Grafting, budding, layering and cuttings ...

[Did67]

I "laid down gourmets thus removed from a plant," in the hot state: 100% recovery (finally 3 or 4!).

[guibnd]

news from my crown transplant - apple paw wolf on franc, the recovery is confirmed! the 3 plugins start well
eventually I will keep only one (that is another story of making a choice to keep only one, this is the subject of many hesitations ). in the meantime, these 3 grafts will grow and form a pretty scar bead (for once a bead is pretty!)
the large dark green leaves on the right, this is the sap that I left and folded in an arc above the grafts to serve as a perch for birds (called huchepie) and protect the grafts.
another small sap-light (light green) on the left; the sap pumps will be removed in a while when the recovery is more certain ...

here, another apple graft: court-pendu rouge sur franc.
actually 2 short-hung grafts (the 2 on the right) and a wolf's paw graft (more on the left).
the quality of the short-hanged grafts was not top, I could only make 2. one of the 2 starts ... the other bof bof.
wolf's pawns him.
here no sap pump carelessness on my part what an ass!
I at least thought of the huchepies!

So there you can teach me! I have had a grafting knife for 2 years, but I still haven't tried it !!! What a shame...

[This is part of my "One idea per day, the will to implement it once a week, and ultimately one idea per year". It's my biorhythm !!!]

Yes, I see that Guibnd master the technique!

well let's see Didier, it's me! It is not because I do transplants (and sometimes I succeed) that you should see me
Knowing how to graft is often perceived as an exceptional almost magical quality, I see it as a succession of small details which all have their importance and which you just need to know.
there you see, on the 2nd photo, I cut all the branches of the rootstock and did not leave any sap extractor (an annoying carelessness on my part). it can play a little on the weakness of the start of the buds of the grafts because the sap is not called enough upwards.
to the pleasure of telling you other tips, you bring me a lot in relation to hay ...

i love your biorhythm thanks to you, i reach out and my back says thank you

thank you Ahmed but you know like me that I did not choose the most difficult ; the crown on an apple tree is relatively simple. besides grafts on seed are easier than grafts on nucleus I find. a complicated English transplant or inlay on cherry (cherry), let's not talk about it.
I did not succeed too badly in the double split graft on cherry tree, with my father we had grafted a high stem cherry tree in double split; one side red cherries and the other white. It was funny. but it has aged badly (20 years) at the level of the bead because ideally, it would have been necessary to sacrifice one side and keep only a graft.
anyway, with the cherry tree the long term problem is often the bead because of the difference in vigor between the rootstock and the graft ...
I'm going to bud a cherry tree this summer and my walnut trees ...
Do you think that budding would limit this phenomenon of strangulation at the level of the graft? (a burlat on cherry)

It was a collective you - all the connoisseurs who contribute on this thread! You see ?

I wanted to tease you

self-correction: more precisely, it is more a question of distributing and directing the surplus sap towards the sap-shot so as not to "drown" the grafts which have not yet sufficiently fused with the rootstock (the graft has was carried out on May 13 and it is June 9, which is barely a month)
