Cleft Graft on Figs

This is a graft I've used for many other species very extensively and have found it to work very well on figs also. This type of graft is typically best suited for use when the scion is from about 33% to 75% of the diameter of the rootstock. Rootstock does not need to be actively growing when performed but it should not be dormant either. I will usually graft in-ground trees in the spring but will sometimes graft in summer, if the need arises, as long as the weather at the time is not excessively hot. When I get ready to graft and prune off the top of the rootstock, I will watch for sap flow for a few minutes. If there is a lot of white latex sap flowing I will make some horizontal cuts through the bark a few inches below the graft area to let the sap flow from these cuts and then wait for 15-30 minutes before grafting.
