Thanks, Gray. Got me more excited -- and educated -- for this year's grafting.

That's if you intend to store for a long time... more than a month.. Or if you dont mind making your cuts through the parafilm tape.. This is a little more for advanced grafter...

Gray, thank you for the video. What do you think of grafting tools for avocado grafting? They cut nice interlocking pieces like a jig saw puzzle and make cambium matching pretty easy and work well on apples.

Years back I bought both the grafting machine and the budding machine... Waste of money for me! Never used either! Tried. In fact just the other day I pulled out the budding machine to look at using for Dragon fruit... So far NO... Grafting avocado is very simple! Just a few key points like with most grafting... When you get to hardwoods like macadamia, pecan, walnut, then you are talking about a level of skill... For virtually everything else--easy/peasy!

Are you preparing to do a top cleft or veneer graft? Does the budwood selection change between the two?

Hey Michael. A little tardy in reply but slightly confused from question... So this top cleft... maybe one I call cleft, and then veneer could be any style of side graft which is different for me than a bark graft... Anyway, in all of these scion could identical! Scion choice is mostly determined by availability! And availability most of determined by time of season... My ideal scion wood is hard, firm, almost like a pencil but it not that ridged.. the pencil is dry and dead the scion is green and alive, but ideally still very firm. Then there should be healthy vegetative buds. Sometimes these buds are not present on firm hard wood but only on softer more flexable branches. Choose the most firm of these. If wood is too soft chances of success diminish, unless you are grafting to equally soft stock. Only use cleft for small work, maybe 3/16 or smaller. Too much damage from this graft. I wish it would never been discussed, ever! Ha!

No you do not.. but sometimes good budwood is difficult to come by... it's good now.. but in a month or more it will have pushed with spring growth.

Why not start with a razor knife... they are cheap and very sharp for small cutting. The better knives can be expensive.
