omg how did i get here.. but. grafting is actually really interesting. I'm doing it to get a mutli-colored blossom tree. first time i ever considered a plant "mine" - can't wait to see if it worked.
@peanutcat10 It's possible a graft could produce fruit in the season following the one in which you created the graft, but I prefer to let the graft develop into a hearty branch before letting it fruit. So, branches that grow out of the grafted section are my first fruit-bearers--and that can take three or four seasons. Usually, a good graft shows dramatic growth in the second season and puts out several of its own branches.

Hi, I am grafting Cortland scions onto my Mutzu apple tree because a Mutzu has sterile pollen meaning it needs another type of tree to pollinate successfully, i wouldn't have a problem if I had another species of tree next to it but there isn't another apple tree for miles and I don't have room for another. I was wondering when will the scions bloom ? will they bloom this spring or will it take a year or two ?
@7777dmith7777 Fruiting buds emerge on 2nd and 3rd year growth and then blossom in the next season. So... for grafts that "take," you might see fruiting buds emerge on the scions themselves even in the first season, and blossom in the next... but the way I graft in the video, there aren't many places on the scions where fruiting buds could develop. So... I wouldn't count on significant flowering until the third season after making your grafts.
I have 2 gravenstein apple trees and want to graft on whatever will help with pollination. The trees are in the hills of Santa Cruz, California (near Boulder Creek). My husband loves King and Northspy apples and I have them planted in Monterey County but don't know if they would make good choices. Your video gives me GREAT HOPE that I might one day make successful grafts and enjoy the fruit from these trees.
Does it matter what variety apple i graft onto my tree? The problem is i don't know what kind of apple tree we have, all i know is that they are green apples, and i live in southern California, pretty close to Oak Glen, in the Inland Empire.
@aaronreina If you graft apple-to-apple, varieties don't matter. But I don't live in SoCal, and that could make a difference! Apple trees need a specific number of "cold days" each year or they won't produce fruit. Some varieties require more cold days than others.
In PA, we get those cold days without fail. I don't know about SoCal--perhaps you get enough for all apple varieties, perhaps only certain varieties are happy there. So, graft only varieties that you know thrive in SoCal.
@fatsami69 Spring us usually too late to graft using this method... though if your trees are showing no sign of "waking up," you might still be successful. You can make grafts any time during winter, but I tend to wait until the beginning of the last month of winter--March where I live.
Once the sap is flowing, it can "drown" a graft; the wood isn't likely to knit unless the graft is already in place as the tree comes out of dormancy.
People report that they've succeeded in grafting pear onto apple, but with only one or two varieties. If you're thinking of this because of space limitations, try planting young apple, cherry, and pear trees very close together, and then limit their sizes and shapes through judicious pruning. It's not an ideal solution, but it's certain to be more successful than grafting different types of fruits onto a single tree.

how far could you go with the species? Would it be limited to different varieties of the same fruit, or could you graft a pear/apple/cherry tree?
