Why Graft That?
« on: October 30, 2012, 06:03:41 PM »
Thinking of grafting everything!  From Cherapu, to  bamboo!!!!

Tell me what strange stuff you are thinking of grafting and why?

here's a short list of stuff for me

Passion fruit (not strange really)
Papaya
Fig (already done quite a few, very easily)

Because I'm stupid and crazy, I'd also like to graft,
Palms
and
Bananas

but I'm not sure it's possible.

hello

the monocotyledons haven`t got cambium vascular if not have cambium not is possible to graft. palms and bananas are monocots. haven`t got secondary growth.

dicotyledonous have cambium vascular therefore secondary growth, papaya is dicotyledonous.

Howdy Folks,

Ya getting loco, Adam ;D ;D ;D

I planted a super vigorous, late fig, which has green fruits now :o...I'm planning to top work this tree with my best figs. The mother tree that is in the orchard, will be removed asap, to make space for a tree...maybe, plant a black sapote, or  Canistel or grafted Lucuma or Mango.

I do remember seeing a vid of banana being grafted...don't see the logic of grafting nanners :-\
Grafting mature banana specimens

Papaya's, Dragon fruit and try to graft some longans(which ain't easy) ;)

Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of your life!
