Who has grafting stock and can graft?

Hey you guys... I've had a few peach trees my Dad planted which have been around 20 years... one of them did really well until I tried raising reishi nearby. It could be the reason several branches fell... but maybe something else. It grows in a wet corner that gets flooded lightly for a handful of days but in think the root stock is tolerant... did fine then suddenly around that time lost two main branches

The tree survived and is reestablishing... I'm going to try my first fruit tree graft soon but I also want to make sure I keep this one around... it's the only one that grows HUGE peaches that are almost golden .. the best I've had frankly. It must be lower in chill requirements because it fruited as many or more years than the others... I like it better than red haven which just fills up with jelly and falls apart here... that is the one I lost onmy had peaches one year you almost have to build a scaffold for it..

I think the variety is 'Honey-O" but I cant find any information about it!

Anyhow I'll be putting scions up for sale soon but also if someone wants some and will mail me back a successful graft or two I'm interested in that type of trade I'm around Dallas Tx... if you know about the variety please share too it's really the better of every peach I've tried Extremely Juicy, the perfect acidity - A Huge golden sugar bomb... they're so good...

I think I remember a tiny amount of red to the skin occasionally i was happy to find a lower branch that put on a few feet and I have several scions a few feet higher that I need to trim very soon.

If interested just let me know!

I hope that many people take you up on this opportunity, as I heard that last year's freezing weather in Texas destroyed a LOT of the next few years' nursery stock in that region for sale there and to the rest of the country. (Being new to all this, I had never considered that multiple years of plant sales can be affected by just one season, until I went tree and shrub shopping last summer! A local lady with a home business selling plants and shrubs clued me in.) So grafting is going to be a solution to that scarcity--and it shows again that there's always a solution, if people are willing to think (and do!) differently. Thanks for getting the word out--too bad I'm not closer to Texas!

Hey William! At 20 years old, your peach trees are probably approaching the end of their lives. It would be wise to try and start some seedlings to graft to in the near future if you plan to keep your genetics. Some trees may live longer but most peach orchards expect 20-30 years max before starting over based on my research.

That said, peaches are notoriously challenging to graft, with the exception of chip budding from what I've read. Standard techniques like whip and tongue /cleft are usually 50% takes at best. I wish you luck!

P. S. I am not currently growing any stone fruit but have scions from a neighbor I am going to try to callus and root in the next few months. Sterile media in a dark room at about 50 degrees F, root hormone powder on scraped bark, and bottom heat to about 75 degrees was the method I saw success with on YouTube. You could try this if you have that technology available.
