Grafting Nuts On Oaks

Categories: Fruit Growing

I have 10 to 15 acres of black oak trees which I wish to graft over to

chestnuts. Can grafting be done successfully?



Some success has been secured in grafting the chestnut on the chestnut

oak, but not, so far as we have heard, on the black oak. But grafts on

the chestnut oak are not permanently thrifty and productive, though they

have been reported as growing for some time. The same is true of English

walnut grafts on some of the native oaks.
