Bud Grafting (Chip Budding)
A bud is taken from one plant and inserted under the bark of another. Ideal for roses and fruit trees like apple and cherry.
Whip and Tongue Grafting
Both stock and scion are cut diagonally and then joined. Suitable for many deciduous trees including apples and pears when they are of similar size.
Approach Grafting
Involves wounding two plants and binding them together so that they unite. Commonly used in ornamentals like camellias and for indoor fruiting trees.
Bark Grafting
Scions are inserted between the bark and wood of the stock plant after the bark has been loosened. Ideal for large trees, especially nut trees like walnuts and pecans.
Side Grafting
A side cut in the stock plant is matched with a similar cut in the scion. This method is preferred for conifers and some ornamental trees.
Cleft Grafting
A small branch is inserted into a cleft or split in the stock plant. Works well with apple, pear, and other fruit trees.
Bridge Grafting
This is used to bypass damage on a tree trunk. Scions are grafted as a bridge over the damaged area. Good for repairing damaged apple and other fruit trees.
Splice Grafting
Scion and stock are cut at an angle, then joined. Suitable for herbaceous plants and young, soft wooded plants.
Saddle Grafting
The stock is split and the scion is shaped like a wedge to fit. This technique is used for large-stemmed woody plants.
Veneer Grafting
A thin layer of bark is removed from the stock plant and the scion is then attached. Veneer grafting is commonly applied to legumes and certain ornamental trees.
