During winter and early spring, when both scions and rootstocks are still dormant you may need to graft plants or trees in your garden, greenhouse or nursery. Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation where the tissues of one plant are encouraged to fuse with those of another. This process is usually used for trees and shrubs that are grown commercially. Often one plant is selected for its roots, or rootstock, and the other is chose for its stems, leaves, flowers or fruits, known as the scion. In grafting a shoot of a selected cultivar will be grafted onto the stock of another type.
Grafting is a common nursery procedure and we offer specific tools you can use to make the grafting process easier. Browse our stock of grafting wax and grafting knives for accessories that will come in handy when you tend to your nursery, greenhouse or garden.
