Grafting for beginners part 3. Compatibility of peach, apricot, plum, cherry, 15 in 1 pear tree.

In this video I describe which fruits can be grafted to which rootstock. In general, fruits need to be closely related in order to form a successful graft union. This video also features a 15 in 1 pear varieties on the same tree and a tree that has peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots grafted to it.

BTW, at 4:23, I meant to say “apples and pears” not plums and pears. Just to be clear, plums and pears cannot be grafted together.

This is really helpful! Im just getting started with grafting.
What would be really great is a PDF/ Diagram that described the different varieties and there respective compatible counterparts. I appreciate all your hard work and you sharing what you've learned. Thanks!

Internet needs more long term grafting experiments like these

[williampaulhamus]

Your grafting video are the best I have ever seen

[PinoyGrafter]

its fun having different fruit tree varieties in one tree. I have 7 varieties of mango in one tree.

Thanks for this awesome video! Would you graft Blenheim apricot onto a Opal apple seedling or any apple tree...and how about apple onto Apricot? Thanks.

[travelinventor]

Thanks for all the plum and cherry details!
I didn't catch, did you I say what plum you graft the cherry to?
As far as I know pin cherry is compatible with all bush plums (Nanking cherry) all hardy plums, and most cherries.

And FYI your Ukrainian pear is actually from Belarus. But nice Cyrillic!

Nice interstem video. I found a comment and then some research papers indicating a good part of non astringent kaki is not 100% compatible to diospyros lotus but an astringent variety interstem should overcome it.

[ketolion]

Great info. Can you please list all intercompatible varieties u know of? I heard winter banana is a good interstem for apple to pear

Hi Nick, does apple on quince work ?

Awesome video! I can’t wait to go through and watch them all! I’m curious if there are other things you can graft on to Mountain Ash other than Shipova??
Also, have you grafted onto wild plum (prunus americana), and do you know if that’s compatible with both Japanese and European plums? Thanks so much!!

[EricBrossard]

Hi Nick really nice video series you did there. I'm out of the U.S. so all the nam you are using like nanking Cherry totally awkward to me. I'm use to latin name could you transfer those commun to latin name?

[andrejofak]

Hi Nick, thank you! I am new in grafting, but have plums growing like weed on my new property, but they need up to 7 or more years to mature. If I would graft peaches on this vigorous plum rootstock would it bare fruit earlier? What about grafting peaches/appricots on older plum trees? Or grafting different varieties of pear on big old pear that has sour fruits? And would Nashi be compatible with pear? Thanks!

[lyndysimpson]

I was wondering I'll be a backyard fruit tree grower but I only want my trees to be between 6 ft tall. I was wondering is it going to hurt my grafting trees because I'm not going to let him get tall like yours. Thank you for any help to my question thank you

Hi Nick, this is for me great video and unpayables information.. thank you for that. Long time I search a bridge between plums and cherries. And now I see this :).. I made a lot of attempts to graft cherry onto plum or vice versa, but without success. I tried several varietes of plums, peaches, apricots to join them with cherries, but nothing happens. I was inspirated by the fruit of 40fruits by Sam Van Aken, you certainly know him. In august I vaccinated a chip from cherry onto young myrobalan tree, and it works in the way that the scion develop 4 leaves, but then winter came.. I read a lot of possibilities but here in Slovakia we don't have the Adara. Do you know some other options? Could you recommend some? In one comment you mention Z stem.. sorry, I have no idea what it is.. :) is it another option of bridge between plums and cherries? Thank you very much for your answer

[jorgemartin]

Hello friend, good work thanks for sharing
with the problem of compatibility of the pearl and manzano, I wonder if the hicieras were a semi-ringed on top of the pearl insert and does this shape limit the growing a little in this area??
can this work??

[michaelchase]

Maybe you said it somewhere in the presentation - which plum rootstock were you using? Was it St. Julian A (known for its high compatibility)? Or one of the others like Myro, Marianna, Citation, P. americana, or P. domestica.

Nick Kasko, good video. I saw in your geodesic dome vid that you're in zone 8 ..what cherry are you growing there? I'm on the other side of the country (Columbia SC) in zone 8a. I'm working on some multi-variety stone fruit trees and would love to have some cherry ..unfortunately I don't know what my rootstock are, as they were volunteers that came up in the fence line after my neighbor removed a dying plum from her backyard. So I'm guessing possibly American Plum or Chicasaw. Would I need an interstem?

[homesteadrevivals]

We have an old coastal Washington historic homestead property (the one with hundreds of pacific crabs) that also has lots of plums. There are yellow, red, and purple American plum, some Italian plum, and a European variety similar to Mirabelle. I noticed, the other day, in an area where a helper accidentally brush hogged a cluster of Italian plums, that we have dozens and dozens of suckers coming up. I'm toying with the idea of digging them up and potting and grafting them. The thing is, Italian plum is my least favorite plum. What varieties would you recommend grafting to Italian plum rootstock in coastal Washington?

[TaylorinShirewood]

Have you done any grafting using Nanking Cherry and or Pacific Chokecherry? I have Nanking Cherry coming in April, and Pacific Chokecherry harvested and planted possibly sprouting in late Feb - I'm trying to get into grafting and to grow my own rootstock and learning how to stool the rootstock I already have (OHx87, M7, M111, Geneva 202, St. Julien). Any help or tips would be much appreciated :)

[WodanArsa]

Hello, I don't understand the word you're saying. connecting cherry and plum requires a bridge what are the names of the varieties.
