Grafting

I have used a wide variety of grafting methods and different methods sometimes work better on some plants. Some plants are very easy and almost any method will work. I do not know what methods are best for olives, but it may depend on what your kind of stock you are using (seedling or mature trees).

Put 10 nectarines, and 8 pears on crab apples at neighbors:^)

Once Ante learns how to graft he won't be burning any olive wood any more.. lol

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

Today I grafted 2 budsticks of Ark 21 & Ark 22 Paw Paws to my 2 waking Paw Paw trees. They already have tiny baby blossoms on!! This will be my 1st year to have fruit after growing them for 5 years! I'll wait & then graft the other 4 on them.
I'd love to have some avo budwood. I got some from Joe Real last year...they took & then died :(

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

This is the first time in 3 years before I saw bunch of flowers to my large fruit calamondin grafted to Joe Reals' cal who gave that to me years ago. Still I am waiting for the first flower for Joe Real's Bicol calamondin grafted to the same tree at the same time. I am also harvesting meyer lemons and dream navels and yashimoto orange that I grafted to my Eureka lemon tree. I harvested 3 buckets of Washington navel yesterday in one tree.

Good Luck Ante :^)

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

To noidea - A few years ago, I made some trees that were three on one, by grafting plum and apricot onto peach. They did fine, for as long as I had them (they are all Prunus). I didn't want them, but other people asked for them, so they were sold, after a couple of years, and I don't know what happened to them after that. And your scion will remain apricot; it will not turn into a plumcot, or anything.

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

Few more Olives

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

Good for you Ante... glad you took the 'plunge' LOL. What kind of graft did you do? If you do the wedge graft http://www.bananas.org/f8/what-did-y...html#post69819
make sure they are both same size or at least, line up one side to be even. Then, shave a tiny sliver off each edge of the scion before you insert it into wedge opening.
I'm going out now to graft the other 4 Paw Paw scions :)

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

I did it this way Patty:

Any coments?

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

I actually grafted this just after the autumnal equinox, it looks like the graft is taking. It's been almost two years since I've done some grafting, that I remember.

This is from a selected seedling from known parentage. The tree has been producing for three years now. The fruit is large with lots of "meat" on it, no fiber, excellent taste, and when picked "mature green" exhibits a long shelf life. The size is comparable to Keitt.


One of our friends likes this mango better than the Kents she grows, and my wife really likes it (she is really picky with mangos).

Re: What did you graft today ?
 

Caloosa, what kind of fruit did you describe?

Re: What did you graft today ?

The graft is of a Mango tree. :jalapenonaner:
