Custom Grafting Services for most plant and tree types.  Includes ongoing maintenance, housing and care of specimen in protected grow-out.

Most trees and shrubs may be propagated using this method and can be converted to single variety or upgraded with numerous varieties as a customized cocktail. To create a cocktail tree, the cuttings must be species specific for compatibility (citrus must be grafted to citrus, and pear to pear, for example).

Depending on the type and size of tree, number of grafts, dormancy periods, growth rates and demand, this process can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months.  All grafts must reach their 2nd flush of growth to ensure they've successfully bonded with the rootstock.  We will not move custom grafted trees into the shipping queue until all scions have reached this stage of development.  

Grafted trees are inspected periodically for development and success, and are only shipped after a few weeks of low light conditioning, treatment for pests and diseases in compliance of state laws, and after confirmation of shipping details and availability of recipient is verified, and then placed in a queue.  If a graft fails in our care, we replace it at no cost and repeat the process until it is successful.

Some varieties grow more vigorously than others and will be grafted strategically and trained with future growth habits in favor of supporting less competition for space and light.

Demand for this service is extremely high, and due to significantly increased volume, we are unable to provide ongoing updates for custom orders due to lack of time. This process cannot be rushed, and requires a lot of patience and good timing to manipulate containerized trees in such fashion without killing them from stress. Once in the shipping queue, customs ship out in the order in which they entered the queue.

To order a custom built-to-order tree, you must choose and purchase your rootstock, the scions for the varieties you want added, and then a Custom Grafting Service per each graft performed.  You may have your tree grafted with varieties listed as "Out of Stock."  To have these added to your order, simply specify the varieties in the Notes section when placing your order, and we will update it manually.  If the type of plant stock or variety you want is not on the website, you may make special requests via email, and we can customize almost anything from apples to roses.

This is our AKME Gardens exclusive and unique service, one-of-a-kind, and we are excited to be able to create these works of custom edible art for your fruit orchard.

Our Rootstocks

You may purchase rootstocks varying from germinated seedlings to full-grown specimens up to 100+ Gallons for a variety of trees and shrubs. Rootstocks can be utilized as a grafting base for your scions, or you can have us build-to-order customized grafted or cocktail trees for you if you don’t mind the wait (6-24+ months depending on the project). We carry Dwarf, Semi-Dwarf, Standard and Vigorous Rootstocks for many tree types.

Whether you have us graft an apple, mulberry, loquat or other tree or shrub type, we will utilize specific rootstocks based on your needs or location.

We also carry hundreds of germinated controlled crosses as starter saplings under 12 inches--primarily for our unique Loquat selection (Kanko x Wolfe, for example). If you're looking for a specific combination, we likely have it out of our thousands of germinated selections. Feel free to inquire at Sales@akmegardens.com.
