    This document discusses grafting and budding as methods of asexual plant propagation. It defines key terms like scion, stock, and cambium. It explains that grafting joins parts from two plants so they will grow as one plant. The document outlines the process of how a graft heals and forms a union between the scion and stock through the alignment and interlocking of callus tissue between their cambium layers. It also lists common tools used in grafting and budding like knives, saws, tape, and wax. Different grafting techniques are mentioned along with notes on conditions needed for a successful graft, such as keeping air out of the graft union.

    What Is a Graft?

    Grafting and budding are methods

    of asexual plant propagation that

    join parts from two different plants

    so they will grow as one plant.


    Why do we Graft?
     Propagate where other methods will not work
     Obtain benefits of the stock material
    M-9 40% 10ft
    EMLA-7 60% 15ft
    EMLA-111 80% 20ft
     Change cultivar on established plant
     Repair damage tree parts
     Faster production of new fruit 2/3 vs 5/7 years
     Novelties – more than one cultivar on one tree
    Grafting Terms
     Grafting: Joining two plant pieces to make one plant

     Scion: Detached shoot from last year’s growth with


    dormant buds, upper graft part.

     Stock: Basal part of the graft (understock or rootstock)

     Interstock: Stem pieces added between stock & scion

     Cambium: This is a single layer of cells between the wood


    and bark. It must be lined up for a good graft union.
    Steps in Healing
     Tissues involved are the Xylem, Phloem and
    Cambium

     Callus from stock & scion fill the space and interlock
    to form “callusbridge”

     Callus cells in line between stock & scion cambium


    change into cambium cells

     New cambium produce Xylem & Phloem in wound to


    establish a vascular connection.

    Tools Used
     Budding Knife / Grafting Knife
     Fine tooth saw
     Pruning shears
     Tying Materials : tape, rubber strips
     Wax
     A cleft-grafting chisel or small
    hatchet/heavy knife
    Grafting Machine
    Budding
    Chip Budding
    Grafting and Budding Notes
     Cambial layers of stock and scion must
    meet
     Parts must be held securely
     Keep air out!
     Union heals by callus production
     Adequate temperature for cell division
     There are limitations!
