What kind of knife to use.. should both sides be sharp or one side sharp and the other side flat? Would you recommend a brand so that i order online?

[DaveWilsonTrees]

@bsarwary One sharp side one flat. Tina and Vectronox are the two main manufactures.

Hello,

What do call that sealer again? And can I buy it?

Thanks

[DaveWilsonTrees]

It's Morrisons Orchard Seal and Grafting Wax. You can use any type of grafting seal found at your local retail nursery.

Great video. Tom Spellman should host all the videos on youtube. Most people are inarticulate stuttering sloppy morons. This was really informative.

Tom, you are an amazing teacher! You are clear, detailed, & easy to understand. You should take up teaching this to others, How to video, or even a book. You have a lot of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

It's a relief to find someone who can demonstrate something well.. Small tasks like this need lots of close up... You're well on the way.. thanks

Excellent video and thanks for sharing!  Just two Questions.... in your experience which is:

1) the most successful grafting method?

2) strongest bond grafting method?

@DaveWilsonTrees Is the grafting wax a must do? Also, what if you don't cut the tip of the scion and only cut the part where you'll be grafting into place on the rooted plant. Does cutting the tip just produce faster new growth for the scion? Greatly appreciate this video.

@rahulthacker Nope they don't. Basically if you have a non producing orange tree lets say for example. And you use a fruit budding scion of a lemon tree and you graft it on the orange tree. your orange tree will most likely turn into a lemon tree and only produce lemons. some guy on this citrus growers forum i'm at has a 81 in 1 citrus tree. He literally has 81 different types of producing citrus fruit. i thikn this only works since its all citrus.

Sion and rootstock have to be the same kind? Like cherry on cherry and mango on mango?

Good video.  Tongue cut was difficult to see and fully understand however.
