Here are a couple of pics I took this morning (with my phone) before I left for work.  The tree is an LSU Gold with a few other varieties grafted onto it.  With the warm winter the tree broke buds in early Febuary and then got hit with a 27 degree morning in which it sustained minor damage, but it is recovering nicely.  The only brebas it has set are LSU Gold. 

Very nice, Cal! Your tree is about a week ahead of my in-ground trees. I am in the process of doing the fig shuffle right now. Good luck!

That's a new dance to me, guess I'll have to learn it!  Good luck to you and your figs this year, and thanks!

What time of year are you doing your grafts? When the tree is dormant? Looks good!

Yes, I graft in late January or early February.  Really it is only important that the scion is still dormant I guess.  But when the tree is asleep is when the grafts take the best.  I have a small yard so by incorporating several varieties on one tree, I can optimize the use of space back there.  The only downfall is that you have to prune down faster growing varieties that try to take over, but then again, with figs, that just gives you some cuttings to play around with!

I would really like to see your grafting method if you are willing to show it Cal. With you being a month ahead of most members it would be great to teach everyone ahead of our seasons. Good luck this season!

Very nice looking tree. Nice open format.

Ok where do I start...

Charles - thank you very much.  The tree had a nice growth form when I bought it so it was easy to keep it going. 

Alan, Brent, and ohjustaguy,

I usually use the whip n tongue method to graft a dormant scion on the tree.  Sometimes i use a saddle graft just to change things up and do something different.  You can do certain grafts in the growing season, but I haven't had much success once the temps are breaking 90.  You can look up side veneer grafts on youtube, that's what I'll use if the scion isn't dormant.  I learned how to graft just  researching on the internet and watching youtube videos about it.  I use an art knife from hobby lobby (looks kind of like a scapple) and I just experimented with blades to see what I liked.  The real grafting knives where just too expensive, and this way, when the blade gets dull, I just throw it and grab a new one.  I ordered my grafting tape and wax from ebay, and I always wrap the scions with parafin wax (it's a paper wax you can cut into strips to wrap with) it holds the moisture in, and when the buds are ready to go, they just pop right through it.  I've had the most success whip n tongue and cleft probably.  The cleft I usually use when the scion is smaller than the branch you want to graft to.  Anyway, the most important thing when grafting in my opinion is sanitation, I always rinse my blade with alcohol before each cut, or each new graft.

Thanks Cajun. Nice link too. Have to find some local San Jose cuttings now to try and graft on my Peter's Honey.

Here is a technique for chip bud grafting figs I found online. Good luck!

Very cool link Ruben, I like the pictures
