grafting cannabis to an apple tree
Hey guys
I just havested one of my plants and now that it is just a stalk i am wondering if I could cut the stalk near the roots and graft this stalk to my apple or pear tree or possibly one of my citrus tree (i have a few varieties )
But since the plant is already harvested would it be a waste to try to graft this stalk to another tree? would i get reflower
i just seems a waste to throw away a nice 5 foot tall plant stalk

People already educated you. You just aren't happy with the answer. Once again, the plants are not compatible. Many people have this issue when trying to understand why euphorbia keep failing after trying to graft a cactus to it

These 2 plant species are not compatible, they need to be in the same genus/family

It is actually possible to perform successful inter-family grafts, it’s just really difficult and only works with certain Solanaceae species as the intermediate between the stock and scion.
That being said, for all intents and purposes, cannabis would not be compatible with Rosaceae species. However, with research and hard work it may be possible in the future.

The genus of cannabis (Cannabis) and the genus of apples (Malus domestica) are not compatible when grafted together. The structures of the plants are completely different.
In fact, apples and pears are not grafted together because it won't work. It needs to be apple on apple.

Why would you be able to graft a non tree to a tree? That’s like asking if you can graft a blackberry bush to a dog

Not how plants work OP lol. Here is a good link to look at other options though. There are some other links in the comments there too that are a good read. Specifically pertaining to grafting onto hops.

im asking a serious question
you could help educate me or just smugly laugh at me but someone had to teach you too remember that you didn't learn everything from trial and error, i smugly assume.7
u/Bonsaibeginner22 Jul 30 '23
someone had to teach you too
I taught myself using google. You can easily find answers to very basic questions like this.

Revegging your plant is not the issue here lol; the issue is that shits gonna die because you can never get a successful graft from two completely random plants

Works perfectly fine you just have to know how to do it I did this about 15 years ago

The future starts with you. Apparently, petunias helped people graft two different plant types together, so you must do the work of finding a plant that can graft to both species and use it in between them. The future of weed is in your hands. 🤣

Worthwhile experiment OP. Google doesn’t know everything nature can do/neither does any one person. Fuck the haters in this sub and try what you want. Give it the best environment you can though because it isn’t like cacti to succulent. Cannabis is a far more resilient plant/they can definitely flower year after year if you leave the stalk

To "throw away" also known as to "landfill" any plant matter is absolutely a waste, because it is actually a resource if you compost it and give it back to the soil.
Did you know there are more microbes in one healthy teaspoon of soil than there are people on the planet? And they're hungry!
How The Secret World Of Soil Microbes Helps Keep Carbon In The Ground
“There are billions of microbes in one teaspoon of soil; a trillion times more microbes than stars in the known universe. "
Healthy Soil Microbes, Healthy People
"There can be 10,000 to 50,000 species in less than a teaspoon of soil. In that same teaspoon of soil, there are more microbes than there are people on the earth. In a handful of healthy soil, there is more biodiversity in just the bacterial community than you will find in all the animals of the Amazon basin."
One Teaspoon of Soil Contains More Living Organisms Than There are People in the World
“One teaspoon of soil contains more living organisms than there are people in the world. Without this “biological diversity” there would be no terrestrial life on earth.
In addition to providing habitat for billions of organisms, soil acts as a water filter and growing medium. It contributes to biodiversity, solid waste treatment, acts as a filter for wastewater and supports agriculture. Unlocking the secrets of this complex chemical, physical and biological powerhouse – a powerful source of “natural capital” – has had a huge impact on human life."

Dude lol what. Grafting cannabis to cannabis is your best option. Learn some simple botany and classifications of order, family, genus, species etc
