Thank you

@@AJTheGraftMan cheers

Thanks Jeff. Hope your avocado grafts are doing well

ajmal31 Hey AJ, yes most took fine . Thanks. And thank you for having a very informative channel!

Just Jeff sure thing. Thanks for watching!

Great! Good luck with the grafting 🌱👍🏽

Thank you! I’m glad to hear it 😀

You’re welcome. I appreciate the kind words

Thank you. Yes grafting is really fun!

You’re welcome and thank you for watching

Thank you. Always a pleasure to hear from you 😀

Thank you brother! 😊🤗

Thanks! I’m glad it helps

Thank you my friend. My success rate has gone up considerably by using fewer buds

Many thanks 👍🏼🙂

Thank you. Watch my avocado grafting videos on my channel. I have posted many 🙂

@@AJTheGraftMan could you please tell me what will be the appropriate time for grafting? Thank you

Big thanks. I’ve found Fuerte seedlings to be some of the best to graft onto. Yes if you’re in the northern hemisphere, now is a good time to graft

I’ve tried with no luck

I've done chip budding with success with both Reed and Carmen Hass varieties. I've also noticed that the trees I've bought from four winds have been reverse cleft graphs.

Nice. Pinkerton is a great variety. Harvest starts in the beginning of spring. For me that is late February

Thank you. Much appreciated. Scions come from various sources. Best bet is to join the California rare fruit growers club and attend the yearly scion exchange! It usually happens in February

You can try Atkins nursery in fallbrook, CA. I believe they sell scions

Yes you certainly can

I use Fuerte, Reed, or hass seeds, depending on availability. My favorite is Fuerte

Thank you. I love Morocco 🇲🇦

The scion can be from a non-fruit bearing tree, as long as you know that tree will eventually make good fruit.

up to two weeks if stored in a ziploc bag in the fruits and vegetables drawer of the refrigerator

Doesn’t need to be. As long as you can align the scion and the rootstock on one side, you should be ok

I do but they are sold out. I should have more in a few months

@@AJTheGraftMan where are you located? I am in Vista California

Eddie Muñoz I don’t want to say where I live on here. I’m quite far from you, but you can always send me an email if you want: ajsgarden123@gmail.com

Ya it’s strange. It’s happened for me too. Same variety, same type of graft, same water schedule and sun exposure, but some grafts just take off and others don’t. From what I’ve seen in big nursery operations, a greenhouse with high humidity and temperatures makes a big difference with graft success

@@AJTheGraftMan a couple of things I did pick up in my research was 1. Heat and watering and 2. Length of scion. In this case, the idea that when grafting to mature rootstock the scion should be longer as it contains more stored-energy. As we're in autumn in the southern hemisphere we're heading in to colder weather. I may invest in a few heat pads, possibly even grow lights. We do have a small shed that I've been storing some of my seedlings but my next project is some sort of shelter with insect net roof and walls. We will soldier on and make adjustments because that's what good learners do. Keep up the good work my friend👍🥑😉💖

@@AJTheGraftMan One other thing I have been mulling over a lot actually is timing by moon phase. Could some of our graft failures have something to do with non-optimal times? As you know the ocean tide is influenced by the moon's gravitational pull and water table in the soil etc. Apply that to gardening/grafting. Just me thinking aloud here, if we grafted at this optimal time, a time when it would influence sap flow, to flow into our grafts?? Deep I know but worth exploring. I will delve into this further and let you know. Cheers again😉

@@shanghaimuts I agree. Heat and watering are critical. Yes, longer scions have lots of stored energy, sometimes a little too much, to the point where the buds start to grow through the grafting tape on their own, well before the scion fuses with the rootstock. Thanks my brother

@@shanghaimuts This is interesting... Keep me updated. Thanks

Yes you can. As long as the scion you cut is mature enough and has buds. Yes, same maturity

@@AJTheGraftMan Thank you!

I would chop the 2 smallest stems and graft onto the largest, thickest stem. Good luck!

January - February

@@AJTheGraftMan thank you godbless
