In this video, learn about the grafting of fruit trees in Silicon Valley. The valley was once known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight and was famous for its delicious fruit. The demonstrated grafting technique is a double-tongued side graft similar to a whip and tongue graft. The technique is useful for grafting stone fruit trees (i.e. grafting cherry trees, grafting peach trees, grafting plum trees, etc.)
A step-by-step article on this grafting technique can be found here:
