Trees in the background are great

Nothing but love Ross....I think this is one of the situations where manual focus would’ve really helped. Just trying to help, my friend. Over than that, another great video!

[@justinbelt8032]

shoot in front of a wall. this video is about detail - which is lost in the blur.

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

if i have trouble with focus, I'll hang a paper or towel etc just on the other side of what I'm filming e.g. coat hanger with a pillow case draped over the long straight part and then hang from a higher branch to it creates a backdrop....then your cell phone camera (or other autofocus) will focus on what you are doing. Great Video, would be awesome to really see the detail. Perhaps you can re-do this video sometime.

[@firstname7769]

If you cross your eyes while watching this video you can make it go into focus.

[@holdenbeck8636]

Thanks Ross. I'm going to have to graft onto my in ground BT next year. Probably going to do a cocktail tree for fun.

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Easiest but is it the most successful? Do you know how many you have done and the take rate? I had to do a few (due to the large size of the scions) and the chips healed but no bud break so I'm wondering if it will actually lead to any growth. Meanwhile my cleft, rind bark and saddle grafts have taken off and are full of figs.

[@RossRaddi]

It's not AS successful, but it's close and I really like how the graft heals.

[@ZonaFigs]

Lol just as I posted my question, you answered it. I should have just hushed and listened a few more minutes

[@DubsmashAREHAIAa]

This channel is so underrated I can't believe it so much great information.

[@robertbrawley5048]

I wouldn't say it's underrated. This channel is the premire channel for fig growing and growing characteristic of many varieties

[@Placeholder476]

01:54 That's the rustiest knife I've ever seen. Don't cut yourself.

[@bannguyen5057]

What is the plastic tape that you are taping the grafts? Name? Where can I buy it please. Thanks

[@idahogirlb]

You made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarat67]

What time of year is it best to graft with this method, or rather what seasonal "state" does the tree have to be in? And maybe what temperature.

[@chrisherrin1291]

Thanks Ross you are a great help, especially explaining in detail

[@silveradocanman2516]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that if you're cutting the cambium on the bottom chip, that the top 2 won't be up-taking nutrients because the cambium was cut below it? Wouldn't it make sense to stagger them a bit rather than have them vertically aligned? My guess is most of you bottom buds have success rather than the top ones.

[@mfehmi]

SilveradoCanMan He’s not cutting the whole cambium layer , so all the buds should have a chance. Also, the sap isn’t always flowing from bottom to top, it all depends on the moon phase. If we’re at full moon, the sap will be very high in the branches and leaves and in the next moon phase the sap will go down. In other words, any of those 3 buds could be successful.

[@KabayangManny]

Very grafting technique

[@Peterzemlany]

Did u put tape over the buds? couldn't see too well because it was out of focus, thank you for that

[@Plantsknowthings]

Thanks for the video man!

[@Iloveorganicgardening]

That's great Ross. I have some grafting I've been wanting to do soon. I would like to try the bud grafting. I finally got my spring fig video up this morning. My tree that had a bunch of brebas lost most of them. There's only three left unless there's some still hiding that I didn't see. Do you think it's because we got too much moisture? They turned black and shriveled up.

[@RossRaddi]

Celeste drops breba.

[@ZonaFigs]

Hey Ross do you do this bud graft technique while the tree is dormant? Or can you do it any time of the year? You just knock the leaves off of your bud and then graft?

[@codychickadee5095]

I'm from the north so I can't speak for figs, but for plums and pears apples etc. You want your rootstock awake and your scion wood dormant. You can graft now using this year's growth, the bud at the base of the petiole (dormant bud will waken next year) onto viable rootstock and that bud will shoot up in spring.

[@ZonaFigs]

@codychickadee5095 ok awesome, thanks a lot cody!!!

[@codychickadee5095]

@@ZonaFigs my pleasure. I have gotten the grafting bug and am pretty excited about all of the possibilities. Happy to share. There are lots of great videos on youtube if you keep digging. There is a fella I can't recall exactly but his channel is named something like "Jsacadura" he has a ton of great and informative videos.

[@ZonaFigs]

@codychickadee5095 yep, I've seen some of his videos. It's great stuff. I have grafted 4 apples, 3 mulberries, 4 satsumas, and 2 mangoes, and only I 1 apple graft has taken and grew, so I was going to try the bud graft on a fig.

[@codychickadee5095]

@@ZonaFigs awesome, I really like the chip bud method! The only criticism I have for this video here is doing multiple buds at a time allows things to dry out. I think it's best to do one at a time and limit the amount of oxidation on the cambium. It happens as fast as a cut apple I swear.

[@cmt6136]

How long in summer for us to know whether a bud graft is successful? Is summer suitable for bud grafting?

[@claramunk7410]

Focus goes in and out ~ tricky for a beginner to learn from

[@OMearify]

Man, fix your camera focus it really ruined this wonderful video.

[@edmondshahbaz6659]

How come you put all these grafts on one side of the root stock ?

[@roccoconte2960]

Very interesting video Ross, good job.

[@michelecarbonara8041]

Very nice and interesting video, i just want to hask you a question, i live in South Italy and o want to make fig tree graft just to change variety, could you tell me the wright periodo to do it, the rootstock must ne in vegetation? And the scion not, if it is so the scion mister jeep it in the refrigerator? Please if you can answer me you will ne very kind ,thank you very much.

[@RossRaddi]

The tree must be growing. Best time is shortly after the tree wakes up and sap flow is medium in strength.

[@michelecarbonara8041]

Thank you very much Mr Ross, you have been very kind and very helpful, i will keep on watch your videos they are all very interesting

[@crazyrees23]

Can you chip bud on the top of a tree?

[@cmt6136]

I am practicing bud grafting. But I do it slightly differently. I just cut around the bud and peel it off from the scion. And it doesn't carry xylem

[@maysaraabdo5339]

I have read a lot that Brown Turkey is one of the best rootstocks. This is valuable video you made you state Rasberry Latte is another one. In your experience what are your top three rootstocks for FIg grafting?

[@TreDogOfficial]

Great video, I wanna bud graft a fig tree. Do fig trees do well in humid areas? I wanna grow one in my GeoDome Greenhouse

[@RossRaddi]

They prefer dry climates.

[@xvx4848]

Hey Ross I have a kinda weird question for you. I picked up a Brown Turkey Fig today and when I went to go plant it in a new container (from the 5 gallon container it was in) as the rootball was coming out of the container the soil suddenly broke in half and fell apart. There wasn't a ton of roots throughout the soil so I assume the plant was relatively young and maybe the roots weren't fully developed. Anyway I went ahead and planted the top half, even though I lost some roots to the bottom half. Will the plant recover or should I think about returning it?

[@RossRaddi]

You probably have the answer by now.

[@RossRaddi]

If it's going to live, you would know.

[@barbermen8831]

Iwant some fruit in one tree we can or not.?

[@silverray7]

hi Ross i know you sell fig trees, but can you sell a grafted fruit tree, like plum or any stone fruit tree?

[@antoniosilveira8514]

GREAT SIR THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS

[@mfehmi]

Ross, great video!! What type of graft in your experience is the most effective one?

[@edmondshahbaz6659]

Sorry I saw you graft them all around the stock root at the end of your video Good job

[@mykvass]

who is selling rootstock ?

[@Zoe-sj7of]

Where can we but it from?

[@Zoe-sj7of]

Any idea where we can buy it from?

[@justinfiorini3142]

I thought you were gonna sharpen that knife!

[@RossRaddi]

I think I filmed a few grafting videos with the knife in it's current state. You're gonna have to be patient :D

[@jimhoge3252]

Too bad your video isn’t in focus.

[@javedkhan0258]

Good info but the off focus

[@cezaryter6663]

no fooking focus?????????? why you not do manual focus????

[@michelecarbonara8041]

(Must keep in the refrigerator)

[@tomhackman8115]

HI EVERYONE THIS IS CALLED CHIP BUDDING

[@christopherchristopher4820]

Man i hope you stay up to date on your tetanus shots

[@drsameerpurohit8847]

RIP camera focus

[@apotheosis4757]

All see is blur

[@MiguelSilva-wu8kv]

[@minh4835]

Hard to watch out of focus video

[@lowbrow]

turn off autofocus

[@raymondhadwiger2244]

It would be good if you edited all the useless filming out.

[@Popyrpopy2312]

Poor poor video quality!
