The junction between this year’s growth on the apple tree from last year. This year’s wood will be harvested as scion wood later in the winter for grafting on.

Junction rings on branch making new growth

The Pearmain graft onto my species Malus is messy. The graft police would not approve. It worked though and now I have pink apple blossom from the fruit apple section.

Hoping it will set some.

All finished! Five baby grafted trees getting ready for some healing time in cold storage.

The grafting ended up being a bit higher than ideal, but I'm happy with how the cuts turned out.

The varieties include things like Nova Easygrow and Northern Spy :blobcatcool:

White bucket with five long branches sticking out. The branches are rootstock apple trees. At the top, the branches have the tape where the scion wood was attached, as well as the tags with the varieties.

I'm all ready to go. Wish me (and the trees) good luck :blobcatscared:

#FruitTree #grafting

Assorted items needed for grafting placed on top of a wooden table. Items are lined up and include two ziplock baggies of scion wood tightly wrapped in paper, one large bag  with the rootstock, thumb protector, grafting tape and knife.

Grafting the old school way with rubber bands and cling film. Forgot my buddy tape, which is way easier and faster. Nice to know other materials will still work. Cambium just needs to meet, the scion doesn't dry out or get loose. Then it will be fine.#grafting #plantnursery #MakingTrees

My first whip and tongue graft. A Mother apple scion onto G.214 dwarf rootstock. Rubber band to wrap it up, and wax to seal it. Not the best cuts, but I definitely got better after doing 12 of them 🌱 #grafting #foodforest #agroforestry #homestead #trees #orchard #permaculture

At a tree grafting session in #totterdown, #bristol.
Grafting scions of the unique Totterdown seedling and "Beauty of Bath" apple trees. Now need to find a place to plant them. #Grafting

Photo of two grafted apple twigs.  There is a grey floor on the twigs where the Scion was grafted.
The tree roots are in bags to keep them moist.
In the background are other people in our group learning how to graft.

A bunch of apple, pear, peach, and cherry rootstocks, and some apple scions 🌱 #permaculture #orchard #grafting

Rootstocks and scions plants in bundles on some steps. The scions will be grafted to the rootstocks.

Busy at work but managed an hour on the allotment today. Apparently I didn't blog my work earlier in the year, grafting apples. See pictures and alt text bellow. Today's job, watering stuff in the greenhouse, re-mulching a crab apple tree. #apple #malusdomestica #pippin #grafting

Some black tubs with woody compost in and apple saplings growing. The apple saplings have black tape near the ends of some branches. This is self amalgamating tape that is holding a grafted Scion, cambium to cambium on a rootstock. The tub nearer to the right has trees grafted with the mid season tasty apple that overhangs the ruined greenhouse. The tub further away and to the left has saplings grafted with scions from the late, quite tart apple. There are two steel poles, off an old airing line in the picture and a brick wall in the background.

Make your own apple trees—Online grafting classes from Seed Savers Exchange (US)

SSE sends you the materials you need (rootstock, grafting knife, etc.), classes meet online

seedsavers.org/events/apple-gr

Grafting is a great skill to have. You have many more options for varieties, and it saves a lot of money versus nursery-grown trees. I graft 20-30 fruit trees every spring to distribute in my community.

#NorwayMaine - #SeedSwap

Thu Feb 27th 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Center for an Ecology-Based Economy, 447 Main St, Norway, ME 04268, USA

"Join us for our annual seed swap! Bring seeds to share if you have them, but feel free to come even if you don't have any - we'll have plenty to share. We'll also have seed starting calendars and gardening books to lend. Scott Vlaun will give a short presentation about seed saving basics, and as a community, we’ll discuss starting a local seed library. We’ll also have some #scions to swap and offer a tutorial on #grafting onto #rootstock." |

Hi, a question for my local friends: does someone have kitchen herbs they are willing to share for grafting for my windowsill ? I'm looking for rosemary and basil (one can try...), but would be curious about any winter-friendly herbs !

Loop #Grafting Improves #Neuraminidase Protein #Vaccine #Production

Source: BioRxIV, AbstractInfluenza neuraminidase is a crucial target for protective antibodies, but development of recombinant neuraminidase protein as a vaccine has been held back by instability and variable expression. We have taken a pragmatic approach to improving expression and stability of neuraminidase by grafting antigenic surface loops from low-expressing neuraminidase proteins onto…

The medlar/quince root stock whip grafts have taken. The medlar buds are swelling. 😊

2024-09-19

Grafting time. My friend supplied me with some quince rootstock C and BA29 for grafting medlar onto. Need to increase my medlar supply for the cider blend. Grafts look promising only a week after whip grafting.

New Dyer’s Pass perry pear tree coming on stream this year. 4 years after top grafting. Great to have more pears in the harvest. Can make more single variety perry. I have to say it’s sublime. But last year only had enough pears to make 110 litres. . .

day. Im trying a layer of teflon tape to protect the bark of these peach seedlings. Last year the electrical tape tore outer bark when i tried to remove the tape ...an outer layer of medical cloth tape keeps everything tight.
