Grafting (Chinese video)

Wish someone who speaks Chinese gave us a synopsis of what it is saying regarding the lining up of Cambium layers..

"Nǐ Haǒ" Grasa,
Great video.  The number of grafts needed on a commercial level is staggering. Didn't understand a words but it was fascinating.  I was grafting some apples and peach last weekend and ended up purchasing a grafting tool for the next time. Just took the band-aide off yesterday :).

I have been following your treads and appreciate your examples of grafts with figs.  Planning on giving it a try this spring.

Grasa,

Thanks for posting this video. I don't understand Chinese, but I did get that the recommended Temperature is 25-28 Deg C (77 -82 Deg F) and the recommended Humidity is 70 -90 %RH.
After reading some of your earlier grafting posts and Youtube videos, I have been practicing grafting techniques in preparation for warmer weather. Thanks again.
In addition to grafting Figs, I will be trying Apple, Peach, Plum and Mulberry grafting for the first time.

Doug,
after seeing some of the videos and the fixed blade knives that were used, I did a little research and found a few common fixed blade knives that have been used for grafting. The two (2) Victorinox pictured are two that I have personally tried that are extremely sharp and very secure (larger handles) in use. the paring knife (red handle) replaces the small folding blade grafting knife. The Boning knife (black handle, blade cut to 3-4 inches) replaces the larger fixed blade knifes used for wedge grafts. A knife is the only tool that would work for most of the grafts that I will be trying.
