Propagation of Japanese Maples by Grafting - Both Red leaf and Green Leaf types.
Most Japanese Maples including the laceleaf types are grafted, in this video we look at how and when to graft a Japanese Maple including some of the problems.
Scion selection involves choosing the right grafting material.
Rootstock should be well watered for 3 - 4 weeks before grafting.
The best time to graft Japanese Maples is in summer.
You will need some grafting tape and a grafting knife as well as the grafting material and the stock to graft onto.
Time between making the cuts and attaching the scion to the rootstock needs to be around 10 - 15 seconds. The shorter the better.
You need to ensure that the grafting tape is removed at the correct time to prevent over callusing. The head and stock stump are removed later on in the process.
Grafting means that you will get an exact clone of the plant.
Grafting onto very small stock will give inferior and slower growth.
Any growth beneath the graft need to be removed.
