Banana 4 flap graft anyone?

[danzeb]

I haven’t had much luck with grafting peach so it would be worth a try next year. There are some limitations with matching size of rootstock and scion. Here is a very good demo:

How to: Demonstrating 3-Flap / 4-Flap Grafting aka Banana Graft

This is a mock demonstration since I am showing how to do this the third week of July using non-dormant scionwood. I’ll be showing a 3-flap graft on pencil thickness scionwood and seedling-rootstock. The equally similar 4-flap grafts are done precisely the same way. The only difference is you’re creating 4-flaps on the rootstock and 4-cuts on the scion. 4-flaps are used for wood having greater diameter. It’s more typical to do these 3-flap or 4-flap grafts with 1/2" or greater diameter wood…
