Listen at the bird activity in the background. With all the different trees you have planted through the years its like a sanctuary for them. Nice job.

Had my knees up to my chest as I watched you cut toward yourself with a razor. Your technique is similar to mine minus the excitement of gashing yourself at any moment. My heart rate is still up. The good news is a razor cut tends to heal better than a cut with a regular grafting knife. Please be careful and maybe consider wearing steel mesh gloves? Thanks for the rush.

great video? When grafting the scion wood onto the seedling, can we use only last year scion wood or can we possibly use two year old scion wood as well?

How long do you keep you saplings shaded ?? I've heard to keep them shaded until there about 2feet above ground??

I have seedlings in the ground just about exactly like the one you used. I also have a mango twelve feet tall that I'm going to use for scion. I see you did the graft on the date of the video 5-24. Was the scion wood harvested at or about that time? Also, what agricultural zone are you in? I see trees leafed out in the background, but your seedling pawpaw looks like it is still dormant.

I'm in zone 5A. Collect your scion wood while the tree is still dormant and put it in a plastic bag with damp paper towel (not too wet). Put bag in fridge and wait for outside tree come out of dormancy and the danger of frost has gone. When the leaves are approximately an inch or so is the time to graft. Good luck 👍. Thx for watching 👀.

@@pawpawchronicles-n-morewit1210 I'm in 7. I better get to cutting the scions. These things could start flowering and leafing pretty soon. I have to get all the bagged apples out of my fridge. Apples emit a gas that will ripen fruit like bananas and cause some kind of harm to scion wood, so I've read.

What are the benefits of grafting pawpaw? If I was interested in purchasing pawpaw and I had the option to choose to buy grafted trees or 3 year old seedlings, would it be prefered to buy the grafted? What are the advantages of doing so?

Have you ever tried cleft grafting pawpaw? I have 7 I’ll be grafting in, I’m guessing 2 more years. Mine grow slow in my sand. I started them from seed last year. Can you tell much difference between named varieties in the way they taste?

Have some that I've cleft grafted. Grafted 10 so far this year and all were cleft grafts. The scion I had was too small for tongue and whip. As far as tasting the difference I haven't gotten to that stage yet. By the way, thx for watching 👀🙏

@@pawpawchronicles-n-morewit1210 I’ve got over 300 trees I’ve grafted on my property. Mostly pecans I planted from seed in the 1980s. I have a apple tree that I’ve grafted 27 varieties onto. I’ve lost tags on a lot of limbs so I don’t know which variety some are now. That crazy freeze we had in Texas -3 temps killed my huge Celeste fig tree and 2 pomegranates and damaged others. I planted that fig in the 1980s also. Where did you purchase your pawpaw scions? I’ll have to get some myself when they get big enough. I’d like to see you do a tasting vid of your different pawpaws when they get old enough.

Hi James, thanks for the content. I was curious if you've ever had a pawpaw seedling with 3 or 4 main shoots. I want to cause that to happen so I can graft 3 or 4 varieties onto one tree. Basically have 4 trees in one. What are your thoughts?

Have not done that. Contacted KSU about this and was advised that they had done a few. However, it was found that generally one variety overcame the others. Thx for watching 👀.
