Nice video Steven. I like that you added the result at the end so we can see that it took. I gather that soft wood like avocados are easier because it flexes etc.. Neither one of my two veneer grafts in my apricot tree looks promising while I had some luck with my avocado tree. Thanks.
Hi Romecar911,
Thanks
I have tried soft, young wood...it's ain't worth it. Go with semi-hard or mature, with the buds, that are nice and fat
I wouldn't recommend doing side vaneer grafts for stone fruit, this graft is more for evergreen trees. I only use cleft, whip, and whip and tongue graft for stone or temperate fruits. I grafted my two year old, apricot seedling, about a week ago and i used the cleft graft method. I need to share the bottle graft. that My uncle showed this method to my dad, like 20+ years ago...now i got this method up my sleeve
This method is excellent for them temperate fruits and also for citrus.
What kind of potting mix do you use for your avocado seedlings?
Hi Jeff;
I use normal soil (70%), mixed with worm castings(15%) and well decomposed compost(15%). Any well drainable soil is great for starting avo seedlings
try get a nice deep pot for starting Avo rootstocks. From what i have seen, they prefer a nice deep pot for the development of the root system.
Steven, nice video thanks for sharing, I've not tried grafting such young seeding yet but now I must try this technique>
Hi Scott, You're most welcome
Try this method and you will see, how easy it is for grafting them avo's
Dude, Avo's used to kisk my ass and laugh at my failed attemps
Now, they are very submissive and do what i say
