In today's video on the channel @misoo83, you will have the opportunity to see how the persimmon fruit, which in my country is also called the Japanese apple, is grafted, this is a thick and old persimmon rootstock that is approximately 7 years old and was grafted on base of diospyros lotus. When grafting such thick substrates, we usually choose one of two methods, the first is grafting under the bark and the second is called grafting to the gap. Since it is difficult to split the rootstock in the middle, I chose a slightly different way of grafting and grafting persimmon under the bark. This method of grafting is easier to perform when grafting a thicker substrate. When we want to use the grafting method, grafting under the bark must be separated from the tree, and at this time of the year, when the juices have already started in the plant, this can be done very easily. In this video, I showed you how you can graft a persimmon on this kind of older rootstock by the method of grafting under the bark, this method of grafting is not difficult even for beginners and gives very good results. The materials I used for grafting are materials that we can all get. And I didn't use grafting wax, this way we have a little more work to do to protect the grafted joint, but the material costs us almost nothing. Before starting grafting, I disinfected all the tools with alcohol, which is one of the measures to prevent the spread of disease, especially if we are grafting a large number of different fruit trees that day. Grafting under the bark belongs to the methods of fruit grafting, which is also called grafting at maturity, and is carried out in the spring. The grafted twigs were taken earlier when the vegetation was dormant and the grafting is done when the vegetation starts and warmer temperatures arrive. You had the chance to see the variety of persimmon that I grafted in one of my videos, and this variety has flat fruits that taste very sweet, this variety is also very native. The name of this persimmon variety is Hira Tanenashi.
