This video explores the art of grafting trees, using a beautiful Japanese Maple as our example. Grafting allows you to combine the desired traits of two different trees, like the strong rootstock of one variety with the stunning foliage of another in Japanese Maples. After watching several YouTube videos our goal is to surpass those videos for the most complete explanation of grafting and how to take care of a grafted tree in year 1 and year 2.

Although the technique applies to many trees, this video gives you a step-by-step demonstration specifically for grafting Japanese Maples. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, grafting opens doors to cultivating truly unique trees!
