Such a blessing!
When we moved to Arkansas from Wisconsin, we left behind a plum tree that we really enjoyed. However, because of the amazing skill of grafting, we may not have really left it behind. Check out this video for more!
THE BLESSING OF GRAFTING VIDEO
FULL STORY
Before we moved to the Ozarks just over two years, we began to gravitate towards the homesteading lifestyle. When we began growing more of our own food and began to enjoy eating of our own harvest, we had one particular plum that was very delicious. After enjoying it for some time, we had to leave it behind. However, we didn't leave all of it behind when we sold the house.
I took a few dormant cuttings of the branches and brought them down to Arkansas with me. Just leaving cut off branches laying around for a few years would not work. Soon, the dormant branches would die and dry up. However, there are a lot of young wild plum trees growing down here. Though I had never tried grafting any trees before, I literally had nothing to lose, so I gave it a try.
Thankfully, I had about a 50% success rate with my first attempts at grafting, and now, over two years later, I have the same kind of plum that I left growing in Wisconsin growing here in Arkansas. Now, when we begin to plant our orchards down on our land, I'll have the same variety here that we once enjoyed in Wisconsin, from the same tree!
I hope that this encourages you to learn and try new things! Pretty my whole life these days is new and I am constantly learning, so if I can do it, so can you! Steem on!
As always, I'm
