Full Caepotisa Graft

Thinking hard about doing a full body caepitosa graft including all pups. Plan is to separate plant just at the root line. Root Stock could be a 6 to 10" PC yearling in excellent Health or a thicker 14" plant . Pics attached with shots of yearnings added also

On paper it looks like a winner. If anyone has tried im interested in their results or opinions.

I got these at a ridiculously low price and for once can afford to make a mistake. Ive done upwards of 25 grafts with a 95% success rate not including micro grafts which seem way more dependant on peresciopsis genetics.

NZ Pachanoi graft stock

I just pulled all my seed grown NZ Pachanoi to get my keepers separated from the rest. It looks like i have a lot of extra graft stock which isn't a bad thing to keep me busy this winter

Grafting plants of different sex together to produce fruit from one tree of a dioecious species

To put it simply I'm considering how to best grow Myrica Rubra, a dioecious tree (each individual is either male or female) to produce fruit in a very limited space. An idea that struck me is to graft a few branches from a male plant onto a female plant to enable polination and thus fruiting on a single tree, however I have not been able to find information on whether this would actually work.

As of now I just aquired the seeds so any grafting procedure is not going to take place soon, but it would be interesting to know if this approach is viable. Assuming the graft succeeds, would chemical signaling be compatible? Perhaps most importantly would both male and female branches flower at the same time?

What motivates me is in part curiosity, but also a wish to let my wife have one of her favorite fruits, that we have never seen for purchase locally, in a climate that necessitates growing this tree indoors. In the coming few years it will likely have to live on a sealed balcony, but I hope it can eventually grow in a greenhouse in our future garden.

Straw tek for grafting seedlings

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a technique I developed for grafting seedlings onto pereskiopsis. Perhaps it’s been done before, but I developed it independently of any input. I’m very proud of this method and hopefully it can be useful to others!

Basically, I just use a straw with plastic wrap on one end to secure the scion to the root stock. The straw aligns the cuts and applies pressure, also maintaining humidity.

Step 1) cut a straw with a 5-6mm diameter into a 1 inch piece
Step 2) super glue a Saran Wrap cap to one end, such that the plastic wrap is tightly sealed across the mouth of the straw
Step 3) cut seedling and root stock, place seedling in distal end and slide on and push proximal end onto rootstock

Make sure the plastic wrap is stretched, so it’s pushing down on the seedling with elastic force.

And that’s my method. You saw it here first, I think 😂

Grafting multiple crabapples to a rootstock- has anyone done it?

I had a crabapple that I transplanted after only a year, but the rootstock shot up where I dug out the tree. Newb here, so I thought I was going to get another crabapple; alas, I learned about grafting, and now I have what appears to be a random apple tree growing. Because it will eventually drop apples on my neighbor's yard, I did a deep dive into grafting and have a plan. I will take scions from three different crabapple trees and graft them to the 2" rootstock that's growing. This way I'll get three different colors of flowers on one tree. Has anyone done this with a crabapple? If so, how does it look? Thanks.

Cut, or let it ride?

Aell whats everyone think? I see some variegattion toward the tip. But would really want more variegation. Should I cut it in the fruit pic to try to force jt to pup from the yellow aerole? Or leave it be and hope it grows more yellow

Grafting plants like mint or lady of the night onto tobacco roots

I’ve been reading about how nicotine is mostly produced in the roots of Nicotiana and then transported up into the leaves. There are also documented cases of grafting tomato and other Solanaceae onto tobacco, and the scion ends up with measurable nicotine.
This got me wondering: has anyone experimented with grafting more aromatic or traditionally smoked nightshades (especially Cestrum nocturnum / lady of the night, or other fragrant Nicotiana species) onto regular tobacco roots?
The idea would be to keep the high nicotine from the rootstock while hopefully getting a smoother or more pleasant-smelling leaf from the scion.
Has anyone actually tried this? Did the graft take? And if you cured/smoked any of the resulting leaf, how did it turn out compared to normal tobacco?
Curious about both successes and failures. Any tips on technique for these kinds of softwood grafts would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
