This video was great! I've always had an interest in grafting. My grandfather who grew up in Georgia grafts almost anything that will stand still for it, so I guess it was wise he chose trees! :D You're extremely great at what you do, I hope it brings you a lot of joy!

That is one sharp knife! Thanks for the video. Getting those cuts straight is my hardest problem. Well done.

Never saw that because on out tropical island we dont grow those...mega like!

"Gasoline & hand grenades" LOL Hahahahaha! You're funny. I'd love to come and intern on your farm!

Great job, I didn't know how that was done. Thanks......

@1963impala2dr thanks for the explaination--ive never seen or heard of this--i watched all your vids on this and found them quite interesting------and thanks for the comment on my engine build-----Don

You Sir are a professional! I have put a few vids of grafting from my tiny UK orchard, get a lot of views, people like to learn this kind of skill, great use of youtube. I do the rind graft a litle differently, just slitting one side, and it seems to work well as long as the cambium meets the cambium. Hope you can post some follow up vids to show the aftercare, I assume you'll be trimming to one dominant leader. kindest regards from Old England

@HoboNetWeaver I used wax thirty some years ago but it is way too slow to use on a commercial basis. the paint is much faster to apply plus in the early spring, the black draws heat which promotes callusing. when the weather warms up, I have the growers apply a white wash over the black to prevent sunburn. a good practice regardless of which type of sealer is used. thanks for watching.

Excellent mate,good to see others grafting skillfully.Most of the orchards we used to have over here have been ripped up.

Thats amazing, I had herd of doing something similar, but had no idea how it was done, but like my farmer grandpa would have said, "thats a cityboy for ya". The old car hobby has all kinds, and we all mix well because of our hobby, I have sold many 57 chevys to a group of sheep sheerers in australia, they have worn the lines off their knuckles from sheering so many sheep. Great video, lots more scenic than a factory,lol

yep.. sure could.. thats what its all about., changing varieties. commercially its done to switch to a more profitable variety but for the home owner.. its just to get what you want to eat.. and you can put several varieties on one tree

Interesting video, I never had any idea it could be done like this.

Very well explained. Don't worry about the winds noise. If you could stop the wind, you would not have to worry about grafting! Lol

thank you

you should combine all your videos into one epic movie---I DO ENJOY THEM

+joe moore well, if you go to my channel, there is a play list with all the grafting videos in it. put youtube on "autoplay" and you'll have your movie. haha.. thanks for watching..

Good job!

@capsluvbass thank you. I'll be starting my season soon. and I'm on the road booking work as we speak. .good for grandpa!!

@bigpaw64 we put the graft wood in (scions) in the early spring.. the buds grow that season into maybe 2 or 3 foot shoots.. those being the primary scaffolds...or structure of the new tree.. begin to bear fruit "decent amount" the third year.. gets the farmer back into production much faster and cheaper than tearing them all out and planting new trees..

@brandongunn2003 thank you. I appreciate you watching. years ago, I had several dozen grafting knives made up as per my specs by a company in Germany. I thought they would last a lifetime, but actually, I am almost out of them. I look for steel that is tempered just right so that it is hard enough to hold an edge, but soft enough to sharpen fairly easily. too hard and the final edge will chip little pieces out. too soft and the final edge will roll over.

I have been making chefs knives on a small run for forty years. They are ultra knives that I hand fit to the chef. They really last for years and I can just not make enough to keep them happy. Working with hot metal is my thing. Would love to see your design and for the hell of it make you one for free. Just send dimensions and I an sure you know how to do that with your KZread production. I really enjoy your demonstrations of grafting. Even though I never grafted this is a real art form. Good day to you Sir. VF

thanks for teaching =)

good stuff =)

thanks for stopping by

@brandongunn2003 get a good J.A. Henckels boning knife. then cut the end off, leaving about a 3.5 - 4 inch blade. after cutting the end off, the boning knife blade will be thick enough so that it does not "flex" when you make your cut. cant have any flex in the blade if you are to make a super straight cut.. which is what you need when cutting grafting scions.. a limber blade will allow the cut to "scoop" and can leave an air pocket in the graft. hope this helps. thanks

@jamesryanphoto generally, you'd want a disease resistant root stock, but I'm not sure if fire blight is systemic or air borne so I cant tell you if grafting is the cure. I've not seen it much in apples but a LOT in pears, especially in a wet spring such as this one. The pear growers treat it like leprosy! they cut it out, transport it out of the orchard and burn it!. you'll have to research the disease further, but I've never never had a call for that particular situation.

very nice very nice. but does it have a possiblites to burn the trank from speed of circulation ???

@73scamp you are welcome

boy.. not sure when I'll get back to that same field, its 3 hrs from me.. success rate with this particular technique and on apples is usually high 90's borrowing unforeseen hot weather etc.. apples are fairly dependable.. now..cherries.. thats another story! :)

thanks for watching

If I have an Apple tree suffering from fire blight and I cut it down to about 3 ft tall and graft disease resistant shoots onto it will the tree then become disease resistant or dose the rootstock need to be disease resistant.

Liked the video. What kind of knife are you using, where can I get one. Thanks.......

at some point can we see the block growing? what is the successes rate for grafts like this? and great vid as always thank you JOHN

what kind of rootstock are grafted ?

how long does it take to grow

not sure what the root stock is.. maybe M9. the understock is some fugi that doesnt color well

Cool...... So I've got this old crab apple tree in my front yard, but my neighbor has a bunch of trees up at his place with the best delicious red apples I've ever tasted. Recon I could graft some of his branches to my tree?

Ken when do you stump cut the tree do you wait till it breaks or while dormant I have a 30 year old artificial apple tree I am trying to change varieties to something eddible golden or red delicious

@capsluvbass if only I had a farm!

do the grafting when the sap is up in the spring. thats when the bark is slipping

1963impala2dr ask m mm:;

You're the fastest grafter I've ever seen! Would like to learn from you, how many acres do you have?

whats your success rate?

So it must be spring to graft them?

@1963impala2drWaylonWire

yes

so you are making TWO cuts in the tree as wide as the scion. i have never seen that before why two instead of one

@1963impala2drWaylonWire

I make two cuts so the bark does not lift up off the wood on either side of the scion. if you only make one cut, then when you slip the scion in, the bark will lift up on the side you didn't cut leaving an air pocket allowing the cambium to dry out on that one side. it doesn't mean it wont grow but the union will not be as strong for wind resistance and you will not have a vascular system on that side feeding nutrients into the new shoots.

trank? I assume you mean "trunk" and by "speed of circulation" , I think maybe you are asking if the root system will be depleted by accelerated growth due to grafting. if thats the question, the answer is no. depending on the root system, it will only produce a certain amount of energy through the cambium layer and thats all you get. hence, "dwarf trees etc...

whats your companys name?

@bigpaw64 you are welcome Don, "most" people..even here in the apple capital of the world do not know such a thing exists.. although it speaks of grafting olives in the bible.. nothing new! haha take care
