Bench Grafting Apple Trees with Whip & Tongue and Bark Grafts

Delton Curtis demonstrates bench grafting apple trees with whip & tongue and bark grafts.

I want this guy’s confidence. I approach my grafting like I’m grabbing a venomous snake.

Thank you Herb for posting this video of Delton's process. I'm in Maine and starting an orchard and this year I successfully grafted 50 or so M111s with local scions and scions from the MOFGA scion exchange. Delton's clear explanation of each of his steps and clear demonstration of technique gave me a very good success rate. If you ever visit Delton again I would be very curious to see his nursery setup.

While watching you doing the whip and tongue graft I think I just figured out a secret that makes it almost impossible to fail.Most other grafts you have to line up the cambium on the sides which is not easy to do, but with this method the cambium layers meet at at the top and bottom of scion and root stock.This is demonstrated at the 4:20 time line quite clearly, as long as the cuts are flat you should succeed.

The best tutorial video. Thank you for posting.

This should be standard education in American schools

Hi whats in the bucket looks brown and hou long do you leeve them in it?

You say you have some apple scion grafted onto full size rootstock that haven’t produced apples in 20 years. Do you attribute that to lack of pollination compatibility, lack of pollinators, variety of scion, or the rootstock itself? Which variety of standard rootstock are you saying hasn't produced apples in 20 years? Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for the video. Please tell us about that black stuff used for the protection of scion and bud union.

Electrical tape will indeed come off on it's own. Time and the sun takes care of it. Of course you wouldn't want to make multiple wraps with it, but it works.

[dagobaker]

so u want both the rootstock and scions to wake up for a few weeks before grafting?

我喜歡像這樣的視頻，
如果能夠拍攝到砧木及穗木的細部，
那就更完美了。

Herb, I am going to be bench grafting apples for the first time this Spring. Is there a reason you don’t use a grafting tool that cuts the “V” in both the root and scion. The tool kind of looks like a hand wire stripper I assumed it would make it easier to line everything up. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge in this video.

[olddave]

very nice, by the looking at those bib overalls, it looks like you may have slipped with the knife a few times

[tariq-p]

Which u consider the best whip n tongue or bark grafting?

[muddyriverdogz]

thank you. Best video i have seen. How long does it take for the graph to take ?

[darrengarlough]

Where can I get reasonable rootstock, so I can do a few hundred at a time?

[farmmanager]

We grafted 300 trees on M111 using Deltons method had great success, but not so good with G11 did not cut very easier and most the G11 did not take. Thanks.

When you do a potato-harvest video, you have do the Norfolk accent; when grafting - - - TALK LIKE A MAINER! Lol, I'm from San Diego.
