Bark Grafting Persimmon trees for wildlife and habitat improvement.
Bark Grafting Fruit Trees.
Today we are trying our hand at Bark Grafting a persimmon tree. This is our first time trying this and I would like to say that I am by no means an expert. This technique should work for grafting fruit trees and by that, I mean most fruit trees.
I am wanting to share my experience so that it might inspire some of you to try it as well. It was much easier than I thought it would be but now I just have to wait to see if the graft takes.
In order to graft, you need two things. You need something to graft onto, which they call a rootstock, and you need the grafting material which is called a Scion wood. Scion wood is the first thing you need. It will be harvested in the dormant season, which is winter. When all the sap is in the roots. I personally bought this scion wood that I am using in this video. The reason is they have characteristics that I wanted to change this persimmon tree into. I also have harvested my own scion wood from some persimmon trees about 20 mins away on some family land. The next thing is the rootstock. I am using an already grown tree. I picked this tree because it has a bad limb structure. It is also a male persimmon tree that will not produce fruit. You can graft a female scion onto a male tree and it will produce fruit. That is the goal anyway. Follow along on this series to see how the outcome comes to fruition (no pun intended :))

This stuff works!

Use to put your scent out. Tampons work great too if you are man enough to buy them lol.
Primos Control Freak Deodorant: amzn.to/2jqYHNs
This deodorant goes on smoothly keeps you from smelling foul in the field. Works great. The Hunter Specialties stick is really hard and doesn’t go on as well as this one.

Primos “The Original Can” Doe in estrus call amzn.to/2wZUoOV
I have been using one of these for a long time. Called up many deer with it. Get the newer model that is posted here. The older one had too long of a note that can sound like a doe in distress. The newer fixed this issue. I have the older one and you have to make the call cut the note shorter.
Bug Tamer Jacket amzn.to/2wvaN9J I have had one of these since the mid 90’s. I use it every year during bow season and beginning rifle season. I use this along with a thermacell. This jacket is cool because of the netting and mosquitos cannot bite you through it. Love this thing.
Thermacell Portable Mosquito Repellent amzn.to/2x28jUB These things work. When it on you can see the mosquitoes flying around but they do not get closer than 3 to 4 feet from you. I use this along with my bug tamer jacket to combat mosquitos. No deet for me.
Frog Toggs Rain suit amzn.to/2ydiJOU This is what I use when it is raining. It's very lightweight. It is loud at first but after you wear it and get it broken in, it will quiet down some.
Fishing
Skorch Dry Bag for kayaking amzn.to/2Dl05X4
I use this exact dry bag to keep a change of clothing in my kayak at all times. You never know when you may take a dunk. It is better to be prepared.
Z-Man trd finesse | PB&J color amzn.to/2wuCbEW
I absolutely love these. Peanut butter and Jelly is my fav color. The green pumpkin and June bug are next. They last 10 times longer than any other plastics and they catch fish when the going gets tough. Pair them with a Z-man shroomz head
