WHEN to use WEDGE GRAFTING TECHNIQUE on FRUIT TREES

The STRONG Connection, NO TYING Wedge Grafting Technique is one of the best you can use to graft medium and large diameter fruit tree rootstocks or when changing varieties in your Fruit Trees. It can be used in plants with thin bark, unlike the BARK GRAFTING technique. The wedge shaped scions secure firmly to the rootstock and NO TYING is necessary. It also produces a STRONG connection with no hollow spaces in the rootstock wood.

Do you need to graft in late winter and the bark is not slipping? Use the Wedge Graft and you don’t have to worry about that. Large scions can be used even in rootstock with thin bark. Rock solid unions without any need to tie the grafts and no hollow spaces inside the rootstock wood, like in the double cleft bark. Not the easiest of grafting techniques to master, but well worth the trouble. If you like my work, LIKE, Subscribe, Share the Video and leave a Comment to help me make more. I will try to answer as many comments as I can.

[@ornelassilva6778]

Hello I have a question what technique do you use to grow apple faster because I have heard that they start having fruits in 6 or 5 years

[@dragosd8992]

Hello, I have just bark grafted a cherry tree but the bark wasn’t very slippery. Could the graft still work?

[@JSacadura]

If the apples where grown from seed that not much you can do (apart from taking good care of the tree and making sure it has all it needs to grow properly), as you will have to wait 5-6 or, sometimes, even more years for the start of fruit production. Grafted apples, on the other hand, will typically start producing fruits at 2-3 years old, depending on several factors, like the pruning method and the rootstock used.

[@JSacadura]

Dragos, the graft might still work. The problem with lifting the bark while the plant is still in dormancy (as I try to show in this video) is that it might not lift at the right point - where the cambium layer is located If that happened the scion won't have a chance of healing with the rootstock. When the sap is flowing, the bark slips easily and the cambium layer of the rootstock is exposed when you lift the bark - which makes the healing process with the cambium layer of the scion pretty much guaranteed.

[@dragosd8992]

Hi, Jared. It works pretty well but its a bit tricky to execute. Bark grafting is much easier to do, but the risks of dehydration from heat, with the good weather, also increase.

[@kablevins]

Thank you. Your videos are excellent. The step-by-step instructions you give are easy to follow. I am going to try this technique with some well-established sour citrus rootstock and also with wild plum rootstock (Central Florida, USA). Do you make your own pruning paste? If so, I would be interested in a video about that. Best to you!

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Kimberly. The characteristics of citrus wood rarely proves well with this grafting technique, but you are welcome to try it. Nevertheless, I would probably use patch grafting (on older trees) or bud grafting (if the trees are younger), instead. For the time being I am using a commercial resin based pruning paste. But soon, I will start making my own, from bees wax and vegetable oil. I can try to make a video on the subject. Thanks for the suggestion.

What a great video, thanks J! I wonder what you think about grafting figs to mulberry rootstock. I have a 15 year old volunteer mulberry tree - male - about 8 inches in diameter at the base. could I cut that tree down to a stump and wedge graft or bark graft figs on it with the hopes of successful grafts that bear well?

[@andrestellocamacho19]

[@JSacadura]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment.

[@pedrogonzalesgonzales5097]

Another excellent video. Thank you. Quick question. Parallel cuts would never meet But of course they do at the apex of the wedge

[@JSacadura]

You got me, Pedro😉. The cuts start in different directions, starting from the same point at the bottom. I did include the "parallel" bit, to reinforce that, at the top, they should aim roughly to the center of the tree. That way, the wedge chip separates easily and perfectly, by the growing annual rings. Afterwards, is just a matter of making a similar shape in the scion and force it downward, so it secures firmly in place and its cambium layer crosses at some point with the one from the roostock.

[@pilararaujo9632]

Tks

[@santatamang9661]

Excellent

[@stonedapefarmer]

My grandfather felled a tree on top of my mom's weeping cherry and broke it. Was surprised to see that it was grafted twice; the trunk onto the rootstock, and the crown onto the trunk. The graft is still partially intact, so I was debating just waiting to see if it sent out more shoots in the spring. If not, I was considering a bud or bark graft to repair the tree. This might be another option, but the trunk is still a fairly small diameter... perhaps a couple inches.

[@JSacadura]

They probably used an interstock (intergraft). These are used for several reasons but in cherries its usually so we can use a specific rootstock that is incompatible with the desired cherry variety. Using an intergraft that is compatible with both rootstock and variety avoids any incompatibility problems between them. If you still have the trunk (the intergraft) you can graft any variety on it (if the bark is not thick enough for a bark graft, wait for a shoot or use the wedge graft). Grafting directly on the rootstock or any shoot from it, will probably fail.

[@upupandaway5646]

Thank you very much I.ll try this with my fig trees

[@JSacadura]

Hi. The wood of fig trees is usually a bit soft to use this grafting technique. You can try it, but even if it takes the graft might dry out after a while. This happens because large diameter branches are not a good place to place grafts, in fig trees, as these tend to remove sap from those areas quite quickly when they are cut. I prefer to graft younger branches that grow after the cut, using whip and tongue or chip-budding.

[@nutgrower2957]

A lot of people simply root fig branches. Have you seen that done?

[@Ariel_Asker]

@@nutgrower2957 It takes longer to form a tree, though. Grafting on an adult fig tree gives you more wood faster.

[@nutgrower2957]

@@Ariel_Asker Good point!

[@JSacadura]

@Emmanuel Imbert is right. And if you have limited space and can only have one fig tree, grafting allows for more than one variety in the same tree, like I show in this older video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmWufZiaqKiGgZY

[@albert4052]

Pensé que introduciría un poco más la corteza del injerto y no enrasarla con la corteza del portainjertos, por juntar algo más con el cambium o existe así contacto ? Lo digo porque la corteza del portainjertos es mucho más gruesa que la del injerto, Muy buen vídeo, saludos

[@JSacadura]

La púa queda ligeramente salida en la zona inferior (el corte en la zona posterior la hace avanzar cuando se inserta). De esta forma, siempre hay algún punto arriba donde las zonas de cambium hacen contacto (el punto donde se cruzan). La unión comenzará precisamente en ese punto.

[@khaledtrawi7724]

Muito bom! 👌 Tenho só uma questão. Para este tipo de enxerto podemos usar garfos com mais de 1 ano de crescimento e aproveitar o facto de terem um diâmetro maior para acelerar o processo de crescimento do mesmo? Muito obrigado pela partilha!

[@JSacadura]

Sim, podemos usar garfos com madeira de dois anos, mas corremos o risco da percentagem de enxertos com sucesso seja mais baixa. Se tivermos acesso a garfos vigorosos de um ano é sempre preferível optar por estes.

[@JSacadura]

You're very kind but I am only spreading my experiences. No Great Master here. Wedge Grafting is used in late winter/early spring when the rootstocks are still in dormancy and the bark is not slipping so you can't use the bark graft yet. If the weather is hotter and the bark is slipping its easier to use the bark graft (I have several videos on that grafting technique). That' small "axe" is a local tool that you probably won't find elsewhere, but any small meat cleaver or heavier meat knife will do the same job.

I prefer Modified Cleft (in younger trees) or Inlay Bark Grafting (when changing varieties in older trees), nailed to the rootstock to avoid graft failure from sap pressure (I also "bleed" the sap before the graft so it doesn't "drown").
