Recently my family wanted to grow some plum trees. I already have a few Nectarine and Peach trees out the back of my house but not a lot of room to plant some more varieties, so I asked my Dad who is a keen gardener and expert grafter, if he would like to teach me, How to Graft plums onto my existing trees.

You must also quickly do the graft as soon as possible after cutting off the donor tree as the cutting is starting to die as soon as it’s cut off the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a>. \u00a0Side view it should be in the shape of a V like a wedge.\u00a0Whittle down each side of the donor branch, perfectly flat\u00a0<\/span>Cut down the middle of the recipient branch. Be careful.<\/p>\n Insert the graft Push down fully Insert the Branch and fully tape up.<\/p>\nTools needed to Graft Peach Trees:<\/span><\/h2>\n
