we're going to put a side flip graft on this tree when the tree is a little too small for a whip for a Barton raft and a little too big for a full whip we put on we call a side whip and so I'm going to we have the same problem with bleeding on these kind of trees as we do the mark graph so I'm I've left these tubs when I cut the tree off so that I have a nice fresh place to make some fresh wound wound so that it would it could bleed there a little more stuff than I'd like left for nurse limbs and so I'm worried even when I cut it off a week ago I put some gashes in here and you may be able to see it is bleeding so we're gonna have a couple of fresh gases a little stream like this we don't go too deep and so a couple of gashes there and we could even drill a hole nice little bit there we go in there Oh an inch perhaps and so then we're going to cut the tree off and so this is as they call a sign whip as opposed to be in the full whip so we're going to get us a sign face pretty much like all the other graphs with two sets about with a primary minor in secondary bud and over on this side we have another primary bud the same day bud so this thing we're gonna do the same way we're gonna cut it down there they're just about nothing there and yes this is the one where you keep your band-aids handy when you're making the the back cut on there okay same old thing we've got it pretty flat and then we make a little cut I I guess you'd call that a tongue they call this whip or tongue grafting so I believe that's what they're talking about and then we're gonna cut hopefully just deep enough to be pretty much that size exposed there we're trying to of course match the cambium layer which is a layer right between the bark in the wood the cambium layer is that here in the outer edge and so we want to make this cut so that the cambium layer showing here is gonna be about that width so they'll touch so so this is a little tricky this is a rather awkward position to be cutting in but you noticing the width of the bark here at this what we're doing here so we've got to match this outside edge with that inside edge so I'm not outside of this inside cambium with that one so we need to get that about the same width in that is not too good yet but ah come on okay so now we're doing pretty good and so if we can put that in that position this area here will will match pretty good with that so we can make this cut where we think that it's gonna make it all come out together oh okay so you see then that cut there and so make that a little higher so we want this inner between the bargaining wood to end up right here not out there on the outside edge but right there and I'm fairly happy with that so now we need our tape we're gonna wrap it now and I'm a ream green tape kind of guy most crafters use a a paper masking tape but I don't and so some of the folks that use the paper masking tape then put a sealer over the black stuff over the top of the paper but I'm I'm a green tape guy No so let's see we're gonna do something here a little different sometimes I use the the saran wrap type stuff on that top and sometimes I use this we're gonna seal the top with the black stuff and we can put a little black stuff on there it may or may not be necessary but so so that's pretty much it now the thing is a sort of this dries then it must be painted white as we showed before paint it all white another thing to remember that when the grafts start growing you got to be prepared to keep all the rootstock drops off in this area and don't let these go crazy keep them fairly short and this should go way beyond the stake this year needs to be tight about every foot all the way up and again this make push out with two or three Puetz and you need to trim them back down to two pretty much one to pinch the tips on them so that one goes on up the other thing when the when the grafts are out here will footer to two feet you probably should cut the tape I don't I don't cut the tape clear off what I do is I in the tape I make some little cuts just like that in the tape so that it weakens it but it's still supporting the graft and then it'll if you put some little cuts in it like that it will expand and break by itself before it gets too tight you
