Grafting! Graft a tree, see how.
Hello Steemians!
This season is appropriate to graft a tree.
Techniques are several, I'm going to show you one of them.
I'm going to show you how my uncle and I, grafted an olive tree a few years ago.
First of all we cut a piece of stem from the tree that we want to graft (for example a good variety of olive tree) and peel it down, in such a way that it can be applied to the new olive tree trunk.
The olive trees can be from a wild olive tree.
We cut the olive tree trunk completely.
On two opposite sides we make two slots and open the cortex to apply the stem pieces which we want to graft.
We peg them in order to apply well, then we wrap a ribbon around the trunk , on the upper part of the trunk we salve with special material or put soil and cover it with a cloth.
Lastly, if we want, place a bridged stem, birds sit there and not on the stems that can destroy them.
After a few months if the stems have joined with the trunk, stems will germinate and after a few years will have became a tree.
A secret: when the trunk is from the wild tree, then the tree will be more durable and can live fore more years.

Καιρός να αρχίζουμε να μαθαίνουμε τα γεωργικά γενικά, γιατί έρχονται δύσκολοι καιροί...!!!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ!
Πάντα έχουν ενδιαφέρον τα γεωργικά.
Nice! What is the special solution that you applied on top of the cut trunk?
It's a material which called tree stac, designed to assist wounds caused by grafting.
Protects against bacteria and disease.
Nice work! I graft a lemon last year and now i starting to give branch... you can see my 2 last post if you have interess :) thanks for this post
Your grafting on lemon tree is very nice.
The amazing is that you can have two different fruits on the same tree for example lemons and orange on the same tree.
Thank you!
Yes i know. I will try to graft a kumquat on this one. I wish i have success :)
Good luck!
