Hi Folks, I have finished translating Axier's "How to Graft an Adult Fig Tree" document into English, and have posted it as a PDF file.

Axier, my father thanks you for having described your process and findings. He is in the same exact situation as you were, and is grateful for your efforts.

That's awesome. I'm just starting to learn these techniques, so I'll be trying on some of my figs later this year. Thanks for the translation.

Thanks Paul for the translation.
I would like to clarify several things. I made this article near 4 years ago, since then, I have learned a bit more about fig grafting:
- Unlike I said in this article, I lately have gotten good results with chip-buds from cuttings stored in the fridge. It is important to choose chip with well formed buds and graft on a hardened green branch of the year. Older wood is worse to graft on.
- It is enough to keep the aluminum foil for 5 to 7 days, no more. Probably 5 days is better than 7. Get rid of direct sun on the graft during the first 5 or 6 weeks!
- I deter from removing the graft covering strip before the 5 week. Don't be in a hurry to do it, except for a very early vigorous sprouting of the bud (unlikely).

and maybe anything more that I don't remind...

I have a perfectly useless fig tree in my yard that would be perfect to try this on. Hopefully I can find the time. Thanks for the links and the translation.
