If I have an Apple tree suffering from fire blight and I cut it down to about 3 ft tall and graft disease resistant shoots onto it will the tree then become disease resistant or dose the rootstock need to be disease resistant.
@jamesryanphoto generally, you'd want a disease resistant root stock, but I'm not sure if fire blight is systemic or air borne so I cant tell you if grafting is the cure. I've not seen it much in apples but a LOT in pears, especially in a wet spring such as this one. The pear growers treat it like leprosy! they cut it out, transport it out of the orchard and burn it!. you'll have to research the disease further, but I've never never had a call for that particular situation.
This video was great! I've always had an interest in grafting. My grandfather who grew up in Georgia grafts almost anything that will stand still for him, so I guess it was wise he chose trees! :D You're extremely great at what you do, I hope it brings you a lot of joy!

@HoboNetWeaver I used wax thirty some years ago but it is way too slow to use on a commercial basis. the paint is much faster to apply plus in the early spring, the black draws heat which promotes callusing. when the weather warms up, I have the growers apply a white wash over the black to prevent sunburn. a good practice regardless of which type of sealer is used. thanks for watching.
Thats amazing, I had herd of doing something similar, but had no idea how it was done, but like my farmer grandpa would have said, "thats a cityboy for ya". The old car hobby has all kinds, and we all mix well because of our hobby, I have sold many 57 chevys to a group of sheep sheerers in australia, they have worn the lines off their knuckles from sheering so many sheep. Great video, lots more scenic than a factory,lol
trank? I assume you mean "trunk" and by "speed of circulation" , I think maybe you are asking if the root system will be depleted by accelerated growth due to grafting. if thats the question, the answer is no. depending on the root system, it will only produce a certain amount of energy through the cambium layer and thats all you get. hence, "dwarf trees etc...
yep.. sure could.. thats what its all about., changing varieties. commercially its done to switch to a more profitable variety but for the home owner.. its just to get what you want to eat.. and you can put several varieties on one tree
Cool...... So I've got this old crab apple tree in my front yard, but my neighbor has a bunch of trees up at his place with the best delicious red apples I've ever tasted. Recon I could graft some of his branches to my tree?

Interesting video! Can I ask why you use that asphalt emulsion instead of grafting wax or parafilm or something else?

You Sir are a professional!
I have put a few vids of grafting from my tiny UK orchard, get a lot of views, people like to learn this kind of skill, great use of youtube.
I do the rind graft a litle differently, just slitting one side, and it seems to work well as long as the cambium meets the cambium.
Hope you can post some follow up vids to show the aftercare, I assume you'll be trimming to one dominant leader.
kindest regards from Old England

You're the fastest grafter I've ever seen! Would like to learn from you, how many acres do you have?
