooted cuttings

[@thescatman1846]

what state are you guys from?

[@MrMapleShow]

North Carolina

[@killabeez321]

When you say the soil is 85% pine bark.....like nuggets? Composted pine bark? What kind?

[@blakelanders6966]

Would using a grafting gun with a ginkgo tree work?

[@MrMapleShow]

Possible ur they would have to be the exact same size. It typically works best on fruit trees
