I just started practicing the cuts of the graft .
I'm going at peaches and grapes .
I watched a bunch of YouTube videos but it's harder than it looks.
Wish me luck.

Edit
I think I'm comfortable with the knife now , only after practice and big cut wound on my thumb (i couldn't take a picture a lot of blood and pain ) it's really funny how first you are very careful but only when you think YOU got the hang of it and you put your gard down that's when you injure yourself and get cut ; its simple as that ...
i really hope it's not my neck next time bcuz im getting really cocky really fast.
Well i tried a bunch of techniques and i found a really good one that works for me .
Teflon tape is to tie the graft down and prevent air to get inside and dry , while you need to seal the cuts with a special tree tar .
And you should leave a nursing branch to keep the system of the tree from shutting down .
Today i only had time for peaches , vines will have to wait for another time
Hope you are all doing well .
That's awesome! What do you stick it on with?
Please see the update , Edit
I make a slit on each side that are compatible with each other like a tongue
Remember, always cut away from you and never, ever use your thumb as a backing.
Also, remember to keep your knife sharp - a dull knife is a hazard.
Please post something about how to take care of your knife , clean and sharpened
Yes thumb as a support not a good idea i learned that the hard way , i tried a bunch of techniques and found the safest and fastest and mostly successful to beginner is the bark graft
Thanks :-)
Will do, but in the meantime check some of my previous posts there are a few tips here and there :)
Nice..
Thanks for liking :-)
so what is that? grafting grape vines on a peach tree? I have a peach tree I have grape vines is this a thing or am I going crazy
No that's crazy , but i heard someone grafted a grape on a a fig tree

You can graft all red wood together like peaches on apricot or almonds
