Forum: Grafting Onto A Flame Tree

grafting onto a flame tree

6 responses

peter_qld starts with ... I have a flame tree about 20ft high that lost some of the lower branches on one side when a climber was removed rather roughly! It now is uneven and I was thinking of grafting a couple of branches back to "even" it up again. Can anyone tell me if this is possible or how to do that? I have never grafted anything before.

Speedy says... Yes, Brachychiton spp. can be grafted. with grafting it to itself, there won't be much chance of graft incompatibility ;-) grab a book on grafting from your local library and read up on it. Not too hard to do, just need to know when and what type of graft for the situation.

Julie says... The flame tree I am familiar with is Erythrina indica, so perhaps that's what Peter means?	About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 16th November 2012 7:58pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees
