fydesvindico Posted August 1, 2014 Hey guys, I love how generous this community is, so I thought i'd throw some love back at ya! I've got about 40 fresh P.carth berries up for grabs, but i'll part with 6 packs of 5[berries] for now until certain. I'd like to send them out as they mature on the plant, which should be within the next week or so. I'll also have a ton of cuttings up for grabs come springtime, which brings me to my question... anyone have any experience with grafting psychotrias? any preferred methods? cleft/ bark/ whip and tongue? Should I be waiting till spring or should I be doing this now? Anyways... First 6 posters send me a PM and i'll get them out as they mature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhoenixSon Posted August 1, 2014 maybe ask darren @ herbalistics.... he may know, i think i remember reading he was going to do that graft viridis onto carth. i suppose he did that anyhow with the nexus X. Still sure somebody grafted them, could be done with a coffee plant i assume Good on you, I would be giving out my seed if i didnt have a bub due!(and im half scottish) plant is so prolific at flowering im scared mines going to die due to constantly flowering 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking at grafting viridis onto carth stock, The carth plants/trees I have are about 4 -5 years old now and are extremely large and hardy, I barely take notice of them.. they tend to look after themselves. I've a few varieties of viridis I'd like to give a go at grafting onto the carth, so am pretty keen. I left these plants with a friend while I was moving around a bit, but have them back now. He reckons they've flowered and seeded consistently since I left them with him about 3 years ago now! So I definitely know where your coming from with the amount of seed these guys throw out! He didn't care much for them, so I've got about a good 50 seedlings that have self seeded in the large pot they were in too! too much carth! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tricho serious Posted August 3, 2014 Interested in some seed please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr33ntea Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I would be interested in some seed if there is any left.The plant looks woody i would recommend WHIP & TONGUE GRAFT. As long as the grafting stock is in the family Rubiaceae it should theoretically work. Here is a good link on W&T grafting as well as other common grafting techniques on woody fruit producing plants Edited August 10, 2014 by gr33ntea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a good link on W&T grafting as well as other common grafting techniques on woody fruit producing plants cheers gr33ntea, I reckon I'll go with a few variations, i've got enough stock to play around with, so I'll post my results here after anyways. if you or anyone else wants any seed, there is at least 4 more packs to go, so swing us a PM if your keen.
