This book describes techniques of budding (bud grafting) – where the scion is a single vegetative bud with only a small piece of stem attached – as well as grafting, where the scion is a length of shoot bearing one or several vegetative buds. The goal of the grafting process is to form a union between the tissues of the scion and those of the rootstock, followed by suppression of any shoot growth from the rootstock, so that the scion becomes the new aerial part of the plant. The success of the operation depends on having a rootstock in prime condition, selecting quality scion wood and using the most suitable technique for budding or grafting. The timing of the operation and correct after care are also important ingredients for success.
