What is the procedure for budding and grafting of plants and flowers.?
Budding: To insert a bud, from a plant, into an opening in the bark of another plant in order to propagate a desired change of variety or appearance. Budding generally refers to the grafting of single buds. (Budding is done later in the summer when the bark on the seedling slips easily. That means that when a cut is made in the bark of the seedling it can be easily pulled away from the tissue layer under the bark. This tissue is known as the cambium layer) Grafting: To unite a scion (the upper part of the graft) with a stock (the lower part of the graft) thereby propagating a plant of desired variety or appearance. (Grafting is usually done from late winter, when the plants are dormant, into early spring). T Budding ————– The “T” cut on the stock is made in an area free from buds. A vertical slit, in the bark, 1″ to 1½” long and a top slit of ½” long (in the form of a “T”) are made by inserting the knife into the trunk until it meets resistance from the wood.
