- www.L2Survive.com As requested, here is Paul grafting a tree in his Back to Eden Garden orchard. Remember that this is done in two stages. Cut your scion wood in the winter then graft it on your other tree in the spring.
Great explanation. Mr. Gautschi explains, EXACTLY, when to take a scion wood and when to graft it.
That has to be the simplest grafting video on youtube. I've watched so many grafting videos that require all kinds of fancy knives and parafirm and waxes and such. Thanks Nub and Paul!
The more I see fo this guy the more I love how he SIMPLIFIES things ! Easiest grafting technique I 've seen. Kudos.
After watching this my grafting will only improve now , so a big thank you to Paul for sharing his knowledge on this, and thank you to L2survive on all the videos you are doing with him. God bless you all.
Please tell Paul "Thankyou" as well for demonstrating a practical and truly educational method, of grafting fruit trees. Bite-Size Gardens
I've always been interested in grafting and will have to try this. The first time I read up on grafting I was to use special wax and linen cloth to wrap it in. This will be much easier.
Thanks.
Fantastic! So simple - So direct - Less-IS-more - Paul does it again! Thanks for spending your time and effort getting these great videos out! :)
Awesome, even when you spliced it together I was thinking "but wait! the bark isn't really touching in all places!" But where it touches on the bottom of the V is what matters, not the top of the V that is just sticking out there.. Thats pretty cool. I don't know that I'd want a multiple bearing tree but ordering sturdy root stalks to put my favorite varieties of fruits on is definitely where I'd find most use with grafting. I can't even afford fruit trees this year. I keep telling myself.. if I had planted them when I moved up here 14 years ago.. Ahh but we cannot live with regrets.
These videos are SO HELPFUL. Thank you!
That was FANTASTIC! two great lessons! I love it. Thank you both!
Thank you for this video, very informative. So simple, I feel like even I can do it!
Great video you guys, as always, I need to start grafting here, SOON, thanks, Robbie
hello i'm from france and would like to find the apple name paul made you taste. because i'm about to plant a few trees and can't find the right vid you made with it thank you very much have a nice day Matthew
Wow, such great info. Thank you!!
Very educational video ... Thanks !
Amazing great video.
what are the advantages of having two sorts of apple/pear growing on the same tree?
great tip about the caterpilla eggs, but what natural predators do they have?
I am reading the book Alkalize Or Die that Paul recommended. On page 55 the author refers to cane sugar as "poison if taken on any quantity. Avoid it!" I was hoping you could ask Paul why that is. My family has been using organic cane sugar in place of beet sugar. And Dr. Mercola advises stevia, organic cane sugar and organic raw honey.
It is on my list for the next trip.
Mom...any further info on this?
Cane sugar, beet sugar and corn sugar are all sucrose, which is very wrong for our bodies, because it puts us on a fast-track for an acidic body chemistry. Raw honey, citrus fruits and grapes have glucose, which is the sugar that our bodies need. Most other fresh fruits have fructose which is good when eaten in the fresh, raw fruit. When fructose is cooked it isn't so good because the associated enzymes are lost. That is another story, however. In the tropics where cane sugar is grown the kids will suck on a piece of raw sugar cane. Many of them will have rotten teeth. Fresh, raw tree-ripe fruits will not rot our teeth.
Cancer cells will thrive and flourish in an acidic environment, but cannot survive in an alkaline environment, and fresh fruits and veggies create an alkaline body chemistry. It seems intuitive that raw organic cider vinegar with its acetic acid, tomatoes grown in sunshine, grape-fruit, tart cherries, tart apples, etc. would turn our bodies acidic, but the exact opposite is true. Instead, they turn our body chemistry alkaline. Avoid all cane sugar. It simply is no good for us.
Xysix Thanks for this info. Do you have a favorite book to recommend on sugar?
Any processed sugar is bad. Sugars in the plant are great, in nature you can never find sugar without fiber in the same plant. Processed food of any kind does not work
Paul, can cherry trees be pruned the same way as you prune the other fruit trees?
No. They grow too big. You basically have to cut them down and wait for it to sprout out new limbs lower to the ground. Watch this video with Paul talking about his cherry trees. czcams.com/video/eY4v5VogGOs/video.htmlsi=7-93mnAtYqeXTQtC
so u need those special straight blade pruners to do such grafting?
Can you graft citrus trees that don't go dormant in Florida?
So, when - what time of year - do you collect the scion sections to be grafted?
Winter
One point needed clarification is when Pual said not to cut and graft at the same time like April because it will be dry too quickly? But if we cut a scion in Fall and keep in the cooler,will that make it even more dry or the domant state is more important than dry? Thx
From my experience you take a plastic bag that can be sealed and put a moist paper towel at the bottom of the bag. Then put scion wood in the bag and seal it. Lie the scion wood baggie in your fridge or cooler (35-40 degrees). You should see little condensation inside the bag. This tells you that you have enough humidity so the wood won't dry out. Remove them when ready to use :)
*****
Great tip. So any "zip-lock" type bag will do. ?
Bite-Size Gardens I think you're on the right track :)
If you can, ask Paul is it possible to take scion wood at the SAME time grape vines begin to bud out using this technique? Grapevines will bud out in early Spring, so my reasoning is that it is still reasonably cool, so why not take the scion wood then and graft at the same time, instead of storing it 1-2 months prior to grafting?
It is on the list for my next trip.

I look forward to hearing Paul's reply. :)
Did the graft take in Paul's demonstration? Just curious. :)
Since you have to do the first half in the fall/winter and the second half in the spring, I would say no. This was all done on the same day in October. If he would have put the graft on in the spring, it would have worked fine.
L2Survive
The reason I was curious is that I was invited to a grafting demonstration in Fall as well, with an avocado tree - everything was done on the same day, and the graft took!. So, the entire grafting process CAN be done on the same say, but perhaps the conditions just need to be more favorable when considering other fruiting trees.
What about trees that don't go dormant, when do you graft those?
fudgedog I'm not sure. Give me an example of a tree and I will take your question to Paul in June.
L2Survive I have a kind of yellow mango tree in Los Angeles, it drops a ton of leaves but is never bare, its a male and bares no fruit, I found a female that bares fruit, I though of taking a cutting from the female and grafting it to my male to get fruit. I thing citrus is that way, drops leaves but never bare.
Subdude I was gonna ask the same im in Central FL and have 2 baby mangos I grew from seed. I don't even know if I should graft them? Did you get an answer?
In this video Paul talks about Tent Caterpillar's being damaging to a tree and to remove them, but he's contradicting himself in what he's said in past videos about pests/bad bugs being God police force.
He's said in past videos "there's not such a thing as a pest/bad bugs", Paul says they're Gods police force and they're "exposing a weakness in a plant or tree".
Please question Paul about this so we understand his philosophy better. I would like to know what weakness Tent Caterpillar's are exposing.
Thanks
When the moth lands on a tree to drop it's eggs, it isn't doing it because it knows that next year the tree will be sick. It is doing it because it is a good spot to lay it's eggs. When the eggs hatch, the caterpillars eat what is close. If they stay once they get their wings and continue to eat the tree, it might be because the tree is not well.
