Inarching Projects

(1/1)

skhan:
I tried my hand at inarching on a sickly avocado tree that I transplanted one to many times.
Everything seems like it has healed up and the tree is looking a lot better.

Because of the success I finally decided to try Inarching my Mamey.

Here is a picture from early 2017, I planted the Mamey along with two Canistel seedling I had laying around.


Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the area before grafting.
The Canistels grow quite a bit though.

The first Inarch was more like a veneer or approach graft. (the bottom only lined up on one side)


The second one was like a side cleft


Final product:


Well see in a few months if this takes.
I don't really know what time of the year is best for inarching as they seem to take a lot longer to heal the regular grafting.

Apparently Mamey doesn't like or limestone soil here so I'm hoping the canistel root system will help it thrive.

Ethan:
Good luck Skhan, it'll be interesting to watch it grow!

simon_grow:
Awesome project, please keep us updated. I’ve found that recently sprouted seedlings or newer green growth heals the fastest. In Spring or Summer when trees are actively growing, the unions heal over very quickly.
