Grafting Loquat Trees - Learn How To Graft (Includes 8 Months of Results)

Video Description

Join me to learn how to graft Loquat trees from start to finish with the goal of getting your fruit trees to produce fruit sooner. In this grafting tutorial I'll teach you how to do a cleft graft or wedge graft, and you'll also learn some of the reasons why grafting is a great thing to do with seedling fruit trees. I grew these loquat trees from seed, and as they can take 7 or more years to fruit from seed, grafting is a good idea to speed up the time it takes for your fruit trees to produce a harvest. This grafting guide takes you through the whole grafting process, close up, and I'll be there with you the whole way to take you through it. I hope this helps you gain confidence with grafting - I'm still in the early stages of learning about grafting, so I have so much more to learn and discover, but I'll no doubt continue sharing my grafting experiments and journey with you as I learn to graft different fruit trees :) Here's a great book if you want to learn how to graft all sorts of other fruit trees: Grafting and Budding: A Practical Guide for Fruit and Nut Plants and Ornamentals BUY BOOK ON AMAZON - https://amzn.to/3iniYQa BUY BOOK ON FISHPOND (NZ & AUS) - http://www.fishpond.co.nz/product_info.php?ref=3784&id=9780643093973&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank GRAFTING KNIFE - https://amzn.to/3SZn9T8 Buy me a coffee :) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thekiwigrower Things you'll need for grafting loquats: A loquat seedling to use at the rootstock Scion wood from a mature loquat tree (make sure you like the loquats that the tree produces as this is the fruit you'll end up with) Secateurs Stanley (Box cutter) knife with good blades (or a grafting knife) https://amzn.to/3SZn9T8 Rubbing alcohol to sterilize blades Grafting or budding tape Please ensure care is taken when making the grafting cuts, as a very sharp knife is required.
